Re: Threatened with prison today.

Ring them again make sure that you have your phone recording the conversation. Get them to threaten you with prison again . The is no need to tell person on the other end that you are recording in this case as the recording is being done for the detection or prevention of crime . Oh and also check if any of the other conversation were recorded it'sjust possible that the shaved gorilla from serco was so arrogant here made threats on a recorded line .

What an absolutely wonderful description of Tinpot Tyrant Tuttle!

Re: Threatened with prison today.

I feel you need professional legal advice to deal with Thurrock Council and Tinpot Tyrant Tuttle, Tongie. Go to the National Pro Bono Centre website and also see if there is a Law Centre in your area.

Completely agree.

I agree, BUT I'd copy the complaint to the CEO of the council as well, clearly headed 'Formal Complaint'

Re: Threatened with prison today.

I've looked up my local councillors am a little worried as they are all either conservative or UKIP and so will, i think, be a little invested in backing serco up.

I would like to complain about Mr De La Fuente though as he was so clear that I will be arrested without any prior court case - which reading all your replies seems to be completely false. Does anyone have any idea how I might do this?


P.S thank you again for all these replies, I've really been at my wits end today imagining my entire career going down the toilet just because I couldn't get anyone to accept money from me.

You do a fantastic job here, thank you.

I don't know about that. I was wondering if his daddy M is a football referee and if there's a brother S, who drives using personalised number plates. The name's familiar.

Re: Threatened with prison today.

Completely agree.

Except for the last paragraph. The debtor should not prioritise debts at this stage. £120 per month is a very reasonable amount to offer. By not paying credit cards etc would incur additional interest, meaning further funds to be found by a person already struggling with debt. Do not volunteer to prioritise debts, wait for the council to insist. It is probable that the £120 will be accepted, especially given the reprehensible behaviour that Tuttle and the bailiffs have shown. There is no need to offer to pay more, to the detriment of other debts.

I would also take this opportunity to put a letter in writing to the bailiffs, copying the council in, asking for the following:

1. The date that any enforcement action against the debtor has incurred a fee
2. The reason for this fee
3. The amount of the fee

I would also check with the council on how many LO's in total have been obtained, the amount for each LO and the amount now outstanding. We can then look at the bailiffs charges in detail and check if anything has been charged for that shouldn't have been. If as I suspect, this debt dates back to pre-April 6th, theres at least a 50% chance of charges been added that shouldn't have been.
