This morning at 06.10 am a baliff from Marston came to our home demanding £625 for keeping a car with no insurance me and my husband have no idea about this he stated that he hand posted a letter on the 11th Nov which me or my husband have not seen.... And cut a long story short he said he want the money there and then or he was ringing the removal can to come take or goods then he said if he could not take or good he would have my husband arrested this is the 1st we have heard bout the matter and if payment is not made he is returning tonight after 7pm to remove property ........ The other factor is I asked for details off him of who to contact to find out about this fine and what car it was for ect and he refused to give it me also the house we live in is my father in laws and every thing in it he owns a part from are kids belongings what do we do we don't have £625 to pay them feeling very stuck n stressed out :,(

Re: Baliff attendance for uninsured car

Others will advice better than I can but you need to find out what car and when the alleged offence occurred? and who took the action as for Bailiffs they cant get your husband arrested without some evidence the police don't arrest on the say so of a bailiff,
Were you or a family member ever stopped by the police?

Re: Baliff attendance for uninsured car

The bailiff is obliged to provide you with relevant details, as are Marstons. Contact your local Magistrates Court and see if they can shed any light on the matter. If you draw a blank there, come back onto this thread and the email for the appropriate HMCTS Area Enforcement Team will be provided so you can pursue this further.

Offences relating to uninsured vehicles will either be a police force or DVLA, the latter being well-practised in the art of bungling incompetence.

Ok will call them the bailiff told us the courts won't deal with us now though is that true none of us have been stopped by police for no insurance because we have always had it we had no idea about this at all so stressed out

Are you saying that Marstons and their bailiff are refusing to provide you with relevant details? If this is the case, please advise which county you reside in and I will dig out the email address for your local HMCTS Area Enforcement Team. Normally, you should go through the court that issued the Distress Warrant before approaching the Area Enforcement Team, but, clearly, Marstons want to play silly buggers. Okay. If they want to play it that way, so be it.

The bit in red is intriguing - are you saying that you use old (no longer roadworthy?) cars on private land for horse related purposes? Transport? Storage?

There does not appear to be an Area Enforcement Team that covers South Yorkshire. Therefore, use the email address for the team for North & West Yorshire which is WY-cec@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk.

In the subject box, write "For Attention of Senior Enforcement Manager or Service Delivery Manager". Quote HMCTS references, if available and give as much detail as possible. Make sure you quote a contact telephone number. Explain you cannot find a contact for South Yorkshire. If they have one, ask them for the email address. HMCTS Area Enforcement Teams are, on the whole, very helpful.

Hope this helps.

Bailiffs lie like other people breathe - sixteen times a minute until they die. Follow the advice given by Bluebottle.
