I am desperate for help. I will report this post when I finish it because I want MN to post the usual message and so hopefully people understand it is advice I am seeking, not any sort of financial assistance.
My young adult son has ASD and is high functioning but vulnerable and very naive - like a younger boy in many ways. He drove through the dartford tunnel around a year ago. He did not know it was chargeable (we aren’t local to the area and I’ve never been.)
I got a phone call from a neighbour at a flat we let to say there had been a visit from a bailiff - it transpires DS put this as his address on his driving licence; he passed his test at 18 and thought it made him ‘cool’ having ‘his’ flat. That’s what he said anyway. Hence the letters about it have not come home and we were unaware of this.
I had to pay nearly £600 in bailiffs costs and obviously I was horrified, but thought it was a one off and so put it down to one bad experience.
However there have now been three of the things and there is another - I emailed the company and was told to call them urgently on Friday and then when I was at work I was getting phone calls from an unknown number, one after the other after the other.
It’s utterly horrendous. By now they have had nearly three thousand pounds from me.
I just desperately need to know my rights here. They say they can change the locks at the address DS put down even though there are now tenants there - I don’t know if this is the case. I’m actually terrified.
Thank you.
