bailiffs arriving in the morning

They cannot enter your home by force even if a police officer is there, they may try to fool the police into thinking that they can but then the police would be assisting breaking and entering and would be charged with that offence.
Park your car away from the house, lock all doors and windows, DO NOT let them in, whatever they say don't open the door and let them gain entry.
They have no legal right to enter your home.

Hi segromor

Hope you can post an update at some point so that we might be able to advise further.

Echoing the above advice - please don't let these bailiffs in if/when they turn up, and please keep any vehicles parked away from the property for now.

Good luck

thankyou so much for all your advice, i believe we have worked out a way to deal with the parking offence however the council tax worries us more, can we offer a minimum payment for that or is it obligatory to pay the full amount immidiately although this is impossible with our current financial circumstance!

segromor

how do the bailiffs know what vehcile we drive? we have changed since parking offence took place

segromor

can they break into my home due to a fpn or parking fine? My fiance is so worried about this ? I personally don't think they can break in unless it is a tax i.e council tax....please help in

If there is a court order police can attend and force entry but they must provide notice, they cannot just turn up and force entry and it is only for income tax, stamp duty and criminal fines. As long as you do not let them in (or leave the house unlocked) they can't enter for parking fines.

You need to get in contact with the council immediately, don't ask here: phone the council.

segromor

does the council have to accept a payment plan even though it has been passed on to bailiffs?

segromor

just want to know where i stand with the law on the offering payment to the council, i read somewhere that by law if i offer to pay the council direct that they cant refuse? Although unfortunately i cant pay the full amount at once

quidsy

you will only know once you phone the council & expalin the situation

If you dont' have the money they can't force you to pay it.

But posting the question here mutiple times will not help you in any way

This factsheet may help (or may be a bit late) regarding the parking fine bailiffs http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/factsheet.php?page=13_magistrates_court_fineshttp://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/factsheet.php?page=13_magistrates_court_fines

Hello there

In case the parking ticket is a 'penalty charge notice' - this fact sheet could also be useful: http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/factsheet.php?page=33_parking_penalties_in_the_county_court

The majority of councils use PCNs these days - as they would get the revenue, rather than it going to through the courts. Better still, bailiffs have fewer powers than Magistrates' Court bailiffs.

Best wishes,
