  1. I need a car for work, so my employer will sort me out another, but not as a company car. So I will need to insure a different car.
  2. Just a Sunday morning debate! The point is that the EA could leave the car on the road outside my house indefinitely. There must or should be some procedure for removing responsibility from me.
  3. Transferring the keeper would have no effect on the EA, he has taken control and clamped. This is just about responsibility for insurance. For arguments sake, lets say the EA turns up with a tow truck tomorrow and moves the car to some location that I am not aware of, and leaves it parked on the highway. Say outside an auctioneers. The car has gone, and I therefore cancel the insurance. The police then discover the car parked on the highway. Am I then still liable?
  4. I would think there is nothing to stop me transferring "Registered Keeper" to a motor dealer (friend). Not to try to remove control, or change ownership. Just to comply with continuous insurance legislation. Motor traders - exceptions If a vehicle is between registered keepers or registered as ‘in trade’ with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), it is excluded from continuous insurance enforcement.
  5. Just had a quick look at the Act. Am I reading this right. Can an EA now force entry? Entry without warrant 14(1)An enforcement agent may enter relevant premises to search for and take control of goods. (2)Where there are different relevant premises this paragraph authorises entry to each of them. (3)This paragraph authorises repeated entry to the same premises, subject to any restriction in regulations. (4)If the enforcement agent is acting under section 72(1) (CRAR), the only relevant premises are the demised premises. (5)
  6. It's not a PCN as far as I remember. Issued by Northampton County Court. Just a pay and display car park. Not yellow lines etc.
  7. I certainly can't drive the car. So if I cancel the insurance, an offence of keeping a vehicle on the highway without insurance would presumably apply. Would I be able to argue that I was unable to take it of the highway, as I had no control of the car?
  8. Off topic, but there are 433 councils in the UK. With figures for liability orders being quickly googled, it would appear that upward of 10,000 are not uncommon. I would reckon that at least 4,000,000 UK households are now experiencing difficulty paying council tax. If 10% have gone to the bailiffs, 400,000 people are under the cosh to these bandits. Somethings got to give sooner or later. The interesting part, I think, is that most of the one's that have gone to the bailiffs will not be "won't pay" but will be "can't pay". So a very peculiar business model for companies that are only paid on collection of cash.
  9. I have not and will not allow them entry to my home. Even if I did, there is nothing of value to seize.
  10. Tried to seize it? Incidentally my daughter is at home visiting at the moment, and she has a hire car!
  11. Parked in a council car park Dec last year. Forgot the pay and display. £25 ticket. I'm just bloody minded. The change of legislation re EA charges took me by surprise! However the EA are Jacobs. I have complained to Jacobs and Newcastle City Council regarding his breach of the National Standards, Re section 20: Falsely implying etc. I am vaguely aware about the goods having to be of sufficient value to cover the debt. I would be grateful if someone would help bring me up to speed on this. Many thanks.
  12. The amount they are claiming is aprox £386. The car is a 2001 Vectra. The EA tried very hard to get me to hand over the keys and log book. He even tried to tell me that I was commiting an offence, and he would be back with the police to force entry into my house. But thats a seperate matter.
  13. If I cancel the insurance and report a vehicle being on the highway uninsured? It may well come to that. I need to buy another car to get me to work etc, I am not going to insure two cars.
  14. When a car is clamped and control of the goods has been effected. Who owns or is responsible for the vehicle? I have just had my car clamped for non payment of a parking ticket. My fault I know. The car is worth much less than the amount I owe, and I don't mind them taking it. It is now on a public highway. If I can't use the car, and they don't at this stage seem interested in taking it to auction. Why should I keep it insured?
  15. This site has become so comprehensive that I can't find what I am looking for! I have read Bankfodder's posts regarding BCOBS, but I can't find any reference to anyone trying to reclaim overdraft fees. Has anyone yet tried? Any successes? Am I looking in the wrong place? Regards.
  16. How interesting. Their solicitors have written and given me a hearing date!
