bristow & sutor unknown Birmingham PCN, now Bailiffs - help

[Googley2]

I have received a letter "Enforcement Process Commenced for a penalty charge notice to Birmingham City Council

for which I know nothing about.

 

I am now stressed wondering whats its all about.

 

The NOtice of enforcement says I owe BCC £97 but sum outstanding is £407.

 

A warrant was issued 08-10-15 which I have never received or even know whats its for.

 

How can I get a stop put to this while I find out much more information about whats going on

and why I have never received any other correspondence or court papers?

 

Please give link to relevant document/process so I can sort it out this weekend if you know of one.

 

Also BCC is not local to me it takes me a hours drive.

 

Do I have to go there or can I go to my local magistrates courts?

 

Thanks for any assistance.

so did you ever goto Birmingham in October last years

and park somewhere you shouldn't

Please move to General Bailiff Forum.

 

Dates:

What date did you receive this?

What date is on Notice of Enforcement?

What date have they given you to comply with?

 

Again I note Bailiffs have already added the Enforcement Fee - assume it is Equita.

Have you moved address ?

 

Have you updated your address with DVLA?

I occasionally go to Birmingham but I have never had a parking notice, I am very careful where I park and I always display a disability badge. I have received no tickets I know off.

I moved house about 2 years ago, the address has been updated with the DVLA but they lost the original and I had to renew it several months ago.

 

I received it today (23-04-16). The Notice of Enforcement is dated 21-04-2016 but details say warrant issued 07 Oct 2015!

There is no date to comply on the papers.

The baliffs are Bristow & Sutor.

I think that you will find that this is where your problem stems from.

 

You need to speak with the council on Monday and ask them to confirm the address where the Notice to Owner, Charge Certificate and Order for Recovery were sent to.

 

 

I suspect that you will find that all these statutory notices had been sent to your previous address.

If so, then your only option is to complete an Out of Time witness statement with the Traffic Enforcement Centre.

 

 

We can address that matter after you have spoken with the council.

I have now had more details from the Bailiffs and Birmingham Council,

 

 

apparently I went into a bus lane and didnt know it at the time,

there is video footage of it so cant dispute that.

 

 

They have confirmed that all post went to my old address until April this year.

 

 

I have been sent Form PE2 and PE3 to complete and take to court tomorrow to get witnessed.

 

 

I have ticked the box I never received it and attaching proof of the date I moved house (March 2014).

 

 

Is there any other wording I should use on the PE2 or PE3 form or is it just pretty standard?.

 

 

The Council have put the Bailiffs on hold for 14 days while I get it sorted.

The wording that you need to provide is not standard at all and each case is completely different. Also, it is very important to get the document completed properly because a high percentage are rejected. If it is rejected, you can seek a review but the problem with this is that there is a court fee to pay of £255 (or £100 if you opt to have the review considered 'without a hearing').

 

If the application is rejected, you will be in the very same position that you are in today. Accordingly, it is important to get the correct wording.

 

Did you update your address details with DVLA (V5c).

 

If so, when roughly was this done?
