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.
A friend borrowed my car some 2 years back whilst visiting London. He got a ticket and I wrote to Haringey Council twice advising that he was the driver. They claim they never received my letters. My letters were dated 29 November 2004 and 1 December 2004.
Anyway, they appointed bailiffs to my previous home address. I have written to Northampton county court (and had the forms signed at my local court) to have the judgement set aside.
Fortunately, I kept all the papers. Looking closely at the papers and the ticket which was left in the car, they noted the colour of my car as blue when it is in fact black.
Also, not sure if the following helps:-
Ticket Date: 19 September 2004
Notice to Owner Date: 18 October 2004
Charge Certificate Date: 17 November 2004
Haringey now seem keen to settle this with me and offering to reach a compromised cash settlement. This seems odd and in any event, I believe I am not liable as I was not the driver.
Can anyone out there who knows about these things offer any advice?

Thanks anyway. Greatly appreciated.
I would imagine they dont have a leg to stand on. If its the wrong colour then it cant be the same car, ergo if a person commited a robbery and was discribed as being black but he was white then it would be dismissed.
You can send a copy of your registration document to them which proves the colour of your car.
