smilersarah Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Meaningless - they'll take possession and it'll be the real owner's job to prove they belong to them. Why would someone keep a tele in another person's house? The courts aren't that daft. In your context it'd be fraudulent anyway - and even more fruitless. Proper professional advice is needed. There's a lot of mindless flapping on this thread. Citizens Advice or National Debtline. https://www.nationaldebtline.org http://www.advicesheffield.org.uk i didnt say it was a final solution i said it would put them off for a little while!! and it does work i did it for someone who got in bother and said i had a charge over stuff for work done.

geared Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 No-one's mentioned Wonga yet, or Ocean finance, or any of those dodgy companies that advertise on the telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcomer01 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I cannot believe the amount of useless help and comments on here. Unless you can actually help this person ,I suggest that certain people should be quiet. The fact that circumstances have got this person where they are today and all that can be suggested is lock the doors and windows,move the car,take inventory of goods and ask someone to purger themselves.

Bonaparte Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 So have you 'received' that fine (and/or any correspondence, email, text <etc.> at least notifying you of a breach warranting a fine) or did you mean to say 'since the fine was issued'? Your best chance is to have dated proof of your circumstances (two house moves in the relevant period, dig up any paperwork with names/addresses/dates) and a payment proposal (a chunk of the £550 in cash or card, and some form of proposal for the balance based on evidence of your partner's earnings, e.g. last 2 or 3 payslips) ready at hand. That's if they accept that (I'm not certain that they are obliged to accept that). I suggest you check out what William S Burroughs had to say about people who have nothing to say Did he say bore everyone with lots of waffle without coming up with the actual readies. Did he say that L00b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Did he say bore everyone with lots of waffle without coming up with the actual readies. Did he say that L00b.No, my short trolling friend, he said that you'd come out flat, vapid and meaningless. Bang on the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of mindless flapping on this thread. Citizens Advice or National Debtline. https://www.nationaldebtline.org http://www.advicesheffield.org.uk Not necessarily true! Back in the days when I didn't have a brain!! an ex of mine got himself into a spot of bother before he moved in with me, the baliffs turned up one day saying he owed X amount and it needed to be paid by such a date.. When they came to collect (and he didn't have it!!) they wanted to take property! at which I told them all the property except the clothes on his back belonged to me (this was true) anyway I wouldn't let them enter my house and they didn't have a choice. They called the police and when they turned up and I explained to them they also told the baliffs they couldn't enter as it was my property which I owned and I wasn't the one owing the money. In the end he set up a payment plan with the courts for something ridiculous like £5 a week and paid it off.. But each case is different. I suggest you just let them in and take whatever to cover your debt and you and the GF start afresh and save for new equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not they can use force to get in depends on who the debt is owed to I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle-82 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Whether or not they can use force to get in depends on who the debt is owed to I think.. Yes I assume it must be. When they first arrived they did get rather aggressive and tried to intimidate me but I stood my ground.. It's bully tactics. However, people should pay their debts then they wont get the meat heads turning up at the door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
