(bare faced lie) i told him i was going to speek with debt advisor and he said do what you like as he not playing piggy in the middle, the lady spoke with him on the phone to ask him few questions and he just told her he was going to break in anyway, she asked for his no and name and when she told him she was from welfare rights he said oh i was messing, i didnt men it, ??? sonow i got him coming round tomorrow, he said he wants to take my stuff and is adiment that they do not do installments, i have been told to let him in and to see i have nothing in the way of goods that are good enough for the ammount he wants, but im worried that he is just going to take anything to make this ammount up? what do i do. thanks a worried mum xxxx

Re: marstons coming tomorrow........
i have also been told to call his bluff and what ever he writes down, within reason, then just tell him to take it, as im not sure if when he comes tomorrow he is going to want to set up payment arrangements, and if so how much per week, is it worth saying take it, the dryer in my house is my sisters as she moved and there is one already in her house, but she said i can use hers untill she needs it back, can he take it? i can not afford to have gas on so its my only means of drying when it rains. -
Re: marstons coming tomorrow........
Dont let him in.
Keep your doors and windows locked he CANNOT break in, if you have a car, move it out of the road so he cannot levy it. call the courts and explain the situation and ask them for a stay of execution due to ill health, also ask can you arrange a payment plan with them directly.
In the meantime, you need to write to the baillifs asking for a breakdown in charges.
If the baillif arrives, do NOT argue with him, tell him to post the levy through the letter box and come away from the door.If he starts threatening to break in etc, call the police and ask for help as you are in poor health, and the baillif is aware.
He cannot break in, he cannot have your children taken away from you, 99.9% of the things he will threaten you with, legally he cant do it. If you have a video camera, it may be worth videoing his actions.Comment

Re: marstons coming tomorrow........
The debt advisor at the council should be sacked. What they have said is totally incorrect. Did the OP receive a Further Steps Notice? If HMCTS has been side-stepping the proper procedures, any distress and/or levy will be irregular, if not, illegal. HMCTS know damned well they are 100% vicariously-liable for the actions of The Muppets from Marstons. A certificated bailiff cannot break in without a signed and sealed court order and the police in attendance. Also, no locksmith, especially those who are members of the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA), will assist anyone to gain forcible entry to property without sighting a valid court order and the police will take the same stance. No lawful authority, no entry. Do not let the scumbags, sorry, bailiff in, no matter what threats they make. Take the advice of videoing everything these thugs do and say. You'll have them bleating you can't film them, but the truth is, yes, you can.Life is a journey on which we all travel, sometimes together, but never alone.Comment

Re: marstons coming tomorrow........
Do not give the ba:censored:rd bailiff your medical certificate and certainly do not open the door to the bugger! Get a photocopy of the certificate and pass him that, through your letterbox.Originally posted by mell77 View Post
Keep your doors and windows securely locked - and that includes the upstairs windows, too, as they are allowed to use a ladder to climb through an open window.Comment
