Appeal against tfl adjudication decission

[David Dykes]

Hi, this is my first time on any forum so here i go.

 

I drove into London not knowing what the sign you are entering a low emission zone incurred.

 

I was sent 20 penalty notices in two batches to which i appealed,

the county courts found in my favor and told me that they would take no further actions on the pnc's,

but informed me that the tfl might not agree and they did not.

 

TFL then sent me 20 copies of the original pnc's,

i called them to tell my van complied to the low emission zone

they asked me to send a picture of my vin plate which i did, that was in June of 2013.

 

I heard no more them i thought the matter over.

 

November 2013 i was sent 20 pnc's. to which i appealed they gave me four different dates for an adjudication hearing finally i got a date in August 2014.

 

At the hearing they told me that they had sent me a warning letter

i told them that i did not recived a warning letter,

they then told me that every one in the country had been sent a letter explaining

about the charge on entering the low emissinon zone in older vehicles.

 

The adjudicator then said that she agreeded that i might not had been sent a warning letter - but ignorance was no excuse

 

 

found in favor of TFL and

 

 

the fines would stand and gave me 14 days to find £5000.

 

 

I have not paid this is now up to £20,000 with the bailifs letters,

 

 

i got to admit i burried my head in the sand with this.

 

I just don't know which way to turn can you help?

 

Many thanks

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

The forum guys should be along over the course of the day with advice for you. I've also flagged your thread for the site team to see if anyone can help you. Please bear with us until people are able to get here.

 

My best, HB

Thank you Honeybee13 for letting me know someone might be out there, I'm just in a mess.

 

 

Thank you once again.

[Jamberson]

Perhaps this should be posted in the bailiff section.

What is a bailiffs forum and how will it help?

please excuse me for my lack knowledge this is all new to me.

You're posting on the bailiffs forum at CAG, David. I moved you here because you said bailiffs are involved and the guys here know what to do. I hope they'll post on your thread soon.

Do the 20 notices refer to a single day ?, I would of thought a single one would be sent, not 20.

 

You said a county court found in your favour, can you explain this ?

[Bailiff Advice]

Low Emission Zone tickets are extremely costly (as you have now discovered).

 

It is such a shame that you left these tickets to get to the stage where they have risen so much as TfL can be very reasonable indeed in tacking these PCN's.

 

If you could answer the queries raised by andydd above that would greatly assist. I am assuming that you filed witness statements and these were accepted and TfL re-issued the notices which you then appealed via PATAS and lost.

 

Can you outline what 'stage' bailiff enforcement is at. Have you received Notices of Enforcement and if so, what date are they dated and when must payment be made by?

 

Have you received a personal visit?

 

Do you still have the vehicle and if so....what is it's rough value?
