Equita Final Demand

[zontaxit]

Hi all,

 

I received a final demand notice from Equita in regards to an unpaid parking charge. I have ignored previous letters. The letter stipulates that they have already sent a bailiff but they were 'unable to meet with you' and have re-scheduled them to call on a different date, where they will seek to remove the vehicle.

 

I have not contacted them yet (or previously) as I do not have the means to pay the full balance which from the last letter was £140 odd.

 

What are your suggestions?

Will they accept a payment plan?

 

Thanks

Forgot to say. No bailiff has been around as they have stated.

Hmmm, well in your shoes I'd play dumb and file an Out of time statutory declaration, that should freeze bailiff action until the court decides whether to accept your excuse that this is the first you've heard of it.

Right ok, How do I go about getting a Out of time statutory declaration? Do I get this from the court?

Nevermind I think I have found it.

 

Just to double check is this the correct form?

EDIT: I do not have the original PCN number that they require on the form. Shall I just put 'Did not receive notification' ?

 

Thanks

Hi there

 

I too received a final demand from Equita a few weeks ago which was also regarding a parking fine from a few years back. I found this odd cause I never received a letter from them previously and then two come along at once, one in colour and one in black and white. They said, they're going to come to my property in seven days, and I still haven't heard from them. I tried to call them, but all I got was their 'automated service' where they asked for a reference number and a PIN number. I found the reference number on the letter but no PIN number, please advice me on what action should I take to resolve this matter.

 

Thanks

Sorry, folks, been a bit tied up with my own chaos.

 

yes that's what I'd put, although tomtubby is the expert, and if you've any major doubt you should google bailiff advice online and read on.

 

thx, I'd do what zontaxit is doing.
