Chris600UK - just checked out your response on this thread. And thank goodness I did! You've completely put my mind at rest. I got a letter on Monday (dated Friday of course), telling me I had unpaid fines. When I called to pay I was told there were three others. Clearly I've never received any letters concerning the rest. But having read all the complaints on the web (well a few!), I can see why. I got another letter this morning telling me that because I haven't paid any fines (I have proof of payment through my online bank), that the bailiffs are coming. Now I know, that because everything has been paid, we can simply tell them to go away. I have to say all the posts on various websites were worrying me as I felt as if I'd just been targetted by some sort of conman. I have also written to Equita and demanded details of the debt, and written to the council involved. With much disgust I might add. I know I shouldn't be surprised but how can councils employ these people! Anyway, a thanks for the link has just turned in to a rant.
