Thank you very much for your advice, its very much appreciated. My car is probaly not even worth £500 so I'm effectively being charged 3 times its value, if not more! Another point that I didn't mention in my previous post is that when I advised the bailiff that I had moved house he told me that 'I' had committed a 'criminal' offence by not telling DVLA, which I accept to a degree but hard to take from an under hand bailiff!! He made no mention of notifying council to change address of warrent of execution. I'm off to the council now in the hope that they can provide PCN details etc and will file TE7 & TE9 as required - just hope my car doesnt vanish in the meantime! I'll keep you updated with any progress and despite this being a complete nightmare I feel more confident and better informed to deal with this than I did yesterday morning at 7am!

please help! I woke up this morning to find my car had been clamped at 5am. When I called the mobile number on the notice which they bailiff had left i was advised that my car had been clamped as a result of non payment of 3 separate PCN - none of which I was aware of. When I explained my case I discovered that the PCNs had been sent to my old address - admittedly I'd forgotten to update my address with DVLA/Log book. However, I do find it strange that my car was clamped outside my new address given that all the letters went to my old address... As it stands the bailiff won't give me PCN reference numbers and I've been unable to speak to anyone at the council - recorded messages etc - so I really dont know where to turn. The bailiff is asking for £1700 to remove the clamp and if i dont pay they will tow it away. I need the car to get to work but like most people I dont have £1700 to spare and nor do I think its justified - in fact Ive got no idea what this figure is made up of. Basically I need to know what I can do to resolve this nightmare. Is it best to pay up and hope to pursue refund via courts or should I try and pursue through council in hope that my car is not towed in the meantime? Apolgies if this posting is in any way unclear - I'm stressed beyond belief! Any advice would be gratefully received
