marstons visit for already paid? fine

[GrumpyToSayTheLeast]

(1) If you were totally unaware of this fine it is simple to deal with by means if a Statutory Declaration at Court

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly you can make a payment online for fines here https://www.gov.uk/pay-court-fine-online

 

 

 

 

 

Are you sure this is the same fine or one you did not know about if the later follow the advice above. (1)

 

 

 

 

 

Finally go/call the local Court to find out if this old fine is paid or not show them the statement showing the payment has been sent.

 

But its already covered on another thread that if payment is made online direct to the court, it doesn't get rid of the bailiff costs and they will still attend to collect those.

Like has been advised, act quickly.

Speak to the court and confirm if this has been paid. Ask them to check that this is the only fine you have or have you had a prior fine.

If you have to pay, pay it before the enforcement agent arrives as you will save £235.

The enforcement agents do have the power to force entry WITHOUT prior peaceful entry if they believe there are goods worth taking inside and they believe that you are inside and refusing to pay the matter.

Should you pay when they attend, you will have to pay the £70 + £75 + £235. If they use a locksmith, a further £110 will become payable.

Your best hope rests on the magistrates having made a mistake.
