Hi everyone. I have searched your forum and am confident you will be able to advise me. I have some expertise in social work and may be able to return the favour some time.
I am most distressed having received a Bailiffs removal notice from Rossendales today when I was out.They demand £977.81 inclusive of costs.
"No further arrangements are acceptable and payment is now required in full by clear funds only.
I will attend at your address at my convenience and may remove goods even in your absence. "
I called Rossendales and asked to speak with a manager regarding the above. I explained that I am elderly and in poor health, and that my memory is not always as good as I would want it to be. I had an arrangement to pay £25 per two weeks starting 17 January 2013. I was due to make a payment on 15 March 2013. The date and payment passed me by and it was not until 26 March 2013 that I paid £50 I was due to pay, according to my calculation again today, which I did. Rossendales were adamant that as I had defaulted on 15March that the warrant of execution was to be served today. i explained that I understood the procedure that was explained to me and that I would like to speak with a manager regarding the circumstances of my reason for default and to discuss the possibility of a new arrangement where I would pay by direct debit every month, as my bank could not set up a two week arrangement. The Bailiff would return tomorrow to levy the costs against removal of my goods and chattels. The company refused to negotiate any further terms of payment. I was advised to contact the Bailiff direct, that the decision lay with him as to what action would be taken.
I spoke with L. Morley Bailiff in charge and he was totally disinterested in what I had to say. He passed the call on to his female assistant to speak with me. The answer was emphatically clear and non-negotiable. They are to return tomorrow a.m. I am so very distressed and have almost reached the will not to live. I should be most grateful for your advice and guidance.
