Hi, I have read through some of the posts regarding Marston already on here, but I can not figure it all out!
I have a court fine for £115 which I had no idea about until end Jan. By which time I also received a letter from Marston. ( My post has been very delayed since december). I put it aside to deal with and stupidly it went out of my head. This morning I had someone at the door. He demanded full payment of £415 by 5pm today. I told him I had no money and he has told me he would be back with a van and take goods. Now I don't own the house my partner does and nothing actually belongs to me within the house. both cars also belong to my partner, His is for work as he has to drive to different patients and the other is for me to take children to school which is 7miles away. He said he can take stuff anyway and he can get in to take it.
I asked if there was anyway I could have until 28th (payday) and he said he can give me until tomorrow 5pm but that he has a warrent from the court that they want executed today! I can get £215 by the morning but that is all and he still says that is not enough??
i rang the court fines office and the lady was lovely but told me I had to deal with Marston from now, but that they are not allowed to just take my things. She gave me the head office number but I not tried yet as I not sure what to do.
Do i pay the money in the morning and hope they agree to wait til 28th for remaining £200?? The guy that knocked was alright and just said pay tomorrow and then I'll see what we can do but I don't really trust that!
So ...
1) can they enter without permission?
2) Can they take anything that is not mine? (he reckoned that as I been living with my partner it is communal stuff? My partner would NOT agree!
3) can they demand for full amount in such a short period when it is their fees that is causing hardship?
Thank you for any help. Jen x
