Just reposted this from Chat - I didn't realise there was a seperate legal section - hope someone has some words of advice?

I've just got home to find a letter saying the Bailiffs were here, wanting to get into the house and remove my goods.
Apparently I have an outstanding Magistrates Court Fine, and by virtue of Schedule 4A of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, they can enter by force if I wilfully refuse blah blah blah, bringing locksmiths and the police.
confused
Leaving aside the odd name of the legislation quoted, I've had nothing from any Magistrate's court. I just 'phoned the number and the man said he couldn't access the details right now, but it was from April 2010 - keeping a vehicle without a valid licence.
Does that mean car tax? I've often been a bit late paying, but I've never not paid at all. From 3 years ago?
I'm a bit worried now, because he wants more money than I have - but has anyone else had anything similar - with this odd legislation and after such a long time? (I have a different car now, and couldn't remember for the life of me if I was late renewing the tax that year or not). Could the DVLA tell me what's in their records?
Any advice welcome!
