Marston Holdings reaches out when you have an unpaid debt—often tied to a County Court Judgment (CCJ), council tax, parking fines, or utility arrears. They’re authorised by the court or creditor to recover this debt.

With legal authority, Marston Enforcement Agents can visit your home (after notice), seize non-essential belongings you own, and add enforcement fees—unless you act quickly or arrange payment.

If you invite them in, they can create a controlled goods agreement listing items to be seized or sold if you don’t pay. You’ll risk losing possessions and face added enforcement charges.

Marston acts for a wide range of clients—councils, government bodies, High Court Orders, and private organisations—recovering debts like council tax, parking fines, rent arrears, utility bills, and loan debts.

No. Ignoring their notices won’t make the problem go away—it can escalate to bailiff visits, enforced entry, and higher fees. It’s far safer to act early: seek advice, challenge the debt, or arrange repayments.

How To Contact
Marston Holdings

You may need to contact Marston Holdings to discuss an enforcement case, check the amount outstanding, make a payment or discuss your circumstances. Before paying anything, make sure the debt relates to you and that the contact is genuine.

Before You Call Marston Holdings

Have your Marston case reference ready. You can ask them to confirm:

  • What the debt relates to
  • Who instructed them
  • The original amount owed
  • The current balance, including any enforcement fees
  • The address and details connected to the case
  • The current stage of enforcement action

If you do not recognise the debt

If the debt is unfamiliar, has already been paid or appears to relate to somebody else, tell Marston as soon as possible. Ask them to confirm who instructed them and what evidence they need to investigate the issue. This could include proof of payment, identification or documents showing that you live at the address.

Before you agree to anything

If the debt is yours but you cannot pay the balance in full, discuss your circumstances with Marston before agreeing to a payment, work out what you can realistically afford after essential household costs and make sure any repayment arrangement is manageable. If an arrangement is accepted, ask for the details to be confirmed.

Credit Score

Credit Score Pop Up Wording : An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is a formal agreement with creditors to repay a portion of your debts over time, but it does have an impact on your credit score and it will be difficult to obtain further credit whilst on an IVA. Once an IVA is approved, it is recorded on your credit report and will typically remain there for six years from the date it starts.
However, it’s important to note this is the case for most debt solutions and your credit score will likely already have been affected by being in debt in the first place.
Once your IVA is complete you will get a fresh start to begin rebuilding your credit rating.

Fees

IVA costs are charged for the preparation of your proposal and the administration of the arrangement for the full term (usually 5 years) these costs are charged from the monthly contributions you make into the IVA and are not in addition. Costs will only be recovered on approval of your arrangement and once you commence making payments to it. The fees for preparation of the proposal to creditors and calling the meeting for creditors to vote on its approval are called nominees fees, the fees for running the arrangement once approved are called supervisors fees. There are also some expenses incurred in the running of the arrangement such as the registration fee and the statutory insurance that needs to be taken by law, these are called disbursements. For our arrangements, the total of all of these is £3,650 although this may be adjusted by creditors when they vote on whether to accept. No matter what the end total of costs come to, you can be rest assured that these will be taken from the monthly payment we agree with you.
