Hello, i was wondering if you could give me some vey much needed advice.
I broke up with my wife of 20 years in January 19th 2016 and was homeless for a while but i have since moved into a housing association property as the council couldn't help me due to the fact that both my wife and i currently have a mortgage on an ex - x council property that she and my children live in.
Im currently unemployed and in receipt of contribution based JSA ( i couldn't get Universal Credit as i own a property).
So about a month ago my x-wife got a knock on the door from a marstons enforcement agent and handed her a final notice and told her that she would be back later with a van and a locksmith to remove goods from her home.
I currently have 4 speeding fines with different Courts 3 of which i managed to sort out by getting them all transferred to one court so i only had 1 monthly/weekly payment to make and im making payments on them via AOE on my benefits.
The one i wasnt able to sort out was this one that marstons is now chasing for. However i know about the fine but didnt know they was coming ( judging by what ive read they should of sent me a letter).
My wife contacted me within the hour of marstons turning up andi rang her and explained that i didnt live there and she cant just take stuff from a property that doesnt belong to me. She went on a bitof a rage and said the notice has been served on the property and she will be returning later that day to remove goods. However she never turned up. So i rang her the day after and pleaded with her not to go to the house and remove my ex-wife's and my childerens belongings.
Her response was I can see your trying to get it sorted so give me a minute and ill ring my manager and call you back, which she did. She said she would give me 8 weeks to get the £1121 to which i said i would try ( this was all on the phone a mobile)
I told my wife to do a statuary deceleration stating that none of the belongings in the house belong to me and to state the fact that i do not live there and put my address on it as i want to pay the fine but cant afford the full amount. She did this and had it sign by a solicitor. I then told her to email the court with all my info and the stat dec ( photocopies ofmy tenancy agreement and untility bills in myname at this property ) i also told her to send the same to marstons.
Neither of which have responded to her emails.
I rang marstons head office and told them the situation and they said to take it up with the agent as there is nothing they can do.
I have until the 27th of may to pay it all or the bailiff said she will return to my ex-wifes house and remove goods and will have a locksmith. I have managed to save £300 up until now but thats coming from my benifit , im using food banks to eat and i really dont know what i cn do. Im trying my best to get work but even that isnt going anywhere.
Could you advise me on any possibilities
Kindest regards
