Yes I received the first 2 notices from the authorities it is the bailiffs notice of enforcement that I never recieved. I was having money troubles and was paying off other debts, kind of burried my head in the sand on this particular one. I attempted to pay the debt online midway through last month, before the bailiff even visited but the website would not accept payment. The car that is currently clamped has never belonged to me but I have been lent it to get to customers houses to work. Do I have any grounds to pursue for loss of earnings as I have not been able to work. I live 8 miles from nearest town and no buses etc.

Hi all any advice gratefully received. I have an unpaid pcn being enforced by Marstons, one of their agents came to my home on Thursday 26th May. He is demanding £475 which I cannot pay, he clamped a car which he saw me driving, that belongs to my house mate. The car has been very informally lent to me because I am self employed and my van has broken down. I need this car for my work so it should be exempt from control. I phoned the bailiff on Friday morning to inform him of this, it is still clamped today, the bailiff said he might be able to come this Friday to unclamp it. I get the impression that he is trying to use the clamp in a punative capacity. This visit was the first contact I have had with Marstons as I have not received a notice of enforcement. The clamp is currently costing me £120 per day as I have no work transport whilst car is clamped. The bailiff has stated over the phone he intends to return to take control of another more valuable car which is at the same address. This car used to belong to me but I sold it on the 20th May to house mate to clear unpaid rent, so again is not my property. I really don t know how to handle this situation my loss of earnings are more than the agent is demanding and I am now falling behind on other things as I cannot work.
