Collectica Bailiff returning tomorrow to take car

[MandiL]

Help again please please . I had a knock on the door from a collectica bailiff telling me in 45 mins the police and locksmiths were coming unless I come up with £825 cash for a speeding fine .. Which I had offered to pay at a small amount but they refused. I'm not working due to waiting an operation, I'm single parent, my partner died in September, I rent my house and I have no other income apart from ESA and child tax credit ATM I can barely afford to live ATM.
He is returning tomorrow at 7.30/7.45 I'm scared very scared, my name is on log book but I have not paid for the car as it's a friend who said I could pay in due course. Do I have to let him break in as it's a rented property. What's he allowed to
take .. Would he take my daughters things? We don't have much as I have had to sell a lot off just to buy food and pay gas n electric. I have a couple bits of furniture which my mum has lent me as I have nearly nothing can he have them . Help please I'm terrified of tomorrow morning x

The OP has just PMed me about this matter. I have requested the name of their local police force to determine the correct HMCTS Area Enforcement Team. It would appear the OP may be classed as vulnerable and this Collectica bailiff's conduct demonstrates why no contract should be advertised or renewed for the collection of unpaid court fines and that the job should be done by HMCTS Warrant Officers. They are accountable and treat fine debtors as human beings, not cash cows to be milked.

When you realise that Collectica is owned by Serco, need I say more, Wales? I have PMed details for their local HMCTS Area Enforcement Team so they can be contacted regarding the OP's health which, from what they have alluded, appears to put them in the vulnerable category.

HMCTS Area Enforcement Teams are, on the whole, very helpful. If truth be told, the impression I gain from having spoken to HMCTS staff around the country, certainly at court level, is that there is a lot of disquiet and unease about the antics of private-sector bailiff companies collecting unpaid court fines on behalf of HMCTS.
