I was wondering if anyone knows if the Courts have any vested interest in instructing Bailiffs? My friend had a fine which she pays every month, however, at christmas she was taken very seriously ill, she was due to pay the fine on the 6th December but was in hospital so got her son to make the payment on the 8th, by the next month she was back to making payment on the 6th, but the following month she had a bailiff letter because the court routinely fires the warrants off to the bailiffs if you are even 1 day late paying! (she has been paying with no problems for the previous TWO YEARS so its not like she was a delinquent payer) it made me wonder why the court was so keen to fire it off to bailiff without even waiting a couple of days? are they on commission??
