Hi
Hope everyone is well and thank-you in advance to anyone who is able to help me.
Essentially what has happened is that I received two court fines for not having a ticket on the metrolink (stupidest decisions I ever made!) one was legitamate but the other I tried to contest and failed.
I had paid £75.00 off the fines but due to a combination of financial difficulty and moving out of my Mother and fathers I couldnt keep up the payments. Subsequently my case was passed to Marstons. Marstons are due to call and arrange a time to come round. Unfortunately due to this stupidity my partner has moved out of our flat together (true love hey?!)
I am not adverse to paying this off but simply cannot afford it. The total I now owe Marstons is £565 and I genuinely cant pay this unless over a few months.
What actually happens if I let them in? I know most of the time it says you shouldnt but what happens? The only things I have of value are a TV which is old and not especially big so would they just look to take that?
They mention that someone got locked up for 28 days for not paying but this is just a scare tactic (whilst I'm worried sick I'm not stupid!)
Marstons are due to call me today/tomorrow to arrange a visit. Whats the best thing I should say.
Obviously call me stupid but if they have this ludicrous £200.00 "attendance fee" then why would they not just turn up everyday to get a crazily higher figure for the firm?
On the basis I simply cannot pay would they take my TV and come back everyday? I just dont understand but I suppose its a good thing I've not been through this before!!
I look forward to hearing from you all (or someone!)
Regards
Jack
