  1. Hi Billy, I'm in a very similar situation to you. About to send pe2 and pe3 forms but cant see an email address anywhere. You mentioned that you sent via email? Are you able to share it please?

      I sent the completed forms through to [email protected]

      Best of luck

  2. I no longer have any concerns relating to bailiffs. Nonetheless, I would have expected proper notification from Northampton as to the revised legal status, as per all (albeit very limited) information published regarding the process.
  3. In the 2 weeks since the last post, I've had nothing at all from Northampton so plan on contacting them tomorrow to confirm they have received the same information from Lambeth and case enforcement is cancelled officially. That said, Lambeth council have been in contact to inform me that, following the previous letter 'no contest' they have reset the PCN back to the initial stage, with discount, they have informed CDER that the matter is no longer with them and told me they informed Northampton (this was the initial letter I received from them referred to in my post above, July 13th). With that in mind, and pending confirmation from Northampton that the enforcement actions are now over, I am now minded to pay the pcn at discounted rate for the bus lane contravention. Just my opinion ...... The people I've spoken to at Lambeth council have been fair, engaging and helpful throughout our conversations and this process (opposite approach to the conversations with CDER). A very pleasant change from the various Local Government, DCA's and Bailiff organisations I've variously dealt with over the years on similar matters. In my view, a great example of how these matters could and should be approached.
  4. Further reading has found the following, "The Traffic Enforcement Centre will acknowledge receipt of your forms and will notify the council, Transport for London or Highways England (in the case of a Dart Charge) or Merseyflow that they must inform their relevant bailiff company to suspend enforcement for a few weeks while a decision is reached as to whether or not to accept your application and cancel the debt. As long as the forms are submitted to the Traffic Enforcement Centre by email before 4pm, all bailiff enforcement will be placed ‘on hold’ by midday the following working day" "You will receive a decision from the Traffic Enforcement Centre approx 4 weeks after submitting your forms. If accepted, the letter will advise you that the Order for Recovery has been revoked. You should receive a new Penalty Charge Notice from the council (or Dart Charge etc) a short while after. If refused, you will receive a letter from the Traffic Enforcement Centre advising that permission had not been granted to allow you to file your witness statement late (out of time)." All that said, today I received a letter from the Local Authority confirming they are NOT CONTESTING the Out of Time Statutory Declaration, nothing yet from the TEC. Hopefully this means that the process is reset and I receive the PCN at the discounted rate stage and say goodbye to CDER in this instance. I will continue to update the thread for completeness.
  5. To be clear, my vehicles (and other goods) are in publicly accessible areas. 'Forced entry' would not be necessary to gain access. So back to the question, does anyone know what the process is, in terms of communication points that should be expected, if any.
  6. I would have to hope i'm home in order to record them, and forced entry wouldn't be necessary to seize my goods / vehicles, hence my preference in understanding what the process actually is (or at least should be) to try and ensure everything is correctly followed.
  7. I submitted the PE2/PE3 by email on early last week, received automated response from TEC confirming receipt and that the process may take 6-8 weeks, particularly for the out of time application. I'm rather nervous that I've had nothing in terms of confirmation of a pause in the action. Does anyone know the process, particularly whether I should hear that the form is accepted for consideration (rather than just automated email response that email is received) as it is apparently only at this point CDER pause their actions. Also whether I will be informed as to the outcome, at least before CDER recommence enforcement action.
  8. Thanks DX et al. PE2/PE3 completed, scanned and returned (emailed) to Northampton for their consideration. As to the reasons, while I have no 'proof' I was genuinely surprised that my address wasn't updated when I moved house, I would usually do this as a matter of course, I updated my other vehicle and would usually do all together. This was all at the beginning of Covid (moved 1 week before the first lockdown) so things were a little crazy around then, I have no idea why or how this could have been missed otherwise.
  9. Hi CAG'ers, I've just received what looks like a standard letter from CDER group titled 'Notice of Enforcement' dated 12/06 giving me until the 26/06 to pay or have my goods seized. The enforcement relates to a bus lane offence that I was unaware of from late summer 2022, (driving a motorbike signs change so frequently in London it appears I may have been unaware i'd strayed into one which isn't accessible to mbikes, but still was to bikes) In checking the details on my v5 it seems I may not have updated my home address for that bike with dvla and hadn't been aware of any action to date. This Notice of Enforcement from CDER is the first document i've received. As this is a PCN, should I just settle up with CDER, both the 'debt' of £200+ plus 'compliance stage fee' of £75 or is there any advice on steps I should take to ensure the amount apparently due does not increase. (I'm currently unemployed and can ill afford this amount, let alone any increases). Any advice much appreciated.
  10. Agreed, fairly standard software. While there is no need to install software, there are ALWAYS traces left on the machines. These have been identified and preserved as evidence if needed later.
  11. Police are a low priority, only for reference really (as with Action Fraud), there is little they can do so it is pretty much logged and filed in these type of cases. I deal with similar cases fairly frequently, mainly for businesses, though from the technical recovery, prevention and forensics side, even at times direct dealings with perpetrators (ransomware keys). Cash recovery, and dealing with UK financial institutions for the same (in terms of protecting an individual and ensuring they are not out of pocket) is not my forte.
  12. They had promised that it was being invested into crypto currency, for her benefit. They would do the trading for her, and she would be guaranteed huge profits!! The loans to be taken out would be paid back in full within a couple of weeks from the profits. They had a short term access, using "screenleap" I believe, to control her device and to help her. She was hooked by an online ad featuring MrMusk/Tesla offering to help everyone to benefit from the crypto boom. Unfortunately she is very naive, particularly online. It has genuinely shocked her that there are really people out there that would do this kind of thing. She's definitely very fragile, though she describes her relationship with the account guy as 'he was like a son to me', he had been working the softly softly angle over 6-8 weeks building up trust before the big bucks. His attitude changed massively when he'd been found out and realised she had him on speaker, with us listening in. They still continued to phone her regularly afterwards, trying to catch her on her own. Tried to extract a lot more detailed PII in order to withdraw funds, but which are entirely unnecessary, and would leave her open to even more serious identity fraud. Fortunately it didn't get that far.
  13. Thanks for the doc, looks fairly straightforward, will have a read through and keep the thread updated. To clarify, she received the funds, then transferred the same to the Bullexo platform, again, under instruction. Similarly, I understand there was a confirmation call on at least one of the loans which she confirmed the information that had been given. Unfortunately her detailed memory is not great, even less so with all the stress of this hanging over her the last couple of months.
  14. Her cyber security, funds and wider banking are secured, all usual steps taken, and far more beyond. I am following dx advice and writing to lenders today, then looking at FOS/FCA, looking for appropriate wording and order of process at the moment.
  15. The lenders are all UK companies, Zopa (mentioned in first post), Creation Finance and Drafty. Unlikely any of these are directly linked to the scammers, more likely they are known to them as having lax lending processes. We do have the loan agreements, they are standard UK regulated companies, the paperwork is all broadly correct and legitimate. Quite the opposite, i've said she is definitely at a financial loss, to the tune of around £22k, the value of the loans she has taken out. There is no suggestion her device was hacked, she was persuaded to willingly give remote access to enable them to 'help'. I am very well versed in Cyber security techniques, and have ensured her devices are certainly secured against further access. There is no money to move. She has been well coached on how to handle future calls. "if these are UK companies, i suggest an immediate irresponsible lending complaint goes off to each UK company involved and to contact FOS/FCA etc etc." Thanks, we have had little joy from the lenders (not our problem guv). I will take a look at what the complaints process entails and work out the correct order to handle this.
