Battling with Marstons

[new-me2010]

I use my sons car occasionally and managed to get a parking ticket, actually had a couple and got them quashed, and am paying one off at £1 per week to the City Council.

 

Where I parked has a reputation for tickets to go missing, and thats what happened.

 

At the end of the financial year the council in their wisdom send them to northampton and i didn't receive paperwork or son didn't or he misplaced it so it went to Marstons.

 

I acknowledged it was mine and sent them the letter from my son to allow them to talk with me and a copy of my benefit letter, and they have taken no notice of my benefit letter at all.

 

We've been playing email ping-pong

 

Now they're not taking any notice that it mine and going after him again when I sent them an email stating my payment offer of £1 week as the other I am doing.

 

How should I proceed.

 

I feel like doing a full blown complaint

If it's his car, it's his debt - and he needs to deal with it. I hate to tell you, but if he received the notices telling him to pay, and didn't respond to them, he's unlikely to be able to do anything about it. But it's his debt, not yours - he should come here for advice.

How can it be his debt? I was using the car

[Jamberson]

Because the person liable for the PCN is the owner. His name was on all the documents, right? He has to deal with it.

 

If your name was on the documents, that's different, but as you told the story above, it's his car - so he is going to be liable. The bailiffs, if they come, will be looking for him, not you.
