Good Morning,
I hope you can help.
About 2 weeks ago I received a visit from a bailiff ( enforcement officer) over an unpaid magistrates fine.
I let the bailiff in as I was informed by the court that he was allowed to force entry. He looked around and stated that there was nothing of value only the TV and sky box, probably worth less £200 maximum. he left no controlled goods order or inventory.
I felt intimidated and bullied and agreed to pay the full amount by that Friday, a total of £603, this was impossible as I would not have been able to pay my rent, already at risk of eviction, or feed my 3 children.
I went to the CAB who referred me to the national debt line. they completed an income and expenditure form, which I immediately sent to Marstons.
I paid £100 as an initial payment and said I would pay £25 per week, I paid the first £25 last week on the day before I said I would pay it.. I had no further communication fro Marstos, either agreeing or disagreeing with my proposal
This morning the bailiff attended again, I did not answer the door but he posted a piece of paper through the door stating he would return after 7 pm to take control of goods. The amount outstanding has been reduced by the amount I have paid, so they are well aware that I have made payment.
What is the point if he has already said there is nothing of real value, is he likely to return and how do I deal with it.
Help please, I am worried sick.
