Bailiff Trying to Collect for Expired PCN Warrant??

Hello, just after a little advice and clarification.

I have received a letter and a visit from a bailiffs today, trying to collect for an unpaid PCN. By their first letter the warrant was issued on 14/03/2013 by Northampton County Court. The first letter was sent on 10/04/2014. Am I right in thinking that after 12 months the warrant has expired and they shouldn't be sending me letters or knocking on my door?

Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks :)

    I would advise posting this on https://www.pepipoo.com as well for their opinion. They will probably advise on going to bailiffadviceonline with this, it costs a small fee but could be worth it. Also CAG has good advice on bailiffs I believe.
