Hi all,
I hope you can help with yet another case involving JBW Group bailiffs; they're chasing me over a LB Bexley PCN which occurred in September last year. The parking fine was for being stopped on a yellow line outside a Tesco Express, but before the attendant had written out the PCN, I had got in the car and driven off (was only stopped to use an ATM and the car was still running). I appealed on the grounds that it wasn't a contravention and the ticket hadn't been put on my screen. The appeal got rejected and to be honest, from there I ignored all further correspondence from LB Bexley. I do own the property and I had my car registered there at the time, but I haven't actually lived there for over 3 years. I sold the car a month after the PCN was issued and haven't had a car registered there since, nor do I own anything at the property as it is rented out. As I only pick up mail there once in a blue moon, I wasn't aware of the fact that things had moved on a stage until I picked up the last batch of mail!
Recently, hand delivered letters from JBW Group have been put through the door of my old address threatening bailiff action if I don't pay what now amounts to £511.64 (!!!) and this is obviously scaring the tenants. I rang JBW Group saying I don't live there, I don't own any possessions there and haven't got a car registered there but they said they will continue to post the letters despite my claims.
I also rang Bexley who don't want to know anything about the case as it has now been passed onto JBW, so I will first write to them to request copies of the PCN and all correspondence as I no longer have any of it. This will be sent to my home address in Ireland.
My questions are:
a) how do I put off JBW Group?
b) can they harrass the tenants, enter the property and take any of their possessions?
c) how far will JBW Group go if I continue to ignore their letters? CCJ, other means of retrieving payment etc?
d) can I retrospectively go back and appeal the whole process with London Borough of Bexley or another body who is willing to come to a reasonable outcome for me?
e) if I now live overseas (Ireland), can JBW Group/Bexley chase me there?
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry if the story is too complicated! I just want to give the tenants peace of mind and close this out, but I am not paying anyone an extortionate amount of money for what was a ridiculous fine in the first place. I would rather go to prison!
