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 few pointers on what can and cannot be done with pcns.
if the parking attendent has started to write the ticket out you can drive off. the ticket is not valid as long as it has not been handed to you or been stuck to the vehicle.
it is also illegal for parking attendants to stand in the front of your vehicle when you are driving off !!!
you have 15mins grace from the time stated on your pcn before you get clamped.
also you cannot get a pcn within 12 hours of the original ticket unless your vehicle has moved from the spot.
there are others but they will not let me write these down. i have been through parking tickets bailiffs/courts etc and know my way around like the back of my hand. anyway click the scale if you think what i have told you is worth it !!
However, parking attendants can (and do) just bin the driver's copy in the nearest receptacle, and then when the paperwork arrives through the post, it is your workd against theirs that the ticket was never applied to the vehicle.
Absolutely - so if you expect them to bin it, there's little point in making a getaway, unless you've video evidence (or an independent witness) to back you up - which usually means partners and spouses are ineligible....
Forgive me but shouldn't we all just be law abiding citizens and park within the remits of the law? That's the ONLY real way to avoid getting a parking ticket !

Tiger, ive been parked in a box with a paid parking ticket in my windscreen, showing the time and date, that corresponded with the time and date of the so called offence. I knew id done nothing wrong, even checked I was parked correctly because I was becoming paranoid about getting tickets as they arrived accusing me of illegally parking, when I had no recollection or ticket. Still the process whereby you dispute that fact is a farce, and in the end its youre word against the wardens. The reponse from the authorities is:
I have read youre account of the incident carefully. Unfortunately, it conflicts with the parking attendents account. The Council and its agents employ only trained and accredited attendents to act as expert witnesses.In the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, I must presume that the parking attendents account of the circumstances is accurate.
Therefore Tiggy, you need to carry a camera at all times and when it happens to you, you know youre being conned and the only assumption I could make was that the attendents were on commission or bonuses, dependent on how many people they could stitch up in a day.
On another occassion, I actually had a policeman who just so happened to be passing. Assure me I was not illegally parked or on a yellow line. He gave his number and station telephone number to act as witness. An owner in the shop I had just left, saw the same, and wrote a letter witnessing the event too. Do you think that stopped the council from continuing with their action? No

Whether it's illegal or not I guess they'd be b****y stupid to stand in front of a car they were just ticketing!!!!!!
Jimbo 44 - always happy to help, but always willing to learn from being corrected too!!! Whilst any advice given may be based upon personal experience, please always be sure you seek guidance from a professional in the particular field.
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark, but a large group of professionals built the Titanic.
A 'click' on the scales is always appreciated if I have helped. Many Thanks!
Its if you do not know what they are and arnt allowed to you would not move your car as it was against the law which it is not !!!
theyre not even allowed to stand on the road while writing a ticket out. the most they can do is stand on the kerb . I know this because i had a run in with tickets. hEnce know where to stand my ground.
I don't think we should be looking for ways of not paying parking tickets when we have parked in the wrong place how scally is that. don't brake the law and you won't get fined, simple as that who needs all the hassel. I admit there are the odd few TWs who will put a ticket on anything thats stood still long enough but most tickets are for parking offences.
Pen
Fortunately, I think the overiding sentiment on here is quite moral, if you get caught, then take the punishment - however if there is skulduggery involved with a less than scrupulous TW, I see no reason why they should not be held accountable for their actions.
