My son's car had a parking fine in Newark, however his brother was driving at the time, and there followed a dispute between them and eventually it went to Northampton court and an Equita bailif arrived one morning threatening to tow his car away unless the fee was paid.
It was their own fault, but my son relies on his car to get to work - 15 miles away,night shifts with no bus service. I ended up paying on credit card, but the fee was excessive.
The total amount owing was £112.04
The total the bailiff demanded was £421.84 = £309.80 in bailiff fees - with no breakdown provided.
The back of the Equita form is a breakdown of fees chargeable - typical gobledegook, but what I can extract is that the £309.80 is way OTT
