Very much so, its the fees under scrutiny here

All, I finally heard back, please see attachment, many thanks for your help thus far,

Quick update here, after sending a mail/email I received this via email: Newlyn Reference: Council Reference: Dear Arrears of: Road Traffic debt owed to London Borough of Harrow In the Name of: Total Outstanding: £-22.80 We acknowledge receipt of your recent email received by this office. We are currently in the process of investigating the circumstances surrounding this matter and will respond to you during the course of the following 10 days. Yours Faithfully NEWLYN PLC I am yet to receive a further reply so a reminder has been sent today via 1st class rec and emailed.

http://www.bdl.org.uk/images/Bailiffs%27%20fees%20for%20parking%20penalties%20in%20the%20county%20court.pdf From what I can see, they are allowed to charge me (this is assuming they are allowed to share the levy between two parking fines, which they are not) 1 x £11.20 for a letter if they sent you one before attending For making a levy on your vehicle = 28% of £200 (£56) plus 5.5% of £144 (£7.92) = £63.92 Attempted visit to make levy = reasonable costs Cost of attending to remove = reasonable costs Somehow they have managed to charge another £800 or so for these ‘reasonable costs’! Outrageous any thoughts on this would be appreciated, you may need to read my costs in my first post to come to a decision.

I have looked at the paperwork I have from the council and the most recent note is the ' Order for Recovery'. but this was received some weeks ago. Can anything be done? Thanks

It was a Statutory Declaration form from harrow which I found. here is the link to the page. http://forums.pepipoo.com/lofiversion/index.php/t75215.html

update: OK so I am unable to apply for this as I have just read. It seems you can only apply for a statutory declaration if you have already challenged the notice. Can someone confirm this is true? Thanks

The clamper informed me a letter was sent on the 4th of June which I didn't receive, I would of done something about this as soon as I knew a bailiff was involved. I appreciate that but I did not have the money to pay it and the council don't care about that and wont help with anything that I COULD pay, but I am still yet to see one of these....?!

oh... :-I

I am pretty sure I have not received a statutory declaration form yet though?!

Yes I have received threatening council letters but no Newlyn letters. Does that mean there is nothing I can do?

They were issued in November, do the dates matter? The letters said if you do not pay then bailiffs will be instructed via the traffic center (obviously not in those words) Harrow council sent letters to the correct address via the DVLA because I received them.

They are parking tickets from Harrow council. All I have received is prompts for payments from the council. No letters from the bailiff so far. I am in the process of sending the letter.

Hi there everyone, Today whilst I was at work I received a message from my girlfriend saying my car has been clamped and they want £1000 to free it. Me of course loosing my mind and stressing beyond all belief I tried and tried with them to say I will pay the balance in installments and they said due to the value of my car they cannot offer a payment arrangement. The person that was dealing with my file said he will speak to his team leader to authorise a price of £732 or so, this was declined by the "team leader". Then I said is there a way I could pay over the phone, he replies "no payments are taken over the phone" and in the next 15 minutes if you don't pay we will call a truck to take your car away and you will have to collect it from the pound and incur truck charges. He was also not willing to wait for me to leave work and come home to pay off the balance and apparently called a truck to collect my car while I was en route. I would also like to add that a letter was supposedly sent to my home address (not where my car was clamped) on the 4th of June which I am yet to see. When I got home It had come to my attention that my girlfriends mother had paid the fee £1133.22!! This consisted of the below. Ticket 1: Penalty and/or court fees £172.00 Bailiff fees Inc VAT £522.36 Total £724.36 Ticket 2 Penalty and/or court fees £172.00 Bailiff fees Inc VAT £104.86 - Different from above?? Total Outstanding £276.86 Total by my calculations: £1,001.22/ Debit card reciept from Newlyn showing £1133.22. I was told that I incurred a truck fee even though the truck was not present, or it did not show this anywhere on the paperwork I was provided. Can someone please please advise me as to what I should do here as I REALLY cannot afford to loose in excess if £1,000. ARE THEY REALLY ALLOWED TO TO THIS TO ME!!!! Thank you.

I cant wait to see what they come up with, my guess its pretty much NOTHING
