Hi all i am a registered disabled woman, i have disabled class logbook and tax. I have been very ill and had 5 operations in the space of 6 months late last year and i am def at fault for not dealing with my post mainly due to the fact i have been on meds that are 20 times stronger than morphine which made me sleep most of the day and just added to my depression, i have carers and rarely leave the house on my own and use walking sticks as cant walk un aided.
The JBW bailiffs turned up at my door last week on Tues 13.6, at 7.55 am saw a letter being put in my letter box so went to see what it was, i opened my door to see the bailiff just about to drive off and i saw my car clamped, i called out to him and he came out of his van and said he has now clamped my car and for that honour he has charged me nearly £300. I burst into tears and told him my car/tax is a disabled class, i asked him why did he not ring my bell b4 clamping he said, firstly he cant knock before 8 am and secondly it is their policy to clamp first.
I was in shock and could not stop crying he then said he could not deal with me crying and took the clamp off after making a call.
He then said i should send all my papers into them proving i was registered disabled and have a carer and they would refer it back to Islington borough.
I then called the bailiffs and explained i would soon end off the proof to them that i was registered disabled, i asked them what is their policy towards vulnerable people and they said as far as they are concerend my disability mean nothing and even though i am on benefits and house bounds it makes no difference to them.
Today i get a letter from them dated 14/6 a day after i called them, and it states as i have failed to contact them i must be avoiding payment so they have now sent me a notice of removal, and say "we dont require you to be at home but we prefer you to be there as we are now going to attend your property with a van, enter your premises and remove your good. I will be chared for a tow truck,bailiff and removal van.
I am so scared and dont know what to do, pls pls can someone help me, i feel so vulnerable and scared and dont knowwho can help me.
This is a break down ofn their charges when they came to my house for the one and only time.
PENALTY CHARGE/COURT COSTS £185
SENDING LETTER £16.20
LEVY/ATTENDANCE TO LEVY £57.00
OTHER(CLAMPING FEE HE AID) £175.00
VAT £49.64
TOTAL 482.84
Anyone who can offer me any help i would truly appreciate it i am scared to leave a window open for fear of them climbing in.
Thanks
