NOTICE OF ENFORCEMENT X 2 but no knowledge?

[Jimmydoc]

Hello everyone,

I have just joined the group to seek help if possible!!

 

This morning I received two notices of Enforcement From a Company called Marston addressed to my correct name and address.

 

 

Collection is on behalf of Waltham Forest Council for motoring offences in a vehicle I have no knowledge of, in a City I have not driven in for 20 years.

 

 

Called Marstons this morning and they told me it has been through the courts in my name from an address I have never lived at last year,

 

 

and the 2x £278.00 outstanding Sums must be paid by 10-08-17.

 

 

They then advised me to get a report or Incident number from Police and Action Fraud and to relay the information to them.

 

Does anyone know what I really need to be doing...

 

 

..Thanks in advance everyone.

Before getting to this very late stage, you should have received 3 notices from Waltham Forest (Notice to Owner, Charge Certificate and Order for Recovery). From your post it is evident that you had not received any of the notices.

 

Almost certainly, you should be submitting an Out of Time witness statement to the Traffic Enforcement Centre but before even considering step a step, it is vitally important that you call the local authority on Monday to make enquiries. Thankfully, your account is still within the 'compliance' period with Marston Holdings and a personal visit cannot take place until after 10th August.

 

Having access to the vehicle registration number, you should be able to view the alleged contravention on Waltham Forest's website.

BA Op says not their motor, and not been there for years, so how can OOT help if not driver or keeper?

 

Perhaps this is a faulty trace, as in the wrong Mr Jones. Have you ever owned or driven the vehicle the PCN is issued to?

The OOT should be a last resort if the local authority fail to address the complaint. I would hope that the council will intervene on Monday.

 

The only way in which a warrant can be 'set aside', is by submitting an OOT. The OP would need to tick Box 1 (Did not receive a Notice to Owner). He can then state on the form that he only knew of this penalty when he received a letter from Marston's etc.

 

He can then state on the form something like this:

 

If I had of received the Notice to Owner, I would have responded to make representation to London Borough of Waltham Forest on the basis that the vehicle registration number quoted is not a vehicle that I have ever owned etc etc etc.

Hi Bailiff advice thanks for the quick response.

 

I read an out of time witness statement definition and its merit as to me not receiving any notices,

 

however as I was not responsible for the act what so ever I am not sure if it will serve me.

 

Also there will be an additional cost of £255 pound per late witness statement that is rejected.

 

I have tried to view the offence on Waltham Forests site but wont find out until they e-mail me results, that saying the reference number on my NOE may not be the coinciding number of the PCN as I have no access to prior references to the contravention.

 

How would the evidence help? I am not sure.

 

Yes Platinum

I have not lived at the original address that Marstons say the court proceedings were processed from at any time ever.

 

 

Marstons advised me to report to the police and Action Fraud?

They said get a crime report/ reference number.

 

 

Went to police and he said not their bag and give me contact for Action Fraud.

 

 

Marstons said relay information back to them before deadline ie when bailiffs were due.

The OOT will likely not be required as this penalty will probably turn out to be an error of some sort but you will need to wait a few days to find out.

 

However, if you fail to get a response before the compliance period ends, (10th August) then the OOT will become an option; not least, because it will place enforcement of the warrant 'on hold' for approx 6 weeks which should give you the necessary time to get to the bottom of this query.

Have you ever owned the vehicle in question? Past or present?

From the OP's opening post, the vehicle is not one that he has any knowledge of:

 

Collection is on behalf of Waltham Forest Council for motoring offences

in a vehicle I have no knowledge of,

in a City I have not driven in for 20 years.

 

PS: As I have mentioned in posts yesterday, I would expect this penalty to be an error which LB of Waltham Forest will sort out fairly swiftly.

Or 20 years ago, someone stole their identity or used it to register for various.

 

A relative of mine who is very careful about most things, found out from DVLA that someone had somehow gotten hold of paperwork related to driving licence, possibly renewal document. The relative had moved abroad, had to register abroad for a foreign licence and as part of the application process needed DVLA information. When DVLA provided the information, someone had registered the licence at a different UK address, that was nothing to do with my relative. Obviously DVLA were alerted to the issue found out.
