From a quick read of that page it appears that the Enforcement Co's are either not passing the info on to their "employees" - whether deliberate or not, who knows or telling them to ignore it as it is not applicable and does not matter.

[quote=Monzter;245459]Have you asked to see a copy of this? Ask him for this at the same time you ask for his certificate details.

Hi firstly thankyou for all your replys, Should i phone and ask for these details or wait for him to turn up?

Re: marstons tv licence fine

This is Court fine and the HMCTS contract the enforcement officer operates provides a different set or rules on who is classed as vulnerable for the purposes of civil enforcement.

Do you fall into any of these?

Hi thanks again, i dont fall into any of these cats im afaid. Although i dont work my car is essential for getting my children to school 1.7 miles away, my car is my main concern.

Re: marstons tv licence fine

You dont really want him turning up at all. Make a Form 4 complaint against the bailiff for cheating with ghis fees. That'll give him something to think about.

Also, contact to the court manager of the Magistrates court that fined you with a formal complaint.

Dear Sir,

Re: [YOUR NAME + FINE REFERENCE] Formal Complaint

I received a enforcement officer on [DATE] collecting an unpaid fine of [AMOUNT] who said was acting on your behalf.

The officer said I must pay the sum of [AMOUNT OF FINE+AMOUNT FEE] and he said I was liable to pay his fees because of a contract exists between HMCTS and his company.

I now understand the warrant for distress was issued under Section 76 of the Magistrates Courts Act 1980, where it only applies to Enforcement of sums I am adjudged to pay.

Leaflet EX345, published by the Court Service says Page 5; they do not charge me for the work they do, and I confirm no distress or sale of goods took place.

Please send me a copy of the order or adjudgment that was relied upon to place a liability on me to pay the officers fees on top of the fine.

If no order exists, then I ask this complaint is resolved by:

1. confirm in writing no such costs order for the officers fees has been made.
2. remove the fees from the fine
3. Ensure the person responsible is made accountable for falsely representing to me that I am liable for the officers fees when I am not.

I will make regular instalments of [AMOUNT] a week from my prescribed benefits starting on [DATE].

Yours Sincerely

Hi,

I would be inclined to ask why they still say you owe £210. What has happened to the payments that have been deducted from your benefit?
