Help with Barking and Dagenham council and JBW baliffs

[john935]

I had my car clamped today which is on PCP finance by JBW baliffs with regard to a ticket received in January 2019. The only problem is I appealed the original ticket which was for a bus lane contravention and I did not hear anything back from the council. I also emailed the council despite not hearing back from them and did not recieve any response.

I assumed the matter was closed until today. When JBW clamped my car they informed me that barking and dagenham had been sending all correspondence regarding my ticket to number 63 whereas I live at 69 hence none of the original correspondence had been received myself. I had to pay the £513 to release the clamp as I needed the car for work I was just wondering if i can claim the money back as the scenario was not my fault.
Thanks for any help.

Also shouldn't JBW have written, and ensured they had written to correct address, before making a visit?
A complaint to them might not be amiss, altho' probably not achieve anything!
