What will the lease company do? Surely they will tell me I should have updated my address straight away and it's my fault that I never received the fines?

I havent no, will this make a difference to them if I do?

They received it on Monday morning, confirmed it was ok and sent it back to Ealing council. Yes I submitted the witness statement by e-mail. Yes the lease company keeps the logbook. It's a personal contract hire so I pay £200 a month for 3 years and then hand the car back without ever owning it. I called into Ealing council this morning and someone called me back this afternoon saying that I have two options. Leave the car clamped until the outcome of the appeal or pay up. I need the car tomorrow so I think I'm left with no option but to pay.

Thanks! I have e-mailed Ealing Council and told them that I have to have my car for work. Do they have to release the clamp? The bailiff is insistent that the clamp will not come off pending the outcome of the appeal. I have heard nothing from Ealing Council whatsoever. Thanks

Hello, Really need some help. Last Thursday I went outside to go to work and my car was clamped. Rang the bailiff and they have been chasing me at my old address for the last year. I moved address in November 2015 but didn't update my address with my lease company until January 2016. I never received any notification of the fines, if I did I would have paid them. Have got a few over the past year and always paid. There is two fines outstanding totalling £1104. The fines were all in December 2015 I have spoken to (TEC) and filed the statutory declaration and out of time declaration. I don't really know what to do from here or what happens as talking to the council is impossible and all the bailiff says is that the clamp stays on pending appeal. Is this correct? I really need my car for work and this is a nightmare. Can anyone give me some advice? Is there anything I can do to get the car de-clamped pending the appeal? Thanks
