Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi folks

Thank you in advance for replies.

My daughter is going through a terrible mental health decline and has failed to open her mail etc. I have opened her mail and found several letters from bailiffs and council regarding multiple tickets, sadly I do not have them all. I have contacted the council (with letter of authority) to request that they recall all the tickets so that they can be totalled and dealt with. They have refused. Equally I have written to one of the bailiffs requesting the same, because they told her that they could take her car, which is on finance and sell it, take their monies and give her the balance. That bailiff was very intimidating and I have complained and requested the evidence of the "training" they allege to have to deal with vulnerable persons. My daughter's car is one of her safe spaces and she relies on it totally for school runs, doctors and any other trips to avoid triggering her anxiety.

Before trying to locate all tickets and post, is there anything I can do to convince the council to take back the various cases from the two bailiffs. One bailiff has been reasonable, but will not be forever.

I know some tickets are from the same place that I have had a ticket and the advice on here is that as there was no signage at the start of the road there is no contravention, but prior to that in the previous access road is another sign prohibiting traffic which is more important, but council don't refer to that. Although there are several all over the place, which could be when she panics she will pull over and breathe, or just park as close to where she needs to be to avoid any anxiety getting in and out of where she's going, but until I have them all I cannot post full info.

Any thoughts at this stage much appreciated.

You know we need more info to go on, so some legwork for you I'm afraid.

PCN issue dates and contraventions pl.
Dates of NTOs, if applicable e.g. parking contraventions need NTOs but moving traffic do not etc.
Dates of Orders for Recovery;
Dates of Notices of Enforcement(one for each PCN).

You'll need the above for bailiffadviceonline (BAO).

Has her medical condition been diagnosed BAO would need this as well.

Please post up any Bailiff issued Notice of Enforcement that you have. Redact the name and address.

Thank you, I will take a look.

I’ve requested info on all tickets issued from council as I don’t have them all, I will do the same with the bailiffs.

Thank you.

I don’t have all the info only some, the council have said X no of tickets, some with them, some with one bailiff, some with the other. I have just emailed to request all tickets so that I can get advice to evaluate validity. Fingers crossed they do that at least.

She is diagnosed with various issues, Bipolar being the main one, but PTSD, general anxiety, OCD, a type of personality disorder, can’t remember off the top of my head. It’s a long standing thing that fluctuates, but right now she’s on a complete downer triggered by various traumatic/stressful events.

It is very important indeed to find out which PCN's are still with the council and at what stage they are at (Charge Certificate/Order or Recovery etc).

Which local authority have issued PCN's against your daughter?

Given your daughters circumstances, is she in receipt of any benefits?
Does she work?
Is she a single parent?
