i ignored a parking charge notice and they have clamped my car

[wilsonwonder]

hello all

 

i really need help i had a pcn on my car a year or so ago and ignored it.

 

but today i went to me car and it was clamped!!

 

i rang the company that did this and they sent a young bailiff round to my house with a copy of a clamping order

when i started screaming and asked to see his certificate to my dismay he produced it

and was nice about everything which annoyed me no end

 

they say i have 24 hours to pay the 285 or they will remove the car and store it for five days then sell it

 

after reading some things on here i seen a popal appeal?

which what i can gather is part of the bpa but there nit a member and do not have to conform to there rules

any help would be apperciated

you sure this is a private parking ticket not a

PENALTY CHARGE NOTICE

 

 

clamping for private tickets was outlawed long ago.

aparenty after lots of research i have found out that a bailiff can apply for a section 38 clamping order and its a court order and the company is privately own there part of a flash ticking company. i have never heard of it before and how do i apply if they are not part of the bpa

 

thanks

A Clamping Order under Section 38 of the Courts Act 2003 is part of a series of measures referred to on a Further Steps Notice for an unpaid Magistrates Court fine.

if you have not had a court claim / CCJ against you they cannot.

They CANNOT apply for a Section 38 order for a private ticket. Has this been to Court and you have ignored it?

Exactly. You really need to dig a lot deeper into this. DO NOT pay them unless you really owe the money.

what paperwork do you have please?

Who's the Bailiff Co?

Hmm....

Let's start again from the beginning -

 

- who issued the PCN? A Council, Police or a private firm. OR another way

- where was the car when the PCN was issued? In the street or private land/car park.

 

Did the bailiff/clamper leave any paperwork saying who he was acting for?

 

Once we know that starting point we can progress along the correct chain of events to try to at least understand what has been going on and make suggestions from there.
