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.
My wife had to visit our local hospital (Rugby St. Cross) which requires you to 'Pay and Display'. Unfortunately she didn't have any change so she went straight into the Hospital in order to get some change from the Cafe. With there being a queue in there she was gone for 15 minutes, and when she returned to her car with change for the machine a parking ticket had been issued on her car.
Ok, her fault she should have had change.
However, when she opened the ticket she notice the following -
A CIVIL PARKING NOTICE OF £xxxx IS DUE WITHIN 28 DAYS OF THE DATE OF ISSUE
and
A discounted amount of £xxxx will be accepted........ etc
Where the warden should have entered the amount of the fine and the early payment amount, both boxes were empty!
So she has no idea how much to pay.
What route should we go down now, should she photocopy the ticket and return it with a cheque for £0 ??
As Crem says simply ignore. The ticket you had is merely an invoice. If you were to appeal it would be unlikely that you would win as the appeals process is done in house so only one outcome. You may then further recieve a few letters from a DCA stating all sorts,- again ignore and they will give up after that
