One quick way of stopping these prats is to use Section 3, Protection from Harassment Act 1997. You can apply for an ex parte order (an Interim Injunction without giving notice to the bailiff and his employers) to your local County Court.

This does cost £70 though. It is only free in the Magistrates' Court.

What if i go the the local magistrate court and speak to them and tell them that i have paid the fine in full.

High Court Enforcement Officers are entitled to force entry to commercial premises at any time in order to seize goods to discharge the debt owing. They are not allowed to do so if the premises are attached to the debtors residence - a shop where the owners accomodation is adjacnt or bove for example.

As for residential premises they have to gain peaceful entry but may force entry to any other detached buildings within the perimeter - a garage for instance - if he believes it contains goods that may be seized and sold - a car possibly.

Re: Marston Bailiff Letter for court fine which i already paid

First of all i would like to thank everyone for helping me with this specially bluebottle and labman for recommending me towards law centre. One more thing is that i looked at the receipt and i paid the fine on the 10th of February rather than 14th(my son's birthday).

Form instructions : Directgov - Community Legal Advice - call back service

I went on the website at around 11am and requested for a call back at 2pm and they were on time to call me, first a lady took my details and than passed me to adviser and she said that as the fine was paid in full, the bailiff cannot levy on anything as he is only got his fees to recover and she said the bailiff should have never visited me asking for his extra £215 as he visited me to collect his fee so that £215 is invalid. She said that we might have to pay £85 to marston for sending the letter but when i mentioned that i have got a disable son and i receive carers allowance, she said that i fall in the vulnerable category. The lady from law centre also tried calling the court to take the fine back but there computers were down so they could not help and than she called marston on my behalf and explained that the case should be handed back to court as i fall in vulnerable category.
Now this is what i could not understand as i was listening to this conversation between the law centre and marston. Now i paid the rest of my fine on the 10th of february and the lady at marston said that my case went back to court on the 13th and was returned back to marston within two hours.
All i can understand is that the court received the fine in full but what was the reason that they sent it back to marston? is there some funny business going on or is it just me?

By the sound of it gluteus maximus does not know what distal end of humerus is doing, Mohmmad. It does happen, unfortunately. Thank you, CC, for coming up with such a cracking way of putting an otherwise common phrase in a way that isn't rude.

Re: Marston Bailiff Letter for court fine which i already paid

That card from Marstons is a load of poppycock and, if one considers the old Dutch etymology of "poppycock", it is singularly slimy and smelly "cack" at that.

Marstons just cannot get the law quite right. There is no "Schedule 4A of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004 - link - though there is a Schedule 4 (link).

The Act in which Schedule 4A was inserted (by an amendment to the 2004 Act introduced late one evening and voted through without discussion as "a mere technicality") is the Magistrates Courts Act 1980 - link - although that Act does not, at first sight, seem to extend that draconian and oppressive power to mere Certificated Bailiffs; perhaps they claim to be an approved enforcement agency that has been appointed under section 125B?

As the other video was deleted by youtube it seems that our friends at marston dont want people to see this video so here is another one

Obviously, Marstons don't want the world to see what complete morons they employ as bailiffs. Don't throw that card away as it's evidence of Being In Possession of an Article for Use in Connection With Fraud and, possibly, Attempted Blackmail, as well, on the part of the bailiffs and Marstons. The bailiff and Marstons' management team could be in very serious trouble over this. The cost of enforcing fines is incorporated into the fine itself. They get paid by the court once the fine is paid in full. Bailiff firms cannot demand fees from the fine defaulter.
