Just had a Bailiff visit

[x bailiff]

Ring the bailiff tell him knock off the visit fee as they all have descretion to deal with fees if they so want although they will say they don't and its the company

Hi thanks for the responses,

Yes this is for a parking fine

Calling the bailiff and asking for the visit fee to be knocked off is most likely what would be the best thing to do However thats only because we live in a country where a bailiff can lie and cheat and then if he/she is spotted doing something wrong just ignore the lie's ? And pay the fine! This would be like blackmail, as if its his right to con people because they live in fear of the fine increasing and or because one day they really will try and make contact.

There is no justice in calling him and saying i know what his game is so knock off the Fake fee's and all is ok.

If from one visit an ambulance was called then what several visits later? Maybe you aren't as unwell as you make out and just want to carry on venting your anger at bailiffs rather than resolve the issue in the first place.

Goodluck

Many apologies as post not meant for you as i was trying to keep things realistic for someone and we all make mistakes. Left the job in April but really left along time ago and as i had worked in the debt industry for 20yrs then some things are hard to leave behind. My intentions are to give advice and in some cases it isn't always going to meet with rave reviews but it will be honest and real time.

contact the CAB they say and it will be put on hold(wrong), depends who you speak to at the council and whether they have a good rapour with the bailiff concerned or not but from the bailiffs point of view(me)they want as little hassle as possible so will negotiate and others are just complete bastards!! having a bad month, put waiting time on, say its double the van/attendance fee for a colleague turning up that they were going to meet for a coffee anyway, anything and evrything to justify the fees, i have been caught uo in it myself so know most the tricks of the trade.

Just had a fake visit from a bailiff company featured on exposure Now the fine has on up nearly £320 so its doubled!!

How bad are these companies? only monday the show went on air and its wednesday now and they are still taking advantage.

The letter that was left by the bailiff clearly states that because of todays visit the fine HAS increased £320 yet there was no effort to ring the bell or contact anyone..

 

Not yet going to state which company it is orwho the bailiff is as first i will complain to the company the council and the court that issued this fraudster with his cert

 

I didn't deal so much with parking fines but the council are aware of the charges and you can ask for a breakdown of fees and if they are charging for bogus visits then ask for proof as most cars have trackers and failing that they use pen forms linked to their phones which send a gps location when the bailiff sends it through as this was a requirement from most councils as many people said they had never had a visit and they were probably right so ask for proof and be adamant as and they may back down somewhat and you can get this resolved, speak to the council and ask what they should be charging and most councils are linked up to bailiffs website so they can review cases so they will see if you have had previous visits bogus or not but.

or try frightening the bailiff with a form4 for excessive charging, no bailiff wants this and will turn the most hardened into a squeaky girl!!
