4 years ago i lived with my ex partner and our 3 children sadly my partner at the time assulted my 8 week old child and was arrested and sentenced to prison months later.
My daughter was in hospital for a number of months and i stayed with her, forgetting to contact council tax and housing benefit, this resulted in a debt of £1101 which in was not made aware of untill last year as it had been passed to bristow and sutor.
I live with a new partner and our son was 3 months old at the time a baliff arrived at our house, he said we had to pay a initial amount of £180 to stop him taking our possessions which we did and we also paid his £24 fee, this brought the balance down to £900 and he wouldnt accept anything less than 9 monthly repayments of £100 my partner reluctanly agreed to pay this. We made 5 repayments and could no longer afford this amount so i called bristow and sutor to make them aware of this, we had to move out of our private rented house into a council top floor flat because we couldnt afford the rent but bristow and sutor wouldnt rearrange a lower payment.
Today i had a phone call from a bailiff threatening me saying if i did not pay the full amount he was going to come to my home and force his way in to recover the amount owed, and that he knows we moved from our old address and demanded i tell him where we live now. We never let the bailiff in to our old home and i did not tell this man where we live now, i went onto their website to look at my payments that have been made and how much i still owe and i only owe £400 but this bailiff is saying we have to pay £800.
Where did this extra £400 come from? Iam so scared to leave my house or even be alone in my own home, as i am scared that he will break in and its just me and my one year old son at home. please help
