Marstons Bailiffs

Thought it would be easier to post my letter to Marstons today-
I was at home with my 4 month old son when someone knocked on the door. When I answered it was A SEEAR from Marstons Bailiffs. He asked for Mr ****, who was at work. I told him this. He then said that as a child was present he had to turn off his recording device.
As I was holding my son, I turned around to put him in his swing, turned back and A SEEAR was standing in my front room. I HADN’T given him permission to enter my property. I told him I wasn’t happy having him in my house, especially with my son present, who was now crying. A SEEAR went outside the property after me asking him several times, but kept his foot in the door, continually pushing the door open so I had to hold it shut.
I felt so threatened that I said I was going to call the police, at which point A SEEAR said “You can call them they won’t do anything”.
I tried calling Mr ****, but as he was at work he couldn’t answer straight away. At this point A SEEAR said “I’ve tried 3 times now Laura so I’m coming in to take your goods.” I explained that the house is not Mr ****s, and that all belongings in the property belong to me.
I finally got Mr **** on the phone, and A SEEAR was speaking to him and refusing to leave me alone unless he got full payment of £830.00.
The intimidation and stress this was causing me was too much and I ended up having a panic attack. I was physically threatened by A SEEAR which was obviously causing me distress.
It was only when I advised A SEEAR that my father was on his way that he walked off, and took full payment from Mr ****.
A receipt was put through the door, along with the wrong address noted on the front.
I have sought legal advice regarding this incident and am aware that A SEEAR broke several laws today. Not only has he left both me and my son in distress, he has physically and verbally threatened me.
Further to my panic attack I have now seen my doctor who has advised that I need to take some medication to help me with the anxiety A SEEAR has caused me.
I have also put a complaint in with Bedfordshire Police regarding the conduct of A SEEAR today.
Having to pay out £830.00 today has now meant that we are unable to purchase food and essentials for our newborn baby.
Does this look ok? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
