bristow & sutor bailiffs - help needed

[leejc]

I have two issues that need sorting. firstly ill start with a parking ticket I received last year and didn't pay due to a financial situation, anyway as time went by the pcn went up to £105, £70 plus 50% of the original pcn, it then got passed over to Bristow & Sutor to handle and they sent out a letter which if correct should have bumped the cost to £123.44, break it down £105 pcn plus £5 court fee plus £11.20 letter plus vat £13.44 total £123.44, anyway my letter I receive says I have 7 days to pay the sum of £334.24 so that's a £229.24 jump from what was £105 for what? I don't know. last week comes and 2 bailiffs knock on my door and I don't answer, they post an envelope through the door containing what they are charging me which bumped the cost to £519.05, this is a charge of £76.81 for his visit plus £90 for 2 men and a van plus vat £18 total visit charge £184.81. now that's out the way I can get to the point, correct me where im wrong but the charge from research should stand at £123.44 leaving a staggering £395.61 in charges but anyway from researched I stumbled upon some info that stated if the bailiffs were not able to levy on your goods then they could not charge you for a visit, is this correct, what letters would you advice on sending to them as I don't really want a breakdown of costs or would this letter be your first step and wait for a reply followed by Rights & Your Refusal of Peaceful Entry by Bailiffs from this site http://www.consumerwiki.co.uk/index....mplate_Letters stating that I will pay the sum of £123.44 adding in a note to looks at the supplied example letter http://www.dealingwithbailiffs.co.uk/examplepcnfee.htm.

second issue. another pcn from last year which was paid off in full after a bailiff caught me out cleaning my car outside and asked if it was mine and I replied no its my dads im cleaning it for him, anyway he doesn't know what to say and hands me an envelope, I open it and shat bricks not knowing anything I do now, paid the fine in full, £314.44, same as above cost was £70 plus 50% £105 plus £5 court fee plus letter from Bristow & sutor £123.44 from my working outs, charged £108 for man and vehicle total £231.44 plus his visit charge £52.80 totals £284.24 leaves £30.20 unknown charge, no levy on any goods means no charge but I got charged, what form do I use to claim back the money from that which should be £191 if my working outs are correct and also if they are can I get him done for fraud from what I read from research?

Have to go out for a couple of hours, but will be back later and respond. Meanwhile, click bailiff tab at top of page and read relevant part of sticky on Parking Offences. I think from a cursory glance Letter 1 from Useful Letters stick may be needed as well. Will look properly on my return.

Re: bristow & sutor bailiffs - help needed

You can begin to get this sorted tomorrow by sending Letter 1 from here:

http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...Useful-Letters

I don't understand why you don't want a breakdown of fees when that is what much of your post complains about.

You also need to read the link I posted earlier, if you haven't already, and follow the advice for PCN's.

As for dealingwithbailiffs.co.uk , I suggest strongly you make a choice before you embark on any particular course as the two sites will take very different approaches indeed. The fact that I post here shows where I think you should go, but it has to be your choice. :beagle:

Re: bristow & sutor bailiffs - help needed

also from reading through what you told me to read through I don't get the idea of what I am meant to be doing as it says to use the template letter to send for private but my tickets were from officers who work for the council themselves cheers

Re: bristow & sutor bailiffs - help needed

Send the letter to Bristow & Sutor.

Re: bristow & sutor bailiffs - help needed

so wait for there reply of the breakdown for fees then go on to sending them the letter and await another reply, sorry to keep been a pain but does it make a difference that mine was a penalty charge notice and not a parking charge notice and that where is says to delete as appropriate all of them have to be deleted for me and would I need to be sending the letter when it says LETTER TO THE PARKING COMPANY OR PRIVATE APPEALS SERVICE

Re: bristow & sutor bailiffs - help needed

Let's do one step at a time. Send that letter and meanwhile follow the advice given in the link I gave you earlier about Parking Offences. That explains what to do.
