bailiffs at previous address - what to do?

[billobo]

Bailiffs (Equita) are going to a former address claiming for some PCNs (my car is still registered there).

I don't want my ex-landlady to be bothered. I have phoned the bailiff and left voicemails with a phone number to contact me, but no response.

I haven't lived at that address for over a year; currently I live 150 miles away, staying on a friends sofa, claiming JSA and no fixed abode.

I don't want to reveal my friends address and cause her any bother.

Now, I want to deal with this (although I can't currently pay anything and am in debt) without getting anyone else in trouble.

The bailiff hasn't responded and the only email available is on their website which requires and address (and nat. ins. no. !!??) which I won't fill in.

What can I do?

[fluffy_bunny]

can you fax them?

[billobo]

That's a possibility, if I could find a public fax. Thanks.

Will they still pursue my ex-landlady if I don't give them a new address?

This is so SIMPLE. As all statutory notices had been sent to a previous address you need to complete an Out of Time Statutory Declaration. I have sent you a PM.

[billobo]

Thank you - I like simple! Would the 'out of time' route be valid given that the warrants were issued in january this year?

[hallowitch]

yes it would you have 21 days from the time you were made aware of the debt

Small correction HW. The 21 days provision is ONLY applicable to MAGISTRATE COURT FINES. With an Out of Time Statutory Declaration for an unpaid penalty charge notice (PCN) it can be done at any time. Even AFTER a person has paid a bailiff.

Thanks for the correction something else to take note of

[billobo]

I checked the 'out of time route' and it seems that is only applicable if I were unaware of any notifications prior to bailiff actions.

I did receive the statutory notifications prior to the bailiffs getting involved.

Where does this leave me re. taking the heat off my former landlady?

The bailiff has still not responded to my voicemail.

Hints

Follow TT's advice - always sound.

 

Do not ring Bailiff unless you can record the call - this may sound very strange but they have been known to lie in the past.:? They all have other names - mainly Enid Blyton as they like to tell stories that are pure fiction.:-|

That has to be a "Magic" comment - has made my morning. Maybe the spelling should be Grim.

Is that a chuckle I hear and yes it should be Grim. I would like to kick a few of them in the crystal balls, with the amount of grief they cause people, I would have a smashing time.
