Staffs Council PCN FINE - Jacobs Removal 24 hour notice - already broken arrangement

[maxine989]

Hi there

 

I have a fine with Staffordshire county council which has escalated to £398 and now at the stage where bailiffs are due back tomorrow (with the addition of another £110). I had an agreement which I broke. I was paying weekly but fell behind.

 

I am guilty of burying my head in the sand. I have a few mental health issues and claim ESA at the moment. I have 4 kids and am a single mum. I sometimes get anxious about opening my mail and ignore and forget things. I know it's the wrong thing to do, but sometimes I can barely leave the house or get out of bed.

 

Just a few years ago I was working as a full time teacher. Everything has changed since my divorce and now my life is out of control.

 

I have called Jacobs and the council today and nothing can be done but for me to pay the full balance or he'll be back tomorrow. I offered to pay £50 today and rest in instalments, but the bailiff said the best he can do is 50% today and the rest in 10 days.

 

I'm sitting here feeling so anxious and worried. It's my son's 9th birthday in 2 days and christmas around the corner. What a mess!! I have no idea what to do next... I know he has no right of entry and so will ignore the door tomorrow, but then the 110 will be added and so on.... there seems no way out. Any advice will be much appreciated.

you say it is for a fine? Bailiffs have different powers of entry for matters handed down from criminal courts so you had better explain this a bit better or you may be following the wrong path

Hi there. It was originally a parking fine from Stafforshire county council.

so no explicit right of entry.

 

 

what exactly with regard to the titles of letters have you have before this removal Notice?

Have you at any time let the bailiff in,

 

 

as this in a PCN not a criminal fine as above they have no right of entry,

unless you let them in or they get in through an unlocked door,

 

 

as they say they are coming back and adding £110,

which would be a sales Fee,

 

 

Have you let them in previously and signed a Controlled Goods Agreement?

 

 

Even if you have they may well have listed exempt items that they cannot take.

 

 

If they have a list what did they list?
