HI Everyone this is my first post.
Due to a judgement in default Last Autumn I was visited by two HCEOs from the Sheriffs Office. (I did not receive the court papers but that is history and now dealt with as I applied for a set aside which was refused)
They were extremely intimidating, blocked my driveway and went around the back of my house.
They waved a sheet of paper at me and demanded immediate payment of the court judgement plus their fees.
After making a couple of quick calls I told them a family member would pay then over the phone but they refused.
This meant we had to transfer the money to my account which took a little longer. I kep tha baliffs infromed of this through the front door but whilst it was on a safety chain.
Whilst this was happening they clamped my car (which I need for business as I am self employed)
and kept racking up the costs saying that they had sent for a tow truck.
I enquired why, as I was in the process of getting the money for them. etc etc.
I paid up and would now like to have a go at getting some of the fees back as I know they have taken me to cleaners.
I wrote and asked for a Breakdown
of their fees which I have attached for comments/advice please.
