Marstons Bailiffs HMRC

[Cjones96]

Hello,

I’m looking for some advice for my partner. My partner got himself into some bother with the police in 2015 just after his mum passed away in a car accident and was told to pay court fines, he tried his best to pay but due to his grief and losing his home, he struggled to make payments to the courts. It then got passed over to debt collection agency Excel in 2017 and he started a payment plan with them, he got the payment down but he then unfortunately lost his job, he explained to them the circumstances and tried to make a new payment plan with them and they was having none of it. They sent bailiffs and then apparently a warrant of arrest was put out, we rang up to check and there wasn’t and we hadn’t heard anything since till now.

Marstons visited his nans address on the 23.10.18 ( she passed away in November 2017) we know this cause it’s residental care and a family friend visits someone who lives there and they informed us. My partner was only at the address for a few months in 2015 due to his mums passing as he was homeless.

This is where it gets confusing.

In 2017 Excel were sending out letters and a baliffs to the address he was living at the time with me in 2016-2018.

So why has Marstons gone to the address he was at in 2015. He’s not hiding as he’s on the council tax, electoral roll so it’s quite easy to find him.

We are now at new address due to the fact we have our baby girl due in about 5 weeks and we know it’s a matter of time till Marstons will catch up with him as all they need to do is search his name on the electoral roll, which I don’t understand they didn’t do in the first place.

The debt I believe is at £1000 and we have no way of paying, we are young working couple, trying to provide the best life for our baby, we don’t even have anything they can take. My mum bought our TV and couch for myself as a moving in present and there is literally nothing else of value.

I’m worrying now cause the last thing I need is to be home with a newborn to have some bully baliffs at the door chasing my partner who is at work trying to earn a living for us.

Any advice please?

He needs to do a change of circumstances.

Section 85 of the Magistrates' Court Act 1980 the law says the court may reduce the fine when you have had a change in financial circumstances. This now gives an opportunity to pay the fine directly to court thereby killing off the enforcement power permanently.

Download and complete a court Form MC100 and make a covering letter setting how your financial circumstances have changed he was fined. Quote, section 85 of the Magistrates Courts Act 1980. Email it all to the fines officer at the magistrates' court administrating the fine and notify the bailiff by text message.

Technically we haven’t heard of Marstons ourselves personally, we just know it won’t be long till they catch up with us as they have gone to a previous address, and we don’t even know where we are with the fine as it’s nearly been a year since we last heard of it. So regarding doing a change of circumstances, he should’ve done that last year. I want to find out what’s going on but I don’t want to drop him in it and to prevent them coming to our house as I’m due to have a baby and I don’t want the stress.

Do nothing until marston puts s phishing letter in your door. It's an unofficial tracing effort to see if it gets a reaction.

After 90 days marston must return the case to Court service if they cannot recover the debt.
