Parking tickets, change of address....

[jessicat]

Hi,

 

I have received 4 parking tickets over 4 days because even though I had a guest permit for the days after my permit had ran out I hadn't written the car reg in this little box on the guest permits.. arrrrgh!!!

 

Anyway I am moving house this week and I do not need a permit at my new address, so I was wandering can I just run away from the tickets?? How will they know where I now live?? I realise that I probably will not be able to get another permit in the borough with the same car but that doesn't concern me.

 

I have been thinking about ways they could track me down.. could they use my council tax? As I gave them my previous address when registering at new place (in the same borough) could they phone my car insurers? Could they contact the DVLA?

 

Can anyone help please?? I am appealing the tickets to stall for some time but they probably will reject my appeal.

 

Thanks

If they are council tickets, the council won't try and track you down. If your appeal is unsuccessful and they are not paid, the council instruct bailiffs who will track you down - and add their fees!!

You can run but you cannot hide!! Its easier to sort out the PCNs now if they are Council ones by appealling or paying if you ignore them they will at least double and more likely triple.

Yep, as advised. Bailiffs will make it their business to come and find you.

 

I don't agree they will probably reject the appeal. I think there is a good chance they will cancel three of the four. You'll need to make a point of getting their reply, as it will presumably go to your current address. Whatever they say, I would not advise running.
