thanks - I thought that is the case but didnt want to assume .

Thanks - oldbill , can you please clarify "Signed For Letter " ( again, apologies for my ignorance ) - do i merely write to them stating the issue and requesting clarification? thx

THanks for that - appreciate it . Forgive me my ignorance but does that mean that i should at the same time try to contact council/LA to get further clarification? thanks

Good evening everyone, Well, to make it clear(er) - I didn't raise the concern since my car was an old Ford KA , 97 reg and in a way it was a relief to have it towed away at a time. However, at this stage - and I am not sure how the letter from bailiffs ( chasing unpaid PCN I assume) have reached me at my new address. As per tomtubby's suggestion I shall liaise with Traffic Enforcement Centre to get further information - however I have just taken a look at the letter from the bailiff and there appears to be absolutely no additional information regarding PCN - the only details are my car's reg number and bailiff reference. Again, many thanks for your comment and suggestions -these are very much appreciated. have a good evening, Jo- Anne

Good morning , And thanks for your replies everyone. I would be grateful if anyone could actually advise on the best course of action at this point - i.e . to pay the charge and than contest ( i really don't want anyone knocking on my doors to recover the charge ) or would I be better off contacting DVLA to establish what actually happened to a vehicle and than take things from there ? Apologies for millions of questions but I have never been in that position before and really not sure what would be the best way of handling it . Thanks a lot, Jo- Anne

hi again and thanks for your reply , Just to clarify - my car been parked in the resident's parking space ( i had a permit at a time ) however it expired while I was out of London . Upon my return I have found out that my car been towed away - I didn't have the funds to pay the fine and assumed that it has been scrapped . I have heard absolutely nothing about the matter however moved ( locally ) couple of months ago and in the beginning of this week received letter which said the following : " The Enforcement of road traffic debts ( certificated bailiffs ) ( amendment )regulations 2003 "By the virtue of a warrant issued by the traffic enforcement centre at Northampton County court and with the authority of xxxxx Council we have been instructed to seize goods and chattels on the premises for an unpaid parking charge ". It goes on a little bit longer along the same lines . What I don't quite understand is why I have not been contacted at my old address when the incident took place but instead got the letter in Dec claiming the unpaid amount ( which I was never made aware of in the first place ) ? As per your prev post - can I actually contest it and what would be the chance of having it revoked ( if any ) ? Thanks a lot, Jo - Anne.

hi, thanks for ur reply- no,not even sure there was an original ticket since i ve been out of london and when got back car was towed away . So , can i only assume that there must have been a ticket - is there anything I can do to contest the charges? Thanks,

HELP, my car been towed away ( and I assumed scrapped ) back in April this year - since I lost my job I couldn't afford to pay the fine and assumed at a time that it was the end of it. I have moved houses and was surprised to receive a letter yesterday from Rundles Bailiffs to claim 140 pounds in parking charges . As per above- I was under the assumption that since the car has been towed away and I couldnt pay for its recovery that would be the end of the matter? What parking charges can be claimed at this stage and why ? I am also perplexed how did bailiffs managed to locate me at the new address since I didnt disclose it to anyone ( thought that is less of an issue at this point). Your help and assistance would be much appreciated. Jo- anne
