I paid my sons bailiff debt. He doesn't live at address

[Mum]

So. I got terrified by a nasty bailiff early this morning. presented me with a warant of control of property for my son who doesn't live at my address. The bailliff said he is registered with the courts here. He will be back with the police to seize cintrol of goods in my property and he will gain entry whether I am here or not and he is taking things today. I have 2 little boys here and a single parent, so i got scared and paid the debt to stop him coming back. Was he telling the truth? ALSO
Ive been advised by debt charity to get an affidavit sworn at a court or solicitor to state the goods in my house are my own so they cant do this to me again. Does anyone have any information regarding how to do this please?
Thsnkyou

Hi

I noticed you posted this on several sections. So could you confirm what the debt was in relation to?

If the debt is not yours then you had no legal obligation to pay and the bailiff acted unlawfully.

There is redress available to you and we can hopefully assist you in getting the redress.

If the debt was for a traffic debt then this information is of use:

If the debt was from a magistrates court (ie a fine) then there is information here:

If you can post up images of any documents left by the bailiff (cover personal details) I will endeavour to assist.

Yes I'm sorry about that. I wasn't sure how the site worked.. posted 3 by mistake. It was a hmcts debt for h being overweight in his work lorry a few years ago. I will post the warrant when I get it. My son has it with him atm.

OK no worries. So as its a Magistrates court fine then this advice is what you should follow:
