Enforcement Agent Letter Saying Bailiffs are Coming

Half_way

if you are looking at a set aside, do not pay the original ccj off, even if you pay a ccj it remains, wrecking your credit record for 6 years.
Pay to get a set aside, win and recover your costs.

is this matter related to any of the other 8 threads you have started? It's clear the posters here, who are trying to help you, are confused as to what the background to this case is.

It's very difficult to help someone who starts a new thread every time there's a development in their case as the background info the posters need is scattered about all over the place on different threads.

This morning i've woken up, a week before the hearing will take place, to a letter from dcbl certified bailiffs and high court enforcement agents. It says that I owe money to Horizon and they have added £200 for sending a letter rising to £1000 of there own costs if they send bailiffs if i dont pay the money by next week.

What you have received is a Notice of Enforcement from DCBL Ltd. A statutory Compliance Fee of £90 has been added and as long as the debt and compliance fee is paid before the 'compliance' period ends (which is stated as being 4th July) the matter will be concluded.

Clearly, the parking company have passed this judgment to DCBL as High Court Enforcement Agents and what is really troubling about this is that their fees are extraordinarily steep indeed (see below):

With High Court enforced debts, a payment arrangement can only be set up by a High Court Enforcement agent making a personal visit to your property. This visit will incur a fee of £190 and if a second visit is required, a standard fee of £495 being chargeable.

You have your 'set aside' hearing on 27th June and you really do need to get this agreed.

Good luck with the hearing and please do post back to update us on the outcome.

Cottom888, to reiterate:

Are you ready for that hearing? Please tell us you are. Also take along the letters they have been sending to show the Judge.

YOU MUST ATTEND, IF 27TH JUNE IS A SET ASIDE HEARING.

I got the dates wrong, the set aside hearing is on the 3rd July.

For clarity on the issue...

There was a court summons letter sent from Gladstones on behalf of Horizon Parking, there were 3 parking tickets into one single large fine. I filed my defence and sent it off in a roadside letterbox, about a month later i got a notice saying that i never filed my defence and there was a default judgement against me.

This was back in April time, I sent off for N244 and paid the £250.

The statement i made on the form was that i applied to set aside withing 3 days of being made aware, i did reply on xx date in xx postbox, at xx time within the 14 day period, i believe i will win the case if it was heard, claimant is a serial issuer of robo claims, claimant has no claim to the land, the signs are illegible, no mention of charges rising to what they claim within the specified timeframe, poorly distributed and lit signs and the wording is sporadic and misleading, and i can call on several similar cases that judgement went against the parking company.

I got a letter a few weeks ago saying that my hearing is on the 3rd July, next Monday.
On saturday the 24th June i got a letter from DTBL which i put in this thread above, stating that they require full payment plus there initial £200 administration fees now by the 4th July, the day after the hearing.

So now i am thinking that if i lose this hearing, i have to pay an extra £200 because Horizon hired bailiffs stating that i havent paid the CCJ, despite me not paying because they have a hearing for the case to be set aside.

What do i need to take to my set aside hearing, what will be discussed, how will the hearing proceed? literally never been in this position before and the costs are piling up and i can't afford this!

Those links explain the process of appealing a judgement which i already know about,

What i was asking is;

1) why am i recieving bailiff letters saying they have added 200 already to the debt and are adding a further 800 to come round my house if i dont pay by the 4th July, when i applied for the set aside judgement in April and the hearing is the 3rd July. Will i have to pay bailiff fees to now if i lose, despite me not paying because i applied for a set aside?

2) you get a ccj next to your name if you dont pay within 28 days, i appealed the day i recieved judgement, so now that i havent paid because i have a hearing for a set aside, i will still have a CCJ next to my name?

3) what evidence do i need to take to court and how will the hearing plan out?

Bump, any answers to question above please?

Seemingly the debtor has elevated the case to the High Court and there is now a live writ that DCBL have been tasked with enforcing. A application to set aside the original judgment is just that an application and doesn't stop enfocement proceedings.

I'd suggest if you are unsuccessful in your set aside application on the 3rd then you make immediate (same day) payment to avoid additional costs.

I thought high court "bailiffs" only got involved if the figure ((court owed) was greater than £600 , I cannot see those photobucket links as I use an ad blocker
