    Include in MP also imho, as they should be under no illusions about the endemic criminality in the enforcement industry, that is aided and abetted by HMCS and the police.

    Yes I am happy for it to be referred to the relevant people. I just want this whole mess over with. I feel I have been treated unfairly and am so upset over this. I haven't got a clue how I'm gonna get my kids for school and how I am gonna work tomorrow.

    I just don't know where to start with all of this!
    Kim you have been dealt with unfairly, as due to your circumstances, and work patterns you have been prevented from working and taking children to school, a bailiff will argue that a car is not essential, as public transport can be used, in your case not possible so that argument is invalid, the car is not worth enough, to cover all fees and a sizeable portion of the debt, again bailiff has levied and persuaded the police to effectively steal the car for him, solely for fees.

    I feel that marstins will have an ephiphany over this one when they see the hole they have dug for themselves. Sadly the police who should have felt the bailiffs collar, have probably broken the leaw themselves by aiding and abetting him. They are as inept as Clouseau, which is why i spelled Law as Leaw.

    Might be worth reiterating the fact marstons have ignored totally a potential vulnerability

    All of my family and friends work within school times. I'm worried that when I can't get my kids to school I will then be in trouble for that too

    Could a family member or a friend help at all?

And way beyond any original fine or sentence in it's impact? Which also then brings in Articles 4, as the enforcement is effectively a sentence without a proper hearing, and 8 where the right to a family life is impinged due to effect on children, .

    Kim,

    I am currently waiting for the Bailiff Working Group members to get back to me. Would you be willing for this to be referred to the CEO of Marstons and/or one of the Heads of Enforcement Operations at HM Courts & Tribunals Service, if this becomes necessary?

    I agree - making it harder or impossible for a debt to be discharged was the reason why debtors' gaols were abolished in the nineteenth century.

    It is a pity you do not have a recording of that future lollipop woman saying that.
