Marston and clamping of MOb Car for Council PCN - HELP

[jeli]

Hi Everyone,

 

My family and I would really appreciate any assistance/advice re the local council and bailiffs I think they've enlisted.

 

Feeling very demoralized, no matter which way I approach the local authority, the result is the same.

 

 

.. the continuation of their policies and my experience of complete helplessness.

 

Hope I can receive some guidance in this matter

[jeli]

Thanks for that speedy response citizenB.

 

In summary,

I'm disabled and have been,

am being hounded in what I consider to be unreasonable circumstances by the local authority.

 

 

I got so demoralized with meetings I initiated with them and "hoop jumping exercises" they asked me to partake in,

that I stopped communicating with them.

 

Earlier this week,

I went to the Motability vehicle I use,

only to find Marston stickers in the middle of the driver and passenger windows stating that

...'He, the bailiff, had done this (clamped the vehicle), because of an outstanding sum that had not been paid'.

 

 

Strange thing though, there wasn't a clamp on the vehicle so I was quite bemused.

 

 

The only thing that came to mind was that even though my Blue badge wasn't on the dashboard,

he,they(??) must have viewed the disabled tax disc and removed the clamp

but left the stickers informing me of his/their intended actions.

 

 

I have to say that this is mere presumption on my part, I do not know if that was the case.

I just can't fathom it, why else would they remove the clamp?

 

 

The most annoying aspect of this behavior... I hadn't received ANY correspondence whatsoever from Marston indicating their intended actions!

 

 

They just came out and tried to claim the vehicle.

 

Apologies if I've gone on a little more than should be necessary... I'm still seething.

 

 

The council sold on a presumed debt with no intention to address the root cause of initial PCN issuance,

a matter I've made them (council) acutely aware of.

When you're the little man, it appears you have no say or sway.

 

I feel like I've dodged a bullet whilst they've gone away to regroup,

 

 

but since the 21st Oct when this incident happened until today,

 

 

I've really been on edge.

 

 

Like many, I struggle with depression but I'm not sure I can attach my reticence to involve myself with them on that..

 

 

. I just feel worn out if I'm honest.

 

Thanks for the welcome

Thank you dx100uk, just being able to express myself to empathetic ears is encouraging.

[dx100uk]

so this is for an unpaid Council Penalty Charge Notice

 

 

and the Council have now passed it to Marstons?

 

 

they don't 'sell' PCN's on

[jeli]

I believe that's the crux of it dx, as mentioned, I've not received any correspondence from Marston in respect of the issue outlined, so I'm unclear re the nature of their involvement.

[dx100uk]

that's ok

 

 

if you can

please give us a brief outline of the history please

 

 

you say you've had meetings etc?

 

 

a full history would be wise.

[jeli]

Happy to do so dx. If you'll please be patient with me, I'm not home at present but when I get in, I'll have access to all the relevant paperwork which will enable me to give a more complete and accurate account of my circumstances. If I'm able to redact and post, I think the letters might be informative.

 

Thanks for offering your time and experience dx (...and citizenB), I'll post as soon as I'm able.

[citizenB]

Well for sure they cant clamp or otherwise impound your Motability vehicle for a PCN. I will send out an S.O.S on your behalf to those who might be able to help further.

 

They might not pop in immediately... but you will receive help.. so try not to stress out

[ploddertom]

Did you know about the original PCN?

Have you moved since it was made?

Have you ever received any other communication from the Council asking for ever increasing amounts of money?
