Hey guys
Unfortunately this has been a long time coming as I’ve been ignoring the costs of the ulez charges adding up and burying head in sand as one does .. looking back I definitely wouldn’t.
to put into perspective on one specific vehicle the charges are probably close to 15k.
I’ve read up a lot, I understand I don’t have to open my door or let the enforcement officer in. we have had a decent enough conversation , I’ve made him aware of my situation ( renting, bills etc). I was in employment for last 10/11 months on 23k salary but I’ve handed in notice and looking for a new job so at this moment in time unemployed but hopefully won’t last long.
my problem is in the past I have set up arrangement plans and stuck to them for 2-3 months before it’s unaffordable.
he asked for a payment of £1050, I said I can’t. He said that plus £260 a month I said it’ll be unaffordable. He left and said recovery will start inevitably. I should have said how without a CGA in place looking back.
Now I’ve written to my councillors a hour ago, online via the write to them website. Is there anything else I am able to do? I have asked them to take the cases back as it’ll be like trying to take blood from a stone and I’d rather work with the council than ignore any longer.
im not really worried as I know it isn’t magistrates related but I do want the enforcement activity at property to stop. The vehicle was parked on the drive way but it is on a HP / he didn’t bother to ask but I bet he did check it anyway. The house is rented which he did ask about.
My guess is they will keep trying for the time being? Obviously keep the door locked at all times as they can’t force entry anyway. But any other advice or solution would definitely help
thanks guys
