Subject: £381 Dart Crossing Penalty charge notice Direct from CDER Group(Enforcement Agency)
Today I have received 2 letters from enforcement agency, I am quite surprised about the proposed formalities and payments. Just to clarify, this vehicle was not my vehicle (as it was never legally owned by me) and was a courtesy (temporary replacement) car, provided to us by our Insurance company via Spraytech Gagage, Post code: EN3 7BB- due to complications with my vehicle (R*****) which was, at the time, undergoing repairs.
On the 31/01/2020, we happened to cross the Datford bridge crossing with the curtesy vehicle(LS****), we never used the bridge previously, and therefore, we were not aware of paying the crossing charges. Additionally, we have never received any letter regarding the original penalty charge. This may have been due to our change in address, however, it is clearly written on my vehicle's (R*****) logbook that we changed our address on the 1/8/2019 .We had not received any letters regarding this matter until around 10 months after the incident occurred, with a direct notice straight from the CDER group (enforcement agency) and no warning/normal penalty prior.
I accept that I have to pay the original Dartford crossing charges both ways which I had missed unintentionally and if I would have received the first notice of penalty charges, I would have paid them immediately. However, I am still willing to pay the initial charges, but, I believe the current charges of £381 are Immensely unfair to me, especially when I am currently out of a job since 4 months, with 3 dependent children and wife.
As soon as i received the letter i contacted the Enforcement Agency and the lady started threatening me from the agency that some security people will come and forcefully take all my stuffs. The deadline is Tomorrow 26/11/2020. I will look forward for you suggestions, Your help and suggestions in the difficult time are much appreciated.
