Hi
Marston Group have been hounding me for the last 4-5 months for what they claim to be an outstanding Dartcharge penalty notice (which originated 12 months before). I have advised them numerous times that Dartcharge have rescinded the charge as the mistake was theirs & I HAD paid the crossing fee.
Marston Group have attempted to send bailiffs round - I've never seen them (I live away from home) but have received VERY threatening hand delivered notes (to remove goods to the value of the debt, over Christmas – good luck, I wasn’t there but it did scare me).
I’ve never received anything from court advising any court action or request to attend – I’ve only had Marston Group advise me it’s been to court, but no information where or when. - How could they have gone to court when there is no outstanding penalty notice?
I have sent Marston Group proof the penalty notice was withdrawn and have advised them to contact Dartcharge if they do not believe me. They are still insisting that I pay them what is owing - currently standing at nearly £500. I have also advised them too that their continued hounding constitutes as harassment, a criminal offence under Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1190 and section 2 of the protection from Harassment Act 1997. (as per CAB website)
Surely, if the crossing was paid and Dartcharge have rescinded the penalty notice (& I have proof), I should not have to pay Marston Group anything?
Advice please?
