Hello everyone,
There is more to this tale however on this thread please may I have some advice on fees...
I received an enforcement order for a PCN for £110 from a bailiff agency. At this point I filed an Out Of Time report which came back refused. In the refusal letter from the courts it states "The response from the local authority with regards to your out of time application should have already been served to you" It hadn't but I had to go away for 4 weeks. I only mention this as it is the reason for not appealing the OOT decision - I would need to have all the information to hand to do this inc the letter form the council. Today however I find out in an email from the council that they had told the courts they would not be sending this letter to me. How was I to know this??
On returning from being away I find a Warrant of Execution from the bailiffs for £420. For right or wrong I paid the £110 to the bailiffs. I then emailed and sent a letter (with proof of postage) to the bailiffs asking for a breakdown of their fees. I heard nothing back.
I then write to the council explaining everything and in the meantime I receive a notice of intended seizure of goods for £223
In the same letter from the council today he says that he had been in touch with the bailiffs and they claim to have received neither letter or email regarding my breakdown of fees request. He asked them himself for a breakdown of fees and has sent it to me.
My main issues are -
Why are there differing amounts on the letters? Take the 110 that I paid from 420 and you are not left with 223.
I have been advised that the warrant of execution is not legal as it is not from the courts?
I have never seen or spoken to the bailiff and have signed nothing. The 3 letters attached are the only paperwork I have had so am I right in thinking they can not charge a levy and attendance fee as nothing has been levied?
Thank you in advance for any help and advice.
