Hi all, I am new to this. I will try and explain in as much detail as I can.
Yesterday (05/12/13) I had a knock on the door, however I was pre-occupied upstairs to did not have time to run to the door. I then went to my front door to find a letter had been posted to myself. I opened it and read that I owe over £600 to Marstons. I phoned the telephone number at the bottom of the letter to get in touch with the man that posted it. I asked why the debt had come from HMCTS Thames Valley when I live in Somerset. I then asked him why I owe this amount of money, he continued to ruffle through his notes and explained it was from a fine from 2009 and he did not know the sum of money owed then (I did go to court in 2010 about this fine and payed money there and then) He said the debt is for 2 debts outstanding. I explained I could not afford this kind of money just before Christmas, and he told me to beg and borrow from friends and family, and that they did not care if they had to use 6 different credit cards from 6 different people, they just wanted their money that day! He then told me if I cannot pay the full amount a no bail warrant for my arrest will be issued.
I currently live with my partner and his mother, and the only things I own in this house are my clothes. Can they take other peoples belongings? I am also 19 weeks pregnant, and last night I had bad pains in my tummy and called 111 who gave me advice. I also did not sleep. I am completely stressed and scared to answer my front door.
I know I should of payed the debt years ago, but I payed nearly the whole lot when I went to court which was an ordeal in itself, is there a way that the court will have a record of that payment. Or is it too long ago, and would it be worth it? I am at a complete loss at the moment.
None of my friends/family can afford to lend me money.
Any advice at all would be very much appreciated.
Many many thanks

The Black rat (Rattus rattus) is a common (hence the accusation of being Pleb) long-tailed rodent of the genus Rattus (rats) in the subfamily Murinae (murine rodents). The species originated in tropical Asia and spread through the Near East in Roman times (another thing that we ought to thanks the Romans for, besides roads, aqueducts and public toilets) before reaching Europe by the 1st century and spreading with Europeans across the world.
