Hi all. Sorry for this 1st post but I am a little confused regarding these people.
Excuse the long thread
I had a letter from the police regarding an outstanding amount, £8.49 ish!
I paid online in February, yet I had the police come to my house to supposedly arrest me for non payment of this and only this.
I was out at the time but rang them regarding the matter.
I do remember another letter saying I owe £80 but didn't have the money at the time to pay
Today they rang back and said sorry, but the courts are behind with their paperwork and it has actually been paid. I also asked about the £80 but they knew nothing of this
NOW..before this I had a letter hand delivered late at night, but I was at work on shifts from Philips Collection Services Ltd saying I owed them?? £260ish towards fines not paid.
Today..after I had come back from an interview ( Ford laid temps off last week, myself being one of them ) I have come back to another letter stating I owe £460 and that in the inventory there is a car that does NOT belong to me on it.
It belongs to some one else in the house.
I got through to the original court and asked them what I owed. They said 2 outstanding amounts of £80 each. I said can I pay this now but they said no as it had gone to Philips. I said I was not prepared to pay them £300 for nothing. They guy at the court said dont and it will be returned to court and I will only have to pay the £160 due. I also told them about the car not being mine on the inventory. They said if they take it then it would be theft, which is correct. Seems weird that any car could be parked outside, on the drive or street could be taken because they think it is mine. Surely they should do their homework and find that out 1st?
Should I contact them, or let them come back for yet another wasted journey? Or even better still report them to the police in case they do take/steal the wrong vehicle?
