Bailiff charges

[hunter78]

Hi the bailiff clamped my car between the hrs of 2am-6am. he never knocked on our door to give us a chance to pay or nathing. someone was awake during these hours. the original fine was £185 and i have ended up paying £788(roughly). i was tld i can claim the majority of it back. can someone please advise. i don't know whether the bailiff actually attended and knocked on the door 3 times as he claims as there was no letter left. the only letter i had was the one that was stuck to the car when he clamped it.

i don't know how to go about claiming the rest back. please help.

You have a fair amount to do.

Which bailiff company?

Send me a PM ONLY with the name of the bailiff.

Telephone TEC on 08457 045 007 and ask them to confirm the address on the Warrant of Execution and the date the warrant was authorised. Can you post the date here.

Which local authority?

Did you receive the PCN and ALL of the statutory notices?

Finally, did the bailiff provide a breakdown of fee?

the bailiff never provided me with anything. he sendt his colleague around to remove the clamp and collect the payment after which i was given a receipt. on the phone the bailiff said i can claim alot of the charges back. i wrote to newlyn and asked for a Subject Access Request and have got that now. they also sent me a copy of the bailiff's general certificate. the date at which it was authorised by the court was 31/07/2006 and the council debt date on the Subject Access Request is 19/07/07. it is for the Harrow Borough Council.

i never recieved any letters from the bailiff before, and there is always someone at my parents home to open the door.
