Funny how now they care about data protection after their agent dealt with, took money from, and accepted my signature, even though it wasn't my fine!!

Re: Marston harrassment for court fine already paid!!

HI

im a new user and dont yet really know how to post on these forums but need some help with a situation i am currently going through and would be appreciative if someone can either direct me how to start a new thread or help me on this one.

I have an old court fine from manchester magistrates at my old address which went into default from a detachment of earnings because of a split in unemployment benefits while im at college.

the original fine was for £125 and was quite happily paying itself off at a weekly rate. when it defaulted i was requested to pay the full ammount. when i was not contacted after a few weeks with a payment plan.... marsdens got in touch around xmas. i payed (to get em out my hair over the festive period £85 pounds) from the sum of 386 they rate i owed em.

anyway i have since been phoned twice saying a bailiff has a distress warrant and wants to bring a lock smith n police etc. im just wondering whether this is legit as they say i now owe 490. Im at college 3 days and dont like the idea of some character turning up and puttin my mrs on the spot with 2 kids at home whilst im away.

again if someone could direct me how to repost this as a new forum or if someone can help me out here..... apologies for the forum faux pas as im not a forum poster really

cheers

The most they can charge in fees is £300 tops. If necessary, I can provide you with the telephone number of the Senior Enforcement Manager for the Manchester area in order that you can chase this up with them. Marstons must also prove to the the court that you are intentionally and persistently avoiding paying a fine before the court will authorise forced entry.

Could you answer these questions, please -

1. Have Marstons sent you a letter?
2. Has any Marstons bailiff physically attended your home?
3. How much of the fine is currently outstanding?

Re: Marston harrassment for court fine already paid!!

Hi again i am about to write a letter to the courts to request inormation. am I just requesting the same information that I requested from Marstons (letter pinched from here) or should I be asking for anything else?

Re: Marston harrassment for court fine already paid!!

No joy getting through to the court today Does anone know whether there is an email address, or anyhere I can write to? I am not letting them away with this!! the have left my family without food, and I wont stop until I get my money back! Also does it make a ifference that the baliff dealt with me without knowing who I was even though the fine was in my husbands name!

Can anyone help with an email address?

It's probably this one:

Re: Marston harrassment for court fine already paid!!

It may be easier to go through the HMCTS Senior Enforcement Manager (SEM) for the court that imposed the fine. For the Liverpool area, try these -

Senior Enforcement Manager (Cheshire and Merseyside)

Telephone: 01633 645112
Email: CH-CPOSupervisors@HMCTS.GSI.GOV.UK

Make sure you have the relevant court reference available when you ring. This should be on the Further Steps Notice or Marstons receipt. If the bailiff has lied and/or resorted to unlawful behaviour, he may be kissing his bailiff certificate goodbye or, possibly, be liable to prosecution. It will, however, depend on just how serious the bailiff's actions have been.
