Marstons confusion....!!

Re: Marstons confusion....!!

Ok. So just come off the phone to main admin at Bournemouth Magistrates' Court: They've not had anything updated to their system as yet, but promised to call back within 24hrs & let me know anything regarding Stat Dec processing time. They weren't pleased to hear that I've still not had my work stuff returned in spite of my informing the bailiff that specific items were protected. They suggested I call Marstons directly to clarify the situation.

Called Marstons: They were distinctly unhelpful, until I dropped into the conversation "...I've heard about a complaint procedure called a Form 4. Could you tell me that, if my being unable to work due to you keeping my tools, & informing me that you have every right to take them & leave me only a selection of small hand tools, would be a fair reason to look further into the submitting of one...?". Without further ado, I was transferred to someone further up their hierarchy who has also promised to be back to me with further information before midday tomorrow.

Cheers. :-)

What I would do is find out which court granted Mr Pen y Pidyn from Marstons his certificate, and write a letter to the District Judge there regarding his pressure for you to pay in spite of a Stat Dec being sworn, and ask whether it could be kept on file to await his certificates renewal, or whether a Form 4 would be appropriate, bearing in mind the bailiff has actively prevented you from working by seizing and refusing to return essential specialist tools. If Marstons are monitoring this thread, it would be in their interest to tell their numpty to give the tools back like right now, as if the DJ on receipt of the letter thinks the bailiff has seriously overstepped the mark he may remove or revoke the certificate forthwith without a Form 4 this putting the bailiff on JSA

Bizzybob, as ever you are a fountain of food for thought & good advice. I'll await whatever phone calls come tomorrow,& if nothing is forthcoming, I'll have a session of finding out what certificate comes from where.

As always, I'll update as soon as anything develops & as always, many thanks. :-)

The main thing is to avoid a Form 4 unless the DJ asks you to submit one as a result of any letter you send to the certificating court.

Re: Marstons confusion....!!

Yeah, I've done googling on the subject. I didn't realise that it was such a heavyweight of a form complaint. Not something tobe taken lightly, but equally, I didn't tell Marstons I would be submitting one, just mentioned it in conversation. If I've heard nothing by tomorrow, I'll be finding out where the certificate was issued though, & firing off some letters.

Cheers.

Re: Marstons confusion....!!

send the bailiff a text and ask him when and where he was certificated you might not receive a reply but hopefully it could give him a few sleepless nights especially if he knows you mentioned a form 4 to Marston's

Re: Marstons confusion....!!

You should bear in mind there is an anomaly over Certificates for Bailiffs collecting on Court fines and that is the contract stipulates that a Bailiff doing such work must obtain a certificate within 6 months. It could be you have a new starter.

Ah, well I never knew that Plodderton. That's worth remembering before I open a whole can of worms!! Wonder if he is a newbie. Would possibly explain his somewhat Gung Ho telephone manner!

Wiccaqueen: One presumes you're the kind of person who likes putting fear into someone's mind?? I approve. ;-)

Cheers all.
