Please help me on Thursday I had a bailiff come to my door asking me for £310 for a outstanding debt of £10 to magistrates court for various fines, I went to court over a year ago and was asked to pay £10 per week the debt was about £1000 I agreed to this and presummed the fines ppl set up the Standing order only to find out 3 weeks later I was meant to when they threatened me with the bailiff so I apologised and the paid £25 per week untill it was paid off, not knowing when I had finished paying there was £10 outstanding. So the bailiff came to my door 1st I new about the debt I had a full blown panic attack right there in front of her in my garden so she said let's go tlk bout this inside (my 1st error) she stood in my kitchen the whole time she never levied anything ,I pleaded with her to not take my car or my stuff so eventually cuz my kids were getting distressed she said she will be back tuesday which is when I get my tax credits for the full ammount which I said I would pay she gave me a form to sign to say on tuesday if I don't have the cash she will come in with locksmith (2nd error) which I signed so she left. I spoke with the courts they would not take the £10 debt back I went the CAB they said there's nothing I can do except pay. I then spoke to my MP who faxed a letter to Swift credit (the bailiff) to say he is writing to the courts to find out why on eartht his has been passed to a bailiff and to hold off untill this is done which they refused to do! I did offer her £200 down and the rest in installments but she refused that now so she will come today and I only have £50 on me as I needed baby milk gas electric etc to last me a week till I get paid again, Just to say aswell I am a single mum to a 9 year old and a 5 month old on maternity leave. I'm scared when she comes back today, and I have hidden my car I don't no what to do. Thanks in advance sorry bout the rambling.
