  1. Sthis is a question for a friend of mine, let's call them Mrs K. They purchased a new car, the address was incorrectly relayed to the DVLA by the seller, no correspondence was ever sent to the correct address. No big deal. Mrs K drove in a bus lane, and was therefore subject to a PCN. However, all documentation went to the incorrect address, right up to enforcement, and bailiff letters. At no point did anybody reply to the council (Barnet) and I daresay nobody tried to find out the right details. A bailiff from Marston happened to be in the area looking for cars with outstanding warrants, found the car, followed them home, and immediately clamped the car with a £520 release fee. So questions are - - Should Barnet have made more of an effort to find out that Mrs K didnt live at that address? - Does the fact the Bailiff had not sent any correspondence to the correct person mean anything? - What, if anything, can Mrs K do to recoup that money? Thank you! Jude
  2. Pretty sure it was within the year, so guess they don't need to resend anything? Seems bizarre when the previous notice was easily 6 months ago.
  3. Cheers, so I need to find out what Marston have claimed to send to me. Will do and revert. If they had sent something back before it went to appeal ( i don't recall seeing anything) would they be able to just pick up from where they left off? Without further letters?
  4. Thanks for the somewhat cursory response! I certainly have had my fair share of run ins, but that's because I challenge everything, and not just simply sit there and pay, unless necessary. In the course of my job I receive a lot of tickets - and inevitably there are those that get left behind. In the case I'm talking about, I sent an appeal which was not received, and I received nothing back from the council. Hence it going to enforcement, whilst I was appealing. That is sort of irrelevant though. That's pretty much it - I haven't moved, car is still in my name - the question is simply, do the council or bailiff have to send me any correspondence before clearly just turning up out of the blue, once TEC have dismissed my appeal. I couldnt find the answer in the threads. Thanks PS - I have also received over £4000 in compensation from bailiff companies for procedural irregularities, or downright lies...
  5. Hi - wonder if anybody can help me please! I had an appeal at TEC in Northampton about a ticket that I was fighting, it went against me (it happens!) - and the letter from the courts said it would therefore just continue as previously. This morning a Bailiff turns up at my house, I wasn't in, very threatening towards my wife, who had 3 small kids with her - big burly guy, talking about police coming and entering the property, real bullying tactics from Marston. I'd expect nothing less. My question - I really can't recall if prior to my appeal the ticket had gone to enforcement stage or not, but is there not a duty for somebody to send me a letter first to say the matter is back with the bailiff? The tribunal decision was February, and I had nothing since, apart from this visit. Secondly - once my wife had said I wasn't in, and my car is registered in my name, do they have any right to even speak to my wife or appear threatening? Thank you! JC
  6. I know - but it's the downright lying that gets me. I've paid part of the first fine, it's now been put on hold as TEC have got involved - but for them to say this and not give me proof somebody has been to my property is just wrong. I think I'll go down the small claims court, as this has really stressed me out - it's causing me a lot of grief.
  7. Ok, so a quick update - turns out TEC had missed one of the documents I put through, which it was it wasn't actioned. Either way, I continued with the access request, as I did not receive any letter through the door confirming a visit. I've now received the following back from Marston - which doesn't surprise me, but seriously, what now?! I want footage proving he actually came to my house, and put a letter through my door, or at least knocked. This is downright ridiculous.

  8. The TEC cancelled it - but that was last Wednesday, it clearly hadn't got to the council yet. And of course Marston won't reason with you at all. And when they clamp the car and I need to get to work, not much choice I have! I'm awaiting video evidence, the reply from TEC and the council, and then will confirm my next steps. Everybody in the council is still working from home all over the country (the parking team are in Scotland!) so tricky to speak to somebody who has any influence. But I dont give up. First thing is video evidence, and if he didn't actually come to my house and got me all stressed for nothing...well...
  9. I can't wait for the video evidence. It's amazing how many visits they claim to make without leaving evidence. I guarantee it will be obscured or something. If they haven't visited, or can't prove it, it's straight to the small claims court for fraud.
  10. No - I didnt? I didn't pay it. It's been on hold and fighting with the council over lack of responses - went to Marston, filed with TEC, Marston came today, clamped the car, said a visit had happened on Monday!
  11. Sorry - fresh visit on Bank Holiday, resulting in the (correct) additional £235 fees. But no evidence of that visit. Car clamped this morning, no extra fees for the clamp. But as I said, fighting the whole thing as it seems TEC didnt get the message back to the Council. My beef is with a visit on bank holiday, and charging fees for that. (and then nothing left at the visit)
  12. Not anymore, car got clamped this morning, so had to pay it all. I'd been fighting this, it went to TEC, cancelled, but doesnt look like the council updated Marston in time. Plus - a supposed visit happened on Monday bank holiday, for which I've asked for video evidence. Either way, it's now a case of clawing it all back through the courts if necessary, which i've had to do previously.
