Re: Marston Group
Who was the original fine from?
Has he provided proof that the vehicle is subject to finance? If not, he should do this immediately.
They cannot remove a car that does not belong to the debtor and if the vehicle is on finance, it doesn't belong to him. If, on the other hand, the vehicle was bought with a personal loan, then this is different entirely.
Has he asked for a breakdown of the fees charged, if not, he needs to do this as soon as possible. You should have a read of this and send the SAR contained within Bailiff Guide - Legal Beagles Consumer Forum

Re: Marston Group
Have they already levied on the car?
Has he been visited by the bailiffs?
Has he signed anything?
Has anything been posted through his door?
What kind of work does he do and would it be possible for him to use public transport if the car were removed?

Re: Marston Group
Did they levy on anything else and did they enter the property?
You, or rather he, will have to send the Subject Access Request in the link I gave you earlier and add a sentence in to ask when Guildford Council decriminalised their parking, but since the claim came from a County Court, they are lying about an arrest warrant.

Re: Marston Group
ok many many thanks Amy, will pass on all info,, but got feeling , he will try and get loan, as he cant take a risk with his job,, and needs car to get there, so then he will have to make claim to get a refund,, am sure thats why these companys do so well,, its the sheer fear they give to people,,over £2000 for a silly parking fine,, so unfair,, but thanks you so much for helping
