The debt is for a London parking contravention (hence the debt being £512). If you had not received any of the previous notices, then it will almost certainly be the case that all notices had been sent to a previous address.

Have you moved home in the past year or so?

Did you update your V5C with DVLA when you moved?

If you had not received any previous notices, then the correct route is for you to submit an Out of Time witness statement with the Traffic Enforcement Centre. All bailiff enforcement will then be halted for a few weeks whilst your application is considered.

You cannot submit the application without having details of the contravention and the PCN number. I would suggest that you call the local authority first thing in the morning. You need to ask them what address they had been sending all notices to.

Hi Milo,

We moved in Dec 2014 for 6months and changed the V5C document to that address .
But we moved again in June2015 And as you mentioned we genuinely forgot to update V5C with DVLA until April 2016.
we are living at the same address since June 2015 till date.
Not sure what should i do now, its a honest mistake that slipped out of mind.
So that could be the reason.

We do not have any details of contravention and PCN number. So emailed the London Borough for the details.

I shall update here.
Please may i know how to correctly draft the Out of Time Witness statement with Traffic Enforcement Centre .

Many Thanks for all your help,
Kind regards.

Re: Enforcement Letter , Visit to Premises , Please Advice me .

Hi All,

An update on our case.

We got the PCN number from council.
Looked up on website.
Yes it was Bus lane offence , but was from End of 2015
They said, they sent letters and reminders - which we haven't received.
I can understand till April 2016 the correspondence went to old address, but they denied sending to old address, and confirmed that they sent to new address.(Honestly haven't received one, God knows where they went.)
The council passed on to Debt Collection Agency. (Newlyn Plc)
Newlyn customer services said they sent reminder last year September ( Again we didn't receive)
Newlyn said £277 outstanding, if we pay that off, they would cancel everything against us. Other wise a CCJ (I don't know what it is)
would be issued.
It all felt quite intense and I wanted to end that.
And WE DID PAY £277.
But, asked for evidence, which they don't have. (But as I saw on council website, I didn't stress to send me one)
I have asked them to send the Receipt, Case closure letter and everything else they have.(Just to document), which they said , they would.
So that is it.

Thanks for your help.
Regards.
