bailiffs threatening over previous resident

[seduraed]

I have a former lodger who has recieved a parking fine. When he hired the car he gave address as his residence. He has since left and I have no idea of hiswhereabouts but suspect that he has returned home to columbia.

I have had communications from marstons who say they have a distress warrant and can break in . They have refused to accept the iddocuments i sent them. These are my driving licence and my current award certificate for tax credits. This is because I introdued myseld to themusing my middle christian name and all the official documents use my first christian name .

How do I convince them he's no longer resident , I have house full of foreign lnguage students , he was one of them.
What Should I do next ? I could really do without a bailiff calling nd trying to levy on the sutdents, things.

Only court bailiffs can visit and take stuff - if this lot havent been authorized by a court then ring the police if they show up.
I would also consider getting all the various authorities involved and contact your mp.

Have a read of this Parking Fine Guide - Legal Beagles Consumer Forum

Write to the bailiff company concerned, the Council which issued the PCN and the Court (if there is a court involved) stating that the person concerned resided at the address from xxx to xxx date, he has moved, you have no idea of a forwarding address, there are none of his possessions in your house etc. You may be able to do this via a Statutory Declaration and Witness Statement, have a good read of those in the guide mentioned above, which should make it clearer.

My error i put parking fine by accident, it was in fact a speeding ticket . I'm sure this changes the situation somewhat but I dont know how much .

Speeding tickets (Fixed Penalty Notices) are covered in the Parking Guide too.
