Bailiffs MARSTON payment plan

PHEB1 · 13 September 2023 at 8:24PM

Hi All

I would appreciate some advice please. Its been a slow journey but am getting close to apply for Debt relief order

Just waiting for a few things to line up. Got a big shock a week ago.

Letter from bailiffs for parking ticket from 1 year ago. My old car was still registered to my old address so Letter was sent there until they went to court. Northampton county court fine. Now MARSTONS tsaid if I don’t pay £279 by 14th September, they will come to my house and an additional £250 will be added!

I called to explain that this is my first knowledge of this as the bailiffs has tracked me down to my new address.

Called the council who issued the ticket last year. They said submit a TE7 AND Te9 form ASAP.

I am trying to do that tonight but it won't be in time to stop these bailiffs attending and additional fines.

The bailiffs are MARSTON. They sent me a online portal to manage my file. I completed and submitted their very short income and expenses form. I offered £1 as payment plan and paid £1 online.

I Don't want to be disqualified from my DEBT RELIEF ORDER ( DRO) application because of preferential payment. I am already paying my other creditors £1 per month.

But this threat of additional fees and anxiety of bailiffs coming to my door if I miss tomorrow's deadline is making me ill.

It will Put me over £30,000 Dro limit.

I have been working with a small debt charity trying to write off debt but no success so I need the DRO.

I have battled severe anxiety and depression. This is making me so fearful. The Dro application won't go in until end of October after my my husband and I separate bank accounts.

THE debt advisor is away until Monday. I am out of time. Talking on the phone is very difficult for me due to anxiety. I asked MARSTON if I could email them. They said emails take 28 days to respond and enforcement agents would have attended My home by then!

.

They want my husband's income details. I can't have him involved in anyway. Its my debt. I gave them my income and my financial outgoings. They want to blackmail me to pay more which I can't afford. That will also affect my Dro.

I rent from council and have young kids with additional needs. I can't deal with bailiffs. Hope this all makes sense as you read.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. This is very difficult due to mental ill health.

THANK YOU
