Hi

I today received a bailif removal notice with a copy of a warrent of execution for a parking ticket. It was from april last year and i do not have a car. However i do use a car club and it is entirely feasible i did indeed park in the road, but defo did not get a ticket. Anyway the amount due is for £202.

I wrote a letter to them telling them i dispute it and i will not allow them peacefull entry into my property as i live in a studio flat with my daughter so our front room is her bedroom. The amount they claim is £573 plus associated costs, how on earth is that reached when they only put 1 letter through the door....advise pleae

The warrant was printed out by the bailifs and in typically Newlyn style - a process which is unlawful.

 

Further it is the old style of warrant which was replaced by the MoJ in April 2011 (this one is dated December 2011 - a date itself which will almost certainly have been backdated) because the wording was declared unlawful.

 

This one is addressed to the respondent and not to an enforcement officer. That's why it was declared unlawful. People cannot enforce against themselves.

UPDATE

I got tired of all the crap letters and when a bailiff turned up 4 weeks ago I stormed out and confronted him......and I have to say he was a real noce but new bailiff. He showed me his sheet of ALLEGED previous appointments and also file notes of letters i had sent etc. In short it showed 3 agents unassigned and clear note stating mentally fragile...as i was some time ago due to a mental breakdown...I digress.

I have today received another demand from them this time addressed to the owner occupier WTF. More interestingly, I checked the bailiff register and the bailiff that has been visiting recently does not appear to be licenced. I have involved my MP. I have asked for a full breakdown of alleged times and dates, copies of all file paperwork concerning me but so far no response. You guys are great on here and appreciate your input.

Newlyn are a modern version of Hans Christian Anderson. They certainly write more fairy stories than ever he did.

They will tell you all sorts of stories about how they are coming in the morning with a van to remove your goods etc etc.

All this without having even levied! Heaven help anyone who has actually been levied-I assume they threaten to eat all your children

or something.

 

Lanesra please do not waste your time telling them not to come as that is part of their job. They will come since that is one way they get paid.

So if anyone does come, simply do not let them in. Don't even answer the door so they cannot then force their way in.

 

The quickest way to stop them coming is to contact the Council and tell them not only you do not own a car but you are also a vulnerable lady who has

recently had a mental breakdown and still in no state to deal with bailiffs. The council then should call off the bailiffs and sort matters out with you and

investigate whether you should have had a ticket at all or if a car from the Car Club was involved.
