wrighty_bekk Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 They won't let us set a repayment plan up or anything. Got until 4pm tomorrow to get money or they are bringing a locksmith to gain entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 not saying hide behind a settee..even worse is to agree to something they cant afford. if they say 'we will pay you next pay day' the bailiff will have to eventually accept that. they cant force way into home, close doors, windows, remove car from driveway. so they cant enforce debt. capiche? . Then the debt will just rise.. capiche yourself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 have really bad credit but both work so can't get one from credit union. If you both work then make an offer of repayment. Job done. It doesn't have to be paid in one single payment if you don't have the money. Don't let them enter your property. Further information here. They won't let us set a repayment plan up or anything. They're playing that game. The court would accept offer of repayment, so they should also. They're just being arseholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L00b Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Don't let them enter your property. Further information here. You may well be wrong. High court appointed. It's an unpaid fine that we didn't receive letters for due to moving. From council. The letter they left and also messages say that the will be bringing a locksmith to gain entry.

TJC1 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 You may well be wrong. Bailiffs are allowed to force their way into your home to collect unpaid criminal fines, Income Tax or Stamp Duty, but only as a last resort. its the criminal fines bit we are not yet clear on....

L00b Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Bailiffs are allowed to force their way into your home to collect unpaid criminal fines, Income Tax or Stamp Duty, but only as a last resort. its the criminal fines bit we are not yet clear on.... What we're also not clear on, is what actions (if any) the OP took to mitigate the problem before the bailiffs threatened to come back tomorrow with a locksmith. A bailiff visit is a last resort, ordinarily it follows one or two 'red letters' and maybe phone calls, bailiffs (Court-appointed or private) never turn up on the doorstep out of the blue.

wrighty_bekk Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 We have moved house twice since I received the fine so have not had any letters from them. Have explained this to the bailiff but apparently it has gone past the stage of being able to set up a repayment plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcomer01 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Not quite sure why better advice could not be given . Move the car,don`t let them in.Thats avoidance not advice. Do you have any friends or family that could help you out? Do you have anything of value that could be pawned? Have you tried the bank to see if they could allow you an overdraft facility. If you are unable to obtain the full amount ,but are able to get say 50% as a minimum.I am sure that they will enter into a payment plan . That way they only come the once.However you break any payment arrangement and they will be back and not only are your bridges burned.But they will not make another payment arrangement.

Bonaparte Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 What we're also not clear on, is what actions (if any) the OP took to mitigate the problem before the bailiffs threatened to come back tomorrow with a locksmith. HC Bailiff visit is a last resort, ordinarily it follows one or two 'red letters', suggesting that the OP has not proposed a payment plan yet. Jeez Louise, are you lot going to come up with the £550 big ones or are you just going to flap your gums and waste time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
