    Sounds like Marstons have keyed in the wrong phone number.

    If you haven't had anything by post, then ignore.

    Edit: it's a complete scam.

    I'm calling scam.  If it were genuine you'd have received numerous letters before it got to the stage of instructing bailiffs.  And the grammar/spelling in that text you've quoted is highly unprofessional - always a sure sign of a scam.

    You can`t have a warrant of control for a liability order, bailiffs don`t act on liability orders, they are used by councils to recover unpaid council tax without the need to go to court.

    The phone number is bogus, and you must have 7 days written notice of bailiff attendance at your property to comply with the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.

    100% scam.

    Sounds like a scam. Bailiffs are only used well after a court case has found against you, even if it's council tax.

    Can you actually retype the content of the text?

    Do what fatbelly advises, and forward it to 7726.

    Then block the number.
