Excessive Balliff Charge For A Fine I Paid!

[greengrass1]

Hello, I'm new to this forum and would like some guidance and help.

 

In Feb 2007 I receieved a parking fine in London. About 1 month later, received a letter "Notice to Owner" from the council which I stupidly ignored. In July had letter from Newlyn Balliffs requesting payment which had doubled to £250 which I paid end of August. A Few months later i received a letter form Newlyn requesting payment which I presumed I had already paid. So contacted them by phone and the guy confirmed to me, yes it was paid. Yesterday afternoon 9 months later and no contact since, they ring a leave a answerphone message stateing they will call and remove goods the following day unless I paid them £650!! Outrageous!

 

The £250 was paid direct to the council concerned and have bank statment to prove. If I had incurred further charges around the date of requested payment from Newlyn, surely they should inform you.

 

Any advice or help would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

I think this needs to be moved to the bailff section where you can get some sound advice mate.
