with a warrrant for nearly £900. he has given me a week to come up with the total amount. i have managed to raise £500 but have exhausted all avenues for getting the other £400 how do i stand legally on this, as he has said he will seize my goods and my car....please help steve

Hi Welcome to LB x

I dont know much about bailifs but have a little read of this Bailiff Guide - Legal Beagles and this Types Of Bailiffs And Their Fees - Legal Beagles


I am sure someone that knows more will be along later xx

Re: warrant issued

Did Marston Group write to inform you the bailiff was going to visit you?

Did the bailiff show you a copy of the warrant?

"A person executing a Warrant of Distress must either show the warrant to the person against whom the distress is levied, or state where and how it can be inspected."

I suggest that you send Marston Group a Subject Access Request to ascertain how they have arrived at these fees. You can find that here Bailiff - SAR - Legal Beagles

Re: warrant issued

I presume this is a magistrate court fine from what you've said?

When you let him in, did you sign anything? What has he levied on? Have you sent the SAR yet? If not you need to add a paragraph asking for a copy of the warrant.

If you can fill in some of the blanks this would help greatly.
