Need Urgent Help Please

[tomtubby]

You need to ensure that you resend the Out of Time Declaration. This can be done even though you have paid the bailiff. If the application is refused, please post... back but in any event, you should appeal any refusal.

 

You need to WRITE back to the council and you should mark your letter as a FORMAL COMPLAINT and it should be addressed to the CHIEF EXECUTIVE. By doing this, your letter will be officially logged as a Complaint.

 

Whilst writing, you need to address the matter of the lack of a Contract with Davies Enforcement and you should ask them to confirm whether they have a Service Level Agreement (SLA) and if so, when was it signed.

 

This matter most certainly warrants a Formal Complaint.

 

 

 

Have you resent the Out of Time Application. You really should be doing this.

Sadly - for those needing to contact an MP - you will only be able to do so until Sunday.

Monday sees the dissolution of Parliament when all MPs effectively stand down from the role [i presume constituency work is on pause]. Whilst paid until the election, they are not MPs per se until they are voted in again. [Parliament effectively stands empty during this period].

Best wishes

Hi Rae

 

Thanks. Perhaps MP's may do more as there is an election looming. I live in a conservative ward and MP is Labour, perhaps he may feel like trying to win more votes.

 

I cannot get over the fact that the council favor Davies Enforcement and are 3 times more likely to refer to them over other providers. My council is a member of something I think is called Kent parking. It is a consortium of neighboring local authorities who have chosen to use the same policies and procedures as all the other authorities to ensure parity in Kent. I will write to the other authorities under the Freedom of Information Act to see he breakdown of cases given to each baliff company. I will ask also how they allocate cases and see what comes back.

 

I will ring the Ombudsman tomorrow and ask them to investigate.

 

Thanks for all your help.

 

Best wishes

Is the SLA with Davies Enforcement or with Davies Enforcement LTD?

 

The Limited Company by this name was DISSOLVED in December 2008. They last filed accounts in 2004 !!! Google searches will also show that they were in business as certificated bailiffs.....

 

Any bailiff company collecting and banking money on behalf of a local authority should surely be expected to file accounts....

Thanks Rae,

 

I was not aware of this. I will contact my MP today at the houses of parliament email address. I did contact him before regarding another matter and he responded the very same day.

 

Kind Regards

Hi

 

Another user on this site advised me that Davies Enforcement are registered at companies house as Lockstock Limited trading as Davies Enforcement.

 

I have in the past written bids for local authority and central government contracts and fail to see how such a company would ordinarily get past a PQQ especially if it is the same company re-invented. Something feels very wrong and I will contact my MP today and make Freedom of Information requests to all the neighboring councils.

 

Why would a council refer 3 times as many cases to one company when there has been no competitive tendering exercise?

 

Kind regards

Hi

 

The saga complicates further.

 

Davies Enforcement are a trading name for Loxstock Limited. So we have Davies Enforcement a trading name for Lockstock Limited (company apparently dissolved for not filing accounts), Davies Enforcement dissolved in December 2008 for not filing accounts.

 

I am trying to search the records of companies house but am having difficulties with their site. I will try later.

 

It feels very strange.

Loxstock is also another name used by Davies Enforcement.

I have been in contact with my MP today and he responded straight away and is going to investigate the case.

 

I have found out that the London Borough of Richmond gave Davies Enforcement Limited a contract just 2 months before they were struck off in December 2008 for failing to submit returns for 4 years.

 

I have written to Richmond today to question why.

My PERSONAL opinion is this:

 

A bailiff company has a very unique position in that they can enter a debtors home ( peacefully) and remove goods and be paid for doing so. All of this is as a result of him being given a warrant that has been authorised by a Court. Any money he collects (after deducting his fees) is for the benefit of the local authority.

 

For this reason, I can see NO REASON whatsoever why any bailiff company would be allowed to get away with not filing accounts for even one year...let alone 3 years!!!
