For those who may think a application is in for a renewal :

Please note. In line with the law at that time, all standard credit licences issued before April 2008 were valid only for a specified period (five years). Thus the Register shows the “Issued” date and the “Expiry” date for that licence. However, where an applicant makes an application for a renewal in good time, the Act says that the previous licence will continue in force beyond its original expiry date. To check whether a licence has automatically lapsed or whether a renewal has been received, and the licence thus remains in effect beyond its original expiry date, see the Licence Status field. This will show “current” or “lapsed” as appropriate.


Taken from this page of the oft website :


Public Register

I have just checked with the oft and they have confirmed that JBW do not hold a current licence and neitehr have they got one pending neither have they filed in a different name.

pity wee cant find out who they collect for and ask for there comments about using a company thats not licensed

They collect for :
transport for london,hackney,wandsworth ,medway

you can see him on you tube as well

transport for london,hackney,wandsworth ,medway have you got an e-mail address for who i would send it to
haven't used my C A G e-mail for a while could do with an airing

Haringey = jane.selby@haringey.gov.u k
Hackney = Parking complaints officer = filho@hackney.gov.uk

Do not forget that JBW also have a debt collection side based in the plymouth area. Unless they are getting around the law ?

It is true that the vast majority of bailiff companies do indeed have a Consumer Credit Licence as many companies also pursue OTHER debts that do not require being enforced by a certificated bailiff.

Many people on CAG are aware that we are a commercial organisation and indeed we have copies of many contracts between local authorities and the relevant bailiff companies but from a brief look this morning at a few contracts I cannot find that they stipulate that a Consumer Credit Licence is required so I would be cautious with making contact with relevant local authorities at this moment in time.

PS; JBW no longer work for City of Westminster. This contract is now with Philips Ltd and has been so since approx September 2008.

we probably need someone to test the waters on this.

Oft have just confirmed that they have recieved a concumer credit licence application from JBW. Question why not put it in before ?

Its nothing what we say or know about. Nobody will say anything to them. They could even wind up owing millions to the council and then start up again and the councils will welcome them back with open hands. however unless they have already started to transfer their buisiness to another company and then eventually let JBW go is anybodys guess. Thier new application is as follows :

I thought someone would say that. However the bailiff collects for the bailiff company and so on .
