Yes until the enforcement stage I have no grounds of appeal I don't think. It was my own fault my aunt died I was in a mess I ignored it I didn't have any money etcetcetc. I am amazed at just how much these people can pursue you for in relation to the original offence. It is horrifying.

I am currently in dispute with them re that. The letter arrived with me well after the date of posting. I have written to both them and the council. I made the £5 per week arrangement so the thieving toads wouldn't talk my car I need that to get to the two jobs I have in order to pay money to bailiffs that they arent legally entitled to I have also written to my MP the fine issuing councils MP and Eric Pickles

What are you payingfor? Parking Ticket How long have you been paying for? A few weeks How much was the original debt as confirmed by whoever you owe? £75 (I think) Do you know what charges have been made by B&S? Compliance stage £75 Enforcement stage £235 Current balance £225

**UPDATE** I have spoken to BS (I rang them I got fed up of waiting for a reply). They girl at the call centre said that was fine and my arrangement had been brought back up to date. As an NB she also said that my payment went through at 7.30am this morning.... I paid at 2.30am so will all payments go through at 7.30 for the start of the banking day? In which case would it have flagged that my payment was late? Thank you as ever for your help guys. I am very seriously considering giving them everything I have just to be rid. Have a wonderful day x

Hi, I have made a bit of a mistake. I have an agreement with BS to pay £5pw I was supposed to pay £5 20/08/14. I broke down out of area so couldn't pay until I got home which was 02:30 (am) 21/08/14) I have emailed then to apologise that my payment is 2 hours late will they now say that the agreement is broken? Even though it doesn't make a difference to them because its out of office hours either way? If I have broken my agreement what happens next? I hate it all of this for a parking ticket and I feel like these people have control of my life. I wont sleep no worrying about this payment being 2 hours late.

Just as a general query can I write to the LA B&S and their regulator whilst paying the fee to complain? So they can't up the fine but I can still complain?

What kind of evidence?]

I know I just can't deal with the fight at the moment. I need to be able to get on with my life with out worrying about this c***. If I had the envelope and I could prove it I would go for it but I can't. I can't put myself in a situation where I am worried they will take my car or similar. I have written to my pm the authorities pm an Eric pickles office expressing my disgust though that made me feel a smidge better. Than you for all of your advice it is really kind of you. £5 pw is worth my sanity at the moment xxx

I can't find it I didn't think it was important when I got the letter so go knows where it is. I have spoken to the council this am and agreed to pay £5pw to pay them back their "fees". I can't have them take my car which is the only thing of value I have. Thank you for your advise but with out the envelope I am stuffed aren't I. I've had this problem with that company before. Last time the registered ballif on the letter was a man and the person that knocked was a women. Which when I rang and told BS this they told me wasn't true it was a man (with long blonde hair and a skirt) they kept on trying to enforce until the council realised they had as I had said all along over charged me and it all miraculously stopped. Horrible horrible company

P.S I emailed the fine issuing authority before I got any bailiff letter offering to pay by instalments... I did not receive a reply I don't know if this makes any difference.

Hello, I was hoping some one could advise me. I received a parking ticket in January out side university on the road. The original amount was £25 (oh how I wish I had paid it then!). Sadly my aunt died the day after and I forgot said parking ticket. I am a student and a single mother and buried my head in the sand. Last week I received a letter from B&S saying I needed to pay £157. The letter was dated the 8th of July I did not receive it until the 23rd?? Any way I didn't get paid until today 30/07/14 and intended to pay the full amount today (which I have done). I was out all day today in my absence I had a piece of paper posted through my door from an "enforcement agent" entitled "notice of enforcement agent visit" which I picked up when I got home. I did not at any point see the "agent" in question. I then paid £157. Do I have to pay £235 for 1 failed visit? I don't even know if the agent that "signed" visited personally? (He is registered I did check). I have emailed BS and told them that I have paid the £157 and as per the Taking Control of Goods: National Standards 2014 I believe my account is settled. Please help I really cant afford to give the parasites £235 it will literally take all of my wages. I am really worried about them taking my car (its parked in a public car park)
