Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
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.
Im trying to get some advice for my mum who is attempting to fight a council parking ticket.
She parked in a side road a side road after dark with no streetlights and found the ticket when she returned.
After contacting the provided number to contest the ticket she was told she had not complied with the parking notices (parked during no parking hours) and that the ticket would stand.
She explained she had not seen any notices and that it had been totally dark when she arrived and therefore didnt even know there were any there.
This again was refused as an excuse, and I can understand why, however she took photos of the alleged sign the folling night at the same time she had recieved the ticket (closer than the distance the car was from it) and it clearly, excuse the pun, cannot be seen. she then did the same thing with the flash to prove the point.
Again this was refused and she requested copies of the photos taken by the warden and was told, accoriding to his report, it was too dark to take photos.
On top of this the details of the ticket are incorrect.
Although the licence number is indeed her vehicle it is listed as a brown honda as opposed to the red hyundi that it actually is.
Any thoughts or help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Council ticket, will try to get hold of both and post asap.
Thought possibly the incorrect make of the vehicle might also come into it.
Another thought just surfaced, council said they were not required to illuminate signage however if the sign cannot be seen in the dark surely they cannot ticket in those conditions as they are not providing "adequate! signage?
Ticket advice for mum!
