Notice of Seizure of my car from Bristow and Sutor - council PCN - invalid fees

[salrob]

Hi i really hope someone can help me as Im at my wits end...

 

This morning at 11am I had a visit from a bristow and sutor bailiff,

 

I was upstairs watching a film with my son and his two friends when we heard the loud knock at the door.

 

I instinctively knew it was a bailiff and didnt want to answer the door.

Then I heard the door opening.

 

My friend who was here with his two sons ran down and told the bailiff I wasnt in.

 

He left a notice of removal expenses list and a notification of visit with charges of 243.61 added for his visit today.

 

Then this evening at 7pm my friend used the car to drop his two boys home,

he is named on the policy to bring the premium down.

 

When he went outside the bailiff was still there,

he followed him to his sons home and blocked the car in the road,

he informed him that he was going to be siezing the car tonight,

to which my friend told him he wasnt.

 

My friend then drove the car back to my house and told me what had happened.

 

Then a letter dropped through the door with a notcie of seizure and an inventory of goods,

naming the car as the good siezed only thing is he hasnt taken the car?

Im so confused as to what this means.

 

I am a single parent on income support and have no way of paying these ridiculous charges they keep heaping on me.

 

I just dont know what to do or where I stand now..

 

.Ive been trying to get hold of CAB since this happened but there is noone available.

 

I really hope someone can help me.

 

Thanks Sally.

is the car yours and not on finance?

 

WHAT is the bailiff chasing?

[salrob]

The car is mine and not on finance.

He is chasing what started out as 200 parking charges and now the cost has sky rocketed up to 756

[salrob]

Here are the charges outlined

Parking Penalty Charge #1 - 122.00 Letter Fee - 13.44 Attendance to Levy Fee - 177.61

Parking Penalty Charge #2 - 82.00 Letter Fee - 13.44 Attendance to Levy Fee - 136.80

plus a charge of 216.00 for costs incurred in attending to remove goods.

so a council PCN..

 

those letter fees are invalid

 

and unless he attended with a car transporter

 

the last fee is invalid too.

So what should I do now? He's going to come back and try and take my car isnt he? Ive been trying to read up online on where I stand. as a single parent in receipt of benefits am I classed as a vulnerable person?

[dx100uk]

yes you are.

 

await the troops in the morning.

 

go put your car a good 10 mins away from your house or put it in a locked garage out of sight.

 

not behind any garden gates.

The car is away from the house now - what should I do tomorrow?? contact the council and B&S. Will 'vulnerability' stop them from taking the car?

 

I wish troops were coming to help me lol

[dx100uk]

yep

contact the council

 

clearly venerable

 

tel them to call the wolves off.

 

you are under no legal obl to talk or entertain the bailiffs

 

just tell them if you wish

 

you are venerable and they are to contact the council.

 

all charges etc etc should be cancelled.

 

sleep tight.

[salrob]

Thank you. Do you by any chance know which department of the council I should call. Im so nervous about talking to them.

No sleep for me tonight I dont think. Just want it to be the morning so I can try and sort this horrible mess out

[brassnecked]

Parking and enforcements possibly, above all do not worry explain you are vulnerable, and if they do not call offf the dogs send a Formal Complaint marked as such to council CEO, Leader, local council;lor and MP.

I do not want to apepar judgmental but is there a reson why you had not paid these earlier ( moved house, appealed the ticket etc)?

 

Also, how much roughly is the car worth and is it on finance?
