Back in Sept. 2005 I was caught by a hidden mobile camera near Dorchester Dorset,
Due to the van being on hire it took a long time for the papers to arrive.
As at the time the law said that the cameras must not be hidden I asked for the photo and to go to court.
at the end of May 2006 the printed papers for a court date in second week in June but did not post them until the beginning of June and by the time I had them there was only 2 days until the court date and I phoned them and they said sorry and would send out new papers and court date.
The next date in late 2006 was no good as I was due to be out of the country, I phoned and faxed back the confirmation form to say this.
At this time my post was going missing and I did not receive the new court date which turned out to be in 8 January 2007 and so did not send back the form to say I would attend.
Next thing I know is that the court meets on 9 Jan. and fined me £375 and 3 points when in Feb.07 DVLA write and ask for my Licence to which I ask why?
I phoned the court and was told that I could not appeal.
Then it all went quite until April 08 when I applied for a Tacho card to drive HGV's and they entered the details on my paper licence which said that the date of speeding was in 7th Feb 2006 and not Sept 2005. DVLA said that I would need talk to the court about the dates.
Then a week after I called and spoke with the court they must of seen that after 1 year and 3 months they had not chased me for the money.
I had a letter from the court fines office for the full amount and replied that I could not pay, but offered to pay instalments to which I was told you have had long enough to pay.
Next I get a letter from Marston, saying that I have to pay a fine for not declaring my name I called them and they told me I had to speak with them court and the court would not help me.
A bailiff came in early part of this year and I said that I was not willing to pay as the fine was not what was at the court.
He said that he would pass it back to the court to deal with, I thought great I will get my chance to contest the fine.
Then on the 30/06/09 another Bailiff came I was not in and he left a final notice for £697 and in the letter that he would come back one morning that week or after 7pm that day.
I did not contact him
then this Friday 10/07 he came again I was not at home but my wife was and he first went to my next door neighbour, knocked to the door and spoke with him about us and he told the bailiff that we where both at home so for about 10 min's he kept knocking on the door and windows.
Then he placed a card through the letter box, which he had underlined the amount owed and under schedule 4a he would enter BY FORCE enter and he would return within 7 days to conclude
So please can anyone help me with this as I start a new job on Monday and do not have much time.
Best Regards,
Martin
