A MOTHER-of-seven being evicted from her home of nine years says she has done nothing wrong.

Felicia Marcel has been ordered to leave her house in Ostell Crescent after landlords L&Q got an eviction order from Snaresbrook Crown Court.

The housing association, backed by Enfield Council, says the family is responsible for serious antisocial behaviour, terrorising neighbours and breaking into empty homes, and has labelled this one of the worst cases it has dealt with.

But Mrs Marcel, 47, who was given a 14-month jail sentence in 2010 for grievous bodily harm, says she is being penalised because one of her sons has “gone rogue”, and claims the eviction is unjustified.

She said: “I think I've been treated disgustingly.

“Fair enough, my son is doing what he is doing, but he doesn't live with me. I've kicked him out and put him on the streets but still they are coming after me.”

Mrs Marcel, who lives in the house with two of her sons and her nine-year-old daughter, was given until 8am this morning to leave, when bailiffs arrived with police officers to board-up the house.

Her son Quaid, 20, said: “My brother has moved on, he hasn't lived here for months. The police know this, the courts know this.

“But they are getting kicks off this – sat out there laughing.”

L&Q defended its action, saying in a statement: “We don’t like to see anyone lose their home, but this was such an extreme case that we had to take the strongest possible action in order to protect other L&Q residents and people in the wider community.

“Efforts were made to work with the family and try to stop the crime and anti-social behaviour, but the problems continued.”

It said the family's tenancy agreement had been breached, and the council added: “We fully support L&Q's eviction of this family who have caused so much criminality in the borough and beyond.”

Tearful family members have piled their possessions up outside the detached house and are planning to put it into storage until they have found a new home.

Neighbour Marlana Young, 34, was among the crowd helping Mrs Marcel. She said: “I just think this is absolutely disgusting. This is a good woman and this is so wrong.”

L&Q said the Marcel family had shunned attempts to solve the problems - a claim hotly disputed by Mrs Marcel who says she attended every meeting and was always co-operative.

The council has a legal duty to ensure the nine-year-old is housed, but does not have to find a home for the rest of the family.
