Hi sorry for my delayed reply. It is merton council bailiff services. The letter was hand delivered I'm assuming as that's what was stated on it but I was home all day and didn't actually hear anyone knocking. I have been trying to get the money together but have been unable to. I will call them and tell then the car is on finance and try and work something out but I have a feeling this wont go in my favour.

Hi, I'm looking for some help. I have an outstanding parking ticket notice from October last year. I didn't have the money to pay so stuck my head in the sand and ignored it. Got a letter through saying a bailiff had been to my house and that I needed to pay by the next day or would take my goods. Rang the bailiff and said I don't have the money to pay it can you give me a week to find it which he did. After reading through lots of things im thinking I shouldn't of done this. the original charge is £200 but the bailiff has now added charges of £300 and wants £500 from me by Tuesday. Can I refuse to pay those charges as they are excessive? How would I go about doing this? Should I pay the ticket charge straight to the council? And finally im afraid they will take my car the car is in my name but is on finance which is in my mums name are they legally allowed to take it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
