Hi all
Just joined tonight and feel better theres other souls out there battling like me just to lead a normal life! My enquiry is regarding the possiblility of claiming back rhetrospective bailiff fees?
First I have to put my hand up- I had a PCN which I appealed against and then forgot about!!Issued in December 2012, fast forward to 31st May 2013 and a letter headed 'Certificated Bailiffs' from a company called 'Swift' and a bill for £185.44 which I just didnt have the funds to pay! On 18th June, 6.00am , a knock on the door and bailiff with clipboard and a clamp on my car, parked on the drive. I had to pay £553.94 before he would remove it and I had to sign a 'Notice of Removal Expenses Form 9 and also a 'Notice of Seizure of Goods and Inventory' and also a 'Walking Possesions Agreement;! Now, I put my hands up and maybe I got what I deserved but since then,have done some research and a come across some anomalies that may possibly help claw some money back? The Bailiff in question is not on the bailiff register,forced me to pay by clamping and didnt show me a court stamp or signature from officer of the court! Do I have a chance to get any of my hard-earned back or just put it down to experience and move on?
Have read about a 'charge-back'option on debit cards on old transactions but not sure if its legit!
