hi thanks for the reply, could i ask, is their a anywhere in which i could get a template letter to explain that the car is on finance and the charges levied are illegal as the car does not fully belong to me due to it being on finance. i dont understand how they can charge so much for charges that are illegal, the goverment should do something about this. i mean everyone should sign an online petition and send to the relevant parties with all evidences of these companies adding excessive charges and forcing people to pay, acting illegally with a bailiff certificate. thanks

Hi, Thanks for the reply, no only the PCM letter I have apart from that I did not get any other letters from the council, Are they allowed the charge levy on my car as it's on finance? And How can they charge tow if no tow truck came and clamp if it's on finance? Can I go about sending them a letter stating the illegal charges? How do I go about getting a refund? Kind regards Thanks in advance to your replys.

I did not get no letters from NEWLYN at all but i do have the original parking fine, but apart from that no such letters from NEWLYN.

Hi to everyone firstly. I woke up on the 14th of July 2010 at around 7am to hear a weird noise from outside, when i went to have a look i saw a guy clamping my car, i quickly opened my window to ask the person to stop what he was doing but he did not seem to care what i said. When i went down to confront him regarding the clamp, he told me PCN charge for Islington council, i remembered immediately, i had forgotten to get back to the council as the PCN was being sent to my old address. anyways cutting it short i was told i had to pay or car would be taken in half n hour, well not knowing about clamping i got scared, i didnt say anything and went inside thinking what to do, the bailiff came back and said you have till 11.30am to pay or tow truck will tow your car. i made calls to friends to get the money which was £818.57 i managed to find the money, when the bailiff came back i asked for a breakdown first but was refused , with the panic and stress of my car being towed away i payed. I came home and onto the net to find many forums with lots of these bailiff charges The breakdown i was given is as follows Debt £185.00 First Letter £11.20 HPI £20.00 Attends and V1 £162.00 Attends and V2 £66.00 Attends and V3 £70.00 Cancel Tow £90.00 Clamp £120.00 VAT £94.37 Total £818.57 when i saw this i quested about the charges but was told to speak to write in letter. My Car is on Finance and self employed Is the charges above correct if you could help, what are they allowed to charge me if my car is on finance and used for work as im self employed. thanks from now.
