Hi everyone,
I am new to this but in need of some advice on the following.
I have been issued a notice of enforcement at my previous property by a bailiff company serving a warrant for an outstanding parking fine. This fine was issued back in October 2012. I received notification from the bailiff company on the 11/7/2014.
Having no knowledge of the previous parking fine, yet confirming with the council that I had actually been issued the fine, I was able to pay the fine via the councils automated system successfully. This suggested that this May of compromised the agreement between council and baliff company as once it is passed on the council can no longer accept direct payment. With this said, the council were excellent in ensuring that the warrant was returned by the company and that my case was closed with them. (Verbal confirmation received by the admin at the bailiff company).
Now, the bailiff that was enforcing the warrant spoke with me on the phone. He told me that I had no choice but to pay all charges to him including £235 for him attending the property (something he could only confirm verbally). Once I informed him that the matter was closed with his company and that the warrant had been returned, he still threatened to collect the £235 charge for visiting my property.
Can he still do this? The fine has been settled with the council and the bailiff company have no longer got the warrant to enforce. I am still worried that he may look for me to recover this apparent charge.
Any advice would be useful, perhaps I am panicking and I apologise if I haven't been too clear.
Many thanks in advance for any help on this or for even reading the post.
