Thank you very much!

Hello, I need to send a CCA request letter, today if poss, and I cannot find it! If you know where I can find a sample on here would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction? Thanks

Hi, apologies if this is in the running for 'most stupid post of the week' but I wondered how a bailiff company knows which is your car...should they decide to clamp/take your vehicle? Thanks

Thanks ChloeJane; you also gave me some great advice on my initial thread. I will call to check tomorrow morning but I have also just sent an email to the council just to make sure. Thanks again

Hi, would be so grateful for any help. I posted another thread detailing that I'd receiving a bailiff's visit, to a previous address, and that I'd contacted them and it was in relation to an old parking fine (not incurred by me but I'm responsible for it.) I spoke to the council who were very helpful and said I could apply for an out of time statutory declaration on the grounds that I hadn't received the original notice to owner. I have done this yesterday. I have literally JUST had a phone call from the actual bailiff who immediately start in with "my boss has spoken to the council and they've changed their mind and you're still going to have to pay this" So I said that I had lodged the OOT etc and I knew that legally the action had to be suspended (as the council told me) but I'm terrified now that tomorrow morning they'll clamp my car or something? Does anyone have any advice? She asked me if I had a copy of the OOT form that I'd sent and I said Yes-as I do! Can they do anything now? She said that someone at the council said they weren't going to take the OOT and that I still had to pay regardless to the bailiffs?? Please help!

Hello everyone. I just wanted to say thank you to you all for your help and support. I have just spoken to someone at the council and informed that I genuinely do not remember receiving any info on the parking fine. As you have been so kind to point out already they have suggested I lodge an "out of time" document which I'm going to do straight away (thank you ChloeJane for your links, they have been great.) I can't quite believe I got in this situation. Never ever again!! Thank you all once again!

Hi, I've just emailed the council to ask them if I can postpone payment for a few weeks. The bailiff already has the new address as my ex-landlady gave it to them. I'm hoping to hear back from them. Thanks again for the replies.

I don't actually know. I've never seen the warrant as it went to my old address. The parking ticket was just that, a ticket on the car...but I think it in the move it got forgotten and now it's come back to haunt me! Sorry, it that really useless?

Hello, I'm new to this site and would be very very grateful for any advice. I had a phonecall from my ex-landlady a few weeks ago and was informed that a Drakes bailiff had paid a visit to the house (dropped a letter through early morning); when I called I was told it was in relation to an unpaid parking fine. I agreed with the bailiff to pay the £360 fine on 1st November via debit card. I called and paid the fine as agreed but subsequently received a phone call the next day to say that they don't accept my card (electron.) As we've moved about 40-odd miles away the bailiff wasn't too keen on coming out and asked when/if we would be in the vicinity next. I explained that we rarely were but that also my son had, quite probably (we were waiting for a final diagnosis from Gt Ormond St.), M.E. I have twice cancelled going over to our old area as my son has been ill and have asked the bailiff if I can pay the money into a bank etc. She tells me no, that's not possible. She now is getting a bit testy and tells me she "can't let this go on any longer" and I've got to meet her 30miles away tomorrow. OK, here's the stupid part, we have used some of the money due to them to pay for my son to see a medical herbalist to see if that can give him some relief so I don't actually have all their money now either. I cannot, just cannot, let them take my car with my son the way he is and I wondered if it was worthwhile contacting the council (who have been very good in the past) and asking them if they would accept a 3wk delay in payment? Does anyone know if that is feasible? Can the council intervene? I am so scared that they will take my car. I really would appreciate some advice. Many thanks
