JBW ridiculous charges

[Embob]

My step daughter parked in a parking bay which was in the same bay as London Council enforced parking and bought a ticket from the ticket machine only to return and find herself with a parking ticket. She then disregarded this as she had paid for a ticket. It now turns out she had JBW bailiffs knocking on the door of her mother threatening to remove items from that property as the ticket is now £565.34!! Whilst I know legally they can't enter and remove anything off that property her mother is in a panic over it. I'm pretty sure £565.34 is not legal for a ticket that she actually never received but would definitely appreciate some advice as to where she stands legally, ie whether they've bought the debt or if it's their land she's parked on and they're legally allowed to pursue her for a reasonable amount? You know not £565.34!!

Re: JBW ridiculous charges

Why are they knocking on the door of her mother - does she live with her?

It may help you to have a read of THIS, then come back with any questions. :beagle:

Re: JBW ridiculous charges

No... The car was registered there because she didn't have a long term address until recently

Re: JBW ridiculous charges

To what address was the original ticket, the mother's? It is possible there was some other prohibition in the bay, or was the ticket somehow not displayed? Either way swift action, as in if original PCN definitely not received, an out of time to Northampton TEC is an option, either way be very careful with JBW they will take the car and sell it without compunction, if it is spotted by their dodgy ANPR van even if they haven't levied it they are that sort of people.

Would it work without it's compunction, bizzybob?
(Whatever that is!)

Compunction...........
2. A sting of conscience or a pang of doubt aroused by wrongdoing or the prospect of wrongdoing.

Exactly Inca, they have no conscience, or any basic common humanity, well they wouldn't have as they are akin to the missing link between apes and humans.

Embob - do you have anything you want to add to the above, or are we safe to consider the discussion closed? If you do have a genuine issue, please post.

Sharp practice from an ovezealous traffic warden, but ignoring the ticket was not particularly smart!

However, if the address the bailiff is calling on is not your daughter's residence they will have to walk away.

A warrant of execution does not carry any power to allow the bailiff to enter your daughter's mother's residence....should we refer to her as your ex-wife, it's less than a mouthful...

£565.34 for an unpaid penalty charge from Transport for London and/or another borough Council is about right.
