Bailiffs took my car, council gave wrong information.

[mad at task]

can someone please help

 

on the 25th march I received a enforcement order saying I owed £140 for a parking ticket in the LB Lewisham

 

I have no knowledge of this parking fine so

 

I wrote to task enforcement and LB Lewisham.

 

I received a letter back from task saying the parking ticket was for LB Barnet and not LB Lewisham

and I needed to pay it by 21 November 2013 even thou the letter they wrote back was march 2014

 

I called LB Lewisham who told me to speak to task.

 

i called task who Informed me the systems was down till 8th April and could not check their systems till after this date and to call back then.

 

on the 8th April at 8.30am task enforcement attended my property and

 

informed me I had to pay £420 pound now or they would remove my car.

 

I called task enforcement who said as the bailiff was at my door

 

I would have to deal with the bailiff

 

I said you told me to call back to today about ticket

 

but they said ill have to deal with bailiff.

 

the bailiff gave me no option but to pay or he would remove my car.

 

how can this be right when they told me to different councils parking fine was for and wrong date on letter.

 

what do I do now how do I gat my money back.

I moved your post mat and started a thread of your own with the subject heading - Bailiffs took my car, council gave wrong information.

Can we start at the beginning.

 

This was a parking PCN issued by Lewisham Council? Is that correct?

 

What paperwork were you sent by them? You mention an "Enforcement Order" - is that the correct name for the document you received? Did you receive anything else?

Your query is not too easy to understand (and this is not helped by the dates etc). Would you mind posting back (and this time break break the question down so that it does not appear as one block of text.

 

Did you receive any of the statutory notices from the Council?

 

If so, did you appeal the ticket?

 

If the answer to both questions is NO, then it is most likely the case that the notices from the council had gone to the WRONG address. Have you moved address? If so, have you updated your records at DVLA?

 

Did you receive a breakdown of fees today from the enforcement agent? If so, would you please list the amounts. What forms did the agents give to you?

Sounds like someone has been stockpiling Warrants?
