Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi all, please help me as I am stressing about two letters sent to me by CDER Group.

I received a PCN for parking in a residents bay in September 2024.  I paid for parking up until 6:30pm at which time the bay becomes residents only.  I did not realise this as English is not my first language and a PCN was issued approximately 6:45pm.

Unfortunately due to a series of events (I was evicted and placed into temporary accommodation) I lost the PCN and have since not updated the V5c until recently.  I forgot about the PCN.

Today an old housemate handed me a stack of letters from my old address.  One of which is a notice of enforcement dated 20/03/2025 with a deadline to pay £280 by 6am on the 30/03/2025 and a second letter stating an enforcement officer had visited with intent to take control of goods after a court order.  The cost has increased to £515.

I am on universal credit and can't possibly afford to pay this.  My car is on a hire purchase agreement.  I understand that I had not updated my V5c but is there any advice please? 

Thanks for your reply.

I was given all of the post that had been sent and there was no notice to owner, charge certificate or order for recovery, only the two letters mentioned in my first post.  Is this relevant in any way please?

I fully accept that this is my fault and I should have updated my V5c as soon as I had moved into my current home.

Thank you again for your help.  I have contacted the website this morning and hopefully they can assist.

The car has been registered at my old address that I was evicted from for a couple of years, so any post sent would have all been together in the stack I received yesterday.

I am waiting for an email or call back from bailiffadvice.

Thanks

Hi, yes it is the same car I've had for a couple of years.

Thanks
