PLEASE Help - Parking Ticket - Equita

[lovefrance]

Hello.

 

Please could someone help with some advice. I put a thread on here dated 8th July (Equita, defaulted they say, rubbish I say), but no-one has replied.

 

Received in the post today more letters from Equita (Bailiff Removal).

 

I am near to breaking point, as there does not seem to be anyone to turn to. I have phoned and written to the Northampton Court, the Lambeth Parking, OFT, Trading Standards. I have phoned numerous helplines who just give you a reference number incase you call them back.

 

There is no way we are going to pay them any more money, especially for visits they have not made. But how do you put a stop to the letters threatening (I quote) 'to remove goods (including motor vehicles) even if you are not in attendance'.

 

Any advice no matter how small would be very much appreciated.

Have you sent these idiots a SAR demanding all correspondence / details of who visited and when, all payments made and a breakdown of the costs applied?

Hi Again. Thank you all for your replies.

 

I asked for a breakdown of costs and received a very basic list, which did include visit fees. When these visits happened are a mystery to me as I'm here most of the time and no letters were left.

 

But as PGH7447 suggests I shall now write to them for a Subject Access Request. Thank you.

 

To DX500 have you now found the post as I see PGH7447 very kindly put it in a posting.

[hallowitch]

i would also suggest you go to see your M P

Good Morning.

 

Re: Equita Fees. On the basic breakdown they sent me they have charged an Enforcement Fee of £310.00. Could someone please explain what an enforcement fee means. This is with regard to my original posting.

 

Also, as my partner is a builder and needs his van for work, can they come and remove it? Would we be within our rights to change the ownership of the van from him to me?

 

Any info would be very much appreciated.

Good Morning. Update to my problem.

 

Have received a reply, from Equita, Saturday, they have given dates only of the visits and say they are 'unable to supply a copy correspondence as these are computer generated' and the name of the court where the bailiff is registered, but not his new mobile number.

 

I have been to my local MP's office and they asked for copies of all correspondence, will look through and write a letter to them. I don't know if this will then put end to this but fingers crossed.

Hi Again.

 

Just one more question. The fees quoted on this site that a Bailiff can charge for the collection of Council Tax, are they the same for collection of parking ticket fees. That is visit fees, etc. Thank you.
