The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
i have received several fines that relate to a company vehicle of which i am the registered keeper but not always the driver, the drivers of the van are being very tight lipped about who actually received the fine, is there anything i can do??
all help very much appreciated.
A bit late now but you really need to keep a record of whos driving each day and put it in their contract they are liable for all fines. Surely you must be able to match some of the tickets to jobs done that day in that location?
If this is a Council pcn, then the registered keeper is ultimately liable; if this is a private 'PCN' then the RK simply writes back to say that he was not the driver at the time and the matter needs to be addressed to the driver. there is no obligation to inform this privare company of the name of the driver.
However, G&M makes a very good point. Imagine it was a speed camera ticket; you are legally obliged to name the driver and for a company vehicle you are required to know who was driving at any time.
Bit late on this one but you only state that you are the keeper. Actual liability is with the owner. While there is, in law, a presumption that the keeper is the owner, if you can prove that someone else is the owner then that other person will be liable.
This may not help with company vehicles if you have an agreement with the company that you as keeper will pay the penalties.
pcn received on company van please help
