ignore that link by the way! Just type it in2 google and you should find it

Newyns are a bunch of crooks. I had the samething. Same initial fee, different charges! - Ive tried to get a subject access request from them and they refuse to supply the bailiffs name, dates of visits etc. Check out this link Screw The Bailiff Also it may be worth filling out forms PE2/3 - That will revoke any action and send it back to the local authority. Obviously you need a decent reason to fill it in tho!

Just over two years ago now I received 21 pcns all for the same offence over a 4/6 week period. Due to the lease company giving the local authority my old address the first I knew about it was some two months later when my mail was redirected. By this stage already communication was all over the place. As each NTO arrived I wrote informing them of the mix up with address and challenging the ticket. 90% of correspondence was ignored the other 10% standard computer generated letter replies. To cut a long story short this went on until the following June 08 when shortly after filing PE2/3 Newyns bailiffs executed 16 of them charging me 16 x £150 (£2400) and £3600 in charges. It is only since then that the sheer incompetence of the council and the cheek of the bailiff has shown its true colours. Firstly last Sept/Oct 08 I started receiving refunds of £150 x 12 from the local authority. They absolved themselves of any blame citing technical errors and also absolving themselves of the actions of the appointed bailiffs and fees charged. Despite various communication with Newyns they have failed to supply a full SAR. They provided breakdown of costs(typed on a fancy word document all fees all different etc )but no bailiffs names, proof of visits etc. They said they would defend any action in court but also offered me £600 refund in final settlement. That refund was never forthcoming and I wouldn't have accepted it anyway. To me that was a sign of there guilt! - One thing that did interest me though was there statement that the local authority cancelled the other five with them FOUR months before the execution of the others in Feb 08. Despite various letters to the local authority on all listed above they haven't replied well not in detail and failed to address my points or there actions! I would like to add I have been in communication with both parties since December of last year so I have allowed ample time for SAR,s and council action to be provided/taken. Reading various posts on here I've gleaned that local authorities are ultimately responsible for actions of there bailiffs. So my question is to whom do I aim my action at? The local authority are quiet clearly in the wrong here. They don't answer letters. They don't respond to the 19 day guidelines set by the TEC. They don't answer why five where cancelled before bailiff action and twelve (of the 16 remaining) refunded after. And finally one of the five cancelled in Feb 08 has since been issued to another bailiff recently! It seems they think they are above the law and I feel the reissue of one cancelled is nothing short of harassment! Of course the new bailiff company are not interested they just want the money so now I'm watching my back daily and its all down to the incompetence of the council! With regards to Newlyns. Again after reading posts on here the general consensus is that bailiffs cannot multiple charge so in my case the alleged debt was £2400 what in your opinion should have been a realistic bailiff charge for 2 supposed visits and on the third they collected the debt? - They also haven't complied with a SAR and the bailiff name is not clear on the receipt so what person would I direct a form4 complaint to? Or finally should I just refer it to the Local government ombudsman or just take both parties to court? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
