Thank you I will pass this onto him. Odd though that Rossendales doesn't include the date of the 'ticket'. If he replies should we mention that we have no recollection of the event as they have failed to include date/time? Many thanks

Hi he was parked at a retail park-the ticket was from a company called Excell. (I think they are a private company rather than instructed by the council?)

Sorry have just phoned my mum-dad was parked in disabled bay and displaying his blue badge-when he spotted that it was a payable carpark he returned thinking he may have to pay. Then he spotted the attendant who said that the badge wasn't clearly displayed enough

Hi I wonder if anyone be able to help, I'm posting on behalf of my father who a number of years ago (May 2011)received a PCN from Excel parking, at the he ignored this (he actually was only parked for less than 5 minutes before he returned to find him being ticketed-he hadn't realised it was a payable carpark as when he realised he returned) He today received a letter from Rossendales Collect stating that the debt has been sold onto them and they can offer a reduced payment of £100 and in accordance to 'something' act they can recover debt up to 6 years. (unfortunately I don't have the letter-my mum and dad are worried) Im hoping to reassure them. Rossendales haven't included the date of the 'offence' in the letter nor does it ask who was the driver at the time. should my dad ignore, write to Rossendales asking for dates etc or pay up?? Many thanks in advance.

I didn't get any points for any of it, just shows on licence. So it is right then that its on twice.

Hi, I'm after a bit of help again. In November 2010 I was convicted of Dangerous driving and also for 2 tyres On my Licence it shows 1x DD40 and 2x CU30 (Using a vehicle with defective tyres) I read somewhere that you only get fined once of a CU30 and therefore if you had 1 or more tyres below the legal limits you would only get one fine, So if this is the case should I have 2 CU30's on my licence? If not what do I do? I know I can have them removed from my licence after 4 years but need to inform my insurance for 5 years, if I only have one CU30 on my licence it should make my insurance cheaper. Thanks for your help.

Sorry the wording was: 'We have now reviewed your liability and can confirm that you are no longer required to make a contribution. '

Hi After a few letters going back and forth between LA and myself I asked for them to supply me with a copy of the legal aid application form they kept referring to. LA stated Rossendales had it. Rossendales stated the court had it, crown court failed to respond to my requests for a copy. No one seemed to be able to tell us the date we applied or any information contained within the form I signed. Very long story short... ... I received a letter today to inform me that an error had been made and the capital contribution order has been REVOKED!!! Thank you for the helpful advice feel like a huge weight has been lifted.

I wrote to Legal Aid stating that whilst I did have equity in the property I was unable to access a portion of it to pay in full. I stated that I could offer a monthly payment but was unwilling to pay Rossendales a monthly admin fee. LA have written back saying they are unable to discuss payment /payment plans and we have to deal with and make offers to Rossendales. Surely LA as 'owners' of the debt can say they accept the offer?? What should I do next??

Oh and regulation 28.

Many thanks for your help. They said 'regulation 34'! Unfortunately there isnt a law centre in my area that will help- the only one said they cant help as only deal with immigration and employment law.

I have received a letter today from Leagl Aid, confirming that they can assess the value of the property whenever they want. Thy acknowledged that its been dlightky longer than the 6 months to send out the order following the case (38 months) it seems like there is absolutely nothing I can do about them sitting and waiting till the house has increased in value/the mortgage has reduced. Im reluctant to pay Rossendales but legal aid insist I cant pay them direct -any advice on how to pay them, Rossendales charge a fee to pay monthly by card Im going to struggle to pay this back so dont want to be paying additional fees. many thanks for your help.

I havent had a reply to the letter I sent to Legal aid so telephoned them today. The .gov site states that the capital contribution order is based upon the time of application. (it also says the order will be made within 6 months of the case ending, it was 38 months after conculsion when I got the letter) I telephoned Legal Aid this morning and quoted the relevant section to them, they have said 'regulations state they can assess at any time' They have also said that they have no facilities to take payments and we have to pay Rossendales direct. If we can eventually come to an agreement with what I apparently 'owe' I would have to make monthly payments and I would want to pay them and not have to pay the additional charges added by Rossendales for paying by debit card monthly. Would anyone be able to help with how to word a letter to state that I would offer a monthly payment of £x and that I dont want to pay Rossendales or the addditional charges they add. Will I have to send Rossendales an income/expenditure form. many thanks

I telephoned Legal Aid today to ensure any action was on hold whilst the matter resolved, they have said that the figures are based upon the value and the mortgage remaining on the propery now rather than at the time of application. Is anyone able to confirm that this is correct as I was under the impression it was from time of application. LA have also said that payments/payment plans etc have to be made with Rossendales. Rossendales charge a fee with each payment, which will add to the 'debt' Will Rossendales expect an income and expenditure list and for us to make an offer or do they set what we have to pay? many thanks

Got another letter from rossendales should I ignor it or call legal aid, I sent a letter to legal aid that they received on thursday.
