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.
I have just been told by a local authority that i am no longer being persued for a pcn as this is over the 1000 day limit. when i queried this they said that a parking ticket is not enforceable after 1000 days unless there is warrant out or it has been registered with the court. i cannot give you a hint but can somebody confirm this ?
This actually sounds more like the local authority has it's own internal policy to no longer press claims over a certain period of time. I know Transport for London writes congestion charges off after about 2 years.

If anything I've said helps you then please feel free to tip my scales!
Thats a new one. if only people knew how to draag through the 2 or 3 years before the las run out of time.if you have found my breaking information helpful please click on the scales!!!!!
Well I for one wouldn't like someone chasing me for a parking ticket for several years.
This would depend on the local authority involved and I am sure that many of them don't write off claims at all. I'm sure there are better ways of dealing with it than waiting for them to write it off, if ever!

Im still fighting two tickets from Lambeth Council 10 months afterwards, they tell me there is no time limit. I am hoping the independent adjudicators will not look to favorably on the slac timing of their replies.

If councils havnt resolved within (i think) 6 months, then you can have the ticket cancelled due to "Procedule Error". New government rules state that coucils cant take longer than this.
I currently work for a council as a "Civil enforcement officer", and I hope to help you all with any queries you have, and how to proceed.
Another point here.
When you get a pcn, appeal to the local council, you could have the ticket cancelled even if you think you dont have a case. They must consider all circumstances. So if you think you dont have a case, appeal, you may find that you DO have a case.
They must then extend the discount period for another 14 days.
So dont think that its not worth it, or that you dont have the time, and end up paying the discounted rate within 14 days. MAKE THE TIME. How long does it take to open word, write a letter, stick a stamp on an envelope and post it ? For all you know, you could get off with the lot, for the 30 mins it takes to write / post a letter. What have you got to lose.

If you must give your 'proffesional' advice could you at least make sure its correct. There is nothing to say Councils 'must' re-offer the 14 day discount if you appeal and get rejected its just seen as good practice.

Your correct, there is nothing to say councils MUST do that. But I am stating how MY council does it. So the advice is that people MUST CHECK and see if the council does extend the discount period if you appeal. SIMPLE AS THAT, SO THE ADVICE IS SOUND. But thank you for butting in.

Your Council doesn't do it this way. Your Council is not operating DPE yet.
If that is how your Council intends to do it then your statement may be correct from next month - but it is currently untrue.
If you are dealing with Council parking matters, sweeping statements are generally unhelpful. What is required is precision when dealing with such a legal minefield and the local government mindset.
pcns validity check this !!!
as this is over the 1000 day limit. when i queried this they said that a parking ticket is not enforceable after 1000 days unless there is warrant out or it has been registered with the court. i cannot give you a hint but can somebody confirm this ?
