  • Excel scum and Court Fine

    Hi all,

    My wife paid for car tax by cheque a little while ago sadly due to an enexpected bill the cheque bounced. She was told to either pay again or return the tax disk (when it was still paper). She returend the disk but they said they didn't have it and she would be summonsed to court. She contacted the court and told them it had been sent and in fact she had since paid for her tax again. The court were uninterested and she was given a £264.59 fine.Again she protested that it had been returned and she had bought more tax shortly after but they remained of the mind she was using two tax disks for the same car. She heard nothing more from court until Excel Scum sent a letter for the £264.59 plus their Compliance Fee of £75.00 a total of £339.59 is now due.

    My reason for writing is to find out if their is a) a way around the court decision and what process should they have followed is seeking payment from my wife and b) is there any way around scumbag charges?

    thanks in advance

    The fees are correct and came into force on 6th April. The fees can be limited to the £75 by contacting Excel before the end date on the Notice of Enforcement to make a payment arrangement.

    If you fail to respond during the 'Compliance Stage' then the case moves to the Enforcement Stage and an additional fees of £235 will be charged.

    The matter of the court fine is difficult given that from your post you state that your wife had contacted the court to object about the offence and objected again after the fine has been made.

    I am assuming from what you have said that your wife responded to the summons. In which case, the Magistrates took your wife's objections into consideration but still issued a fine.

    You wife cannot file a Statutory Declaration given that she clearly knew of the case a while ago and had been in correspondence with the court.

    Before the case can go to Excel there is a legal duty on the court to issue a Further Steps Notice. If your wife did not receive this she needs to contact the court asap.

    As stated above, it is very important to ensure that the account does does escalate to the 'Enforcement stage'.

      Too late now. she's been convicted, just because you do not agree with the Court and ignored the Order of Payment, the whole thing is costing you an extra £75.00

      Pay within the timescale o the letter or you will be charged a further £235.00 and get all the hassle that a visit from an Enforcement Agent will cause you.
      The Black rat (Rattus rattus) is a common (hence the accusation of being Pleb) long-tailed rodent of the genus Rattus (rats) in the subfamily Murinae (murine rodents). The species originated in tropical Asia and spread through the Near East in Roman times (another thing that we ought to thanks the Romans for, besides roads, aqueducts and public toilets) before reaching Europe by the 1st century and spreading with Europeans across the world.

      A mutation of the beast now comes black leather clad, riding a motorcycle that looks like a battenbergh cake on wheels.

      A skilled predator, totally ruthless with it's prey, but also known to be extremely generous in doling out tickes that can provide points for motorists who want to downsize from mechanically propelled vehicles to bycicles.



      It's a dirty job, but someone got to do it!
