I wonder if someone can help please. My husband had a court fine that I have kept from him as he has high blood pressure and does not take things like that well. Unfortunately I was unable to pay it in the stated time as we did not have the money. We then had a bailiff from Marstons attend who put a letter through the door stating the original amount, a court fee and bailiffs fees of £215 were due. The following week I had sufficient money to pay the fine and the court fee but not the bailiff so I paid the court directly. I now keep getting phone calls and messages from the bailiff saying that I owe the £215 still and he will tell my husband (the bailiff has my phone number from a previous encounter). This morning he has posted through a removal notice stating that unless we contact him goods will be removed and sold to cover the outstanding money (which is bailiff fees as nothing is owing to the courts). I asked him the other week for a breakdown of costs and was told the money is owing and a breakdown changes nothing.
So what I really need to know is are the bailiffs fees enforceable and if so are they able to take goods or would they have to go to court separately for their debt?
Many thanks in advance
