If you had an appeal in process then the bailiff is prohibited from enforcing under the civil procedure rules !! If this information by you is correct, then you should not have been charged any fees for this visit. In addition, you need to apply for a copy of the screen shot of your account. You are legally entitled to this. This will provide you with a breakdown of the fees. Finally, did you check whether the individual was certificated. If you want to know please send me a message.

I found this forum after having yet another serious complaint into our office concerning the activities of one particular bailiff company that resulted in the client having his car sold without his knowledge and questions being asked about the contents that were in the vehicle worth over ?5k. In the client's case she never received the original parking ticket from Southwark or any of the subsequent following statutory documents as it would appear that they had all been sent to her previous address. There is now ongoing action about this case but from reading the questions on this forum it is clear that the public do know know of their rights if this same thing has happened to them. If you did not receive the original ticket or following documents then there is a very SIMPLE form that the owner can complete that is FREE. This is an Out of Time late Statutory Declaration. Thousands of these are sent to the Traffic Enforcement Officer. The application is FREE but the declaration requires that you have your signature witnessed. This can be done in the County Court which is free or in front of a solicitor with a fee of around ?5. If anyone has already paid a bailiff or worse...had a car clamped, removed or even sold and that person had never received the parking ticket then the above application MUST be done. If succesful, this will revoke the warrant allowing you to claim a refund from the local authority/bailiff for the fees and charges previously paid or for a car that has ben sold. Any questions, please ask. There is further info here: www.bailiffadviceonline.co.uk
