I have had good advice from https://www.dealingwithbailiffs.co.uk/

Not sure everyone on here is truly out to help you.

Jason at the above website has been very good.

Unsubscribed.

I am doing the pen and the sword approach.

online appeal lodged challenging validity of CAZ re adding subsequent charges:
BS60086527

Will be filling in TE9 and TE7 forms for all the above. Not hopeful but it will slow things down and give me time to get more advice and some help with harassment if needed. Luckily we have an Anarchist group just round the corner. They love this kind of stuff

Date: 30/07/2024
Parking Services (PCN Appeals),
PO Box 3399,
Bristol City Council,
Bristol, BS1 9NE.

To whom it may concern,

Regarding these PCNs:

....


On 25/07/2024, out of the blue I received Notices of Enforcement in respect of four PCNs, nos. BS54238314, BS53986109, BS52018394, BS54026076 for CAZ infringements.

Thankfully your agent has given me until 9 August to pay in each case and this breathing space has allowed me to find out what these are all about and what procedures apply.

As you will see from the list of PCNs above, 28 in total, it appears that my car has been driven into your Clean Air Zone area by different drivers between 18/12/22 and 18/05/24 accumulating over £5000 in penalties with potentially over £8000 (no. PCNs x £310) more in fees to be added by your enforcement agents.

These actions have not been carried out deliberately but because the car in question is not subject to CAZ charges in Bath, where I often visit, nor any other CAZ in the country. I therefor not unreasonably was under the impression that my car was treated similarly in the Bristol CAZ zone.

But as you might reason, to enter and not pay over such an extended period must surely be a positive act because I can see that you sent PCNs smartly after each occurrence and therefore the registered keeper must have known.

But I didn't. And I didn't because when I last changed my address I forgot to update my V5C, instead thinking that updating my driver's licence would be sufficient.

Over £5000 of penalties and fees has brought home to me the error of my ways. However, I would ask the authority to agree that to penalise a registered keeper to this extent is disproportionate. I am reaching out to you in this way to avoid placing the burden of more than 20 Out of Time submissions on the Traffic Enforcement Centre and similarly the authority by way of their response. I also understand that although the diligence of your agent has given them my current address, it is possible that many, if not all, of the warrants give my historical V5C address and would therefore need to be amended through the court process.

I would also note that creditors must not issue a warrant knowing that the debtor is not at the address, as a means of tracing the debtor at no cost (Paragraph 12):

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/353396/taking-control-of-goods-national-standards.pdf

I am sending this letter by email as well as recorded post in an endeavour to begin a speedy dialogue with the council regarding an outcome which suits the circumstances and is fair to all concerned.

Yours faithfully,

....

I am selling the car this weekend to my friend.

We are looking for somewhere to move to, were planning to move anyway.

Gonna stick to the "tough it out" plan.

I will post back in 6 months to update.

Thanks all for your advice.

Looked into things full today.
Had a heart attack when I realized I actually have 27 outstanding caz charges (if you don't know you don't know).

I then spent all day reading around traffic law.

I also got some really good advice, support and options from Jason and Sheila:

Basically, my car is 20 years old, rusty, has dints, worth £500. It will probably die in the next 6 months (gears getting a bit clunky).

We are gonna tough this one out:
- I have moved my car to a friend's house driveway.
- I am a pretty big guy, did judo as a child, boxing as teenager, I play football and do some upper body.
- I have had bailiffs come round before looking for previous tennants, I know what they look like.
- We will not be opening the door to anyone.

Wish us luck...

Why would you want to submit the TE7 - which is the key document - because you posted: I will contact Bailiff Advice Online for help submitting Witness Statements with Out of Time applications.

Thanks for your responses H C - I have contacted Bailiff Advice Online, but haven't heard back yet, so I am trying to keep ahead of things and prepare for all eventualities.

If you submit your TE7 with nothing more than 'I didn't receive...' then be prepared to fail.

H C, you are obviously experienced in this area - could you kindly offer suggestions of how to make a TE7 more likely to succeed?

The main part I am not sure about is the top of TE9 form:
https://imgur.com/a/MCvjVR5

I have read that as I haven't received info / PCN, I should fill these fields with "UNKNOWN" (apart from "Penalty Charge No.", which I have from the Bailiff letter).

Yes the notice of enforcement letters are addressed to my current address - my current address is printed at the top of each of the NoE letters (redacted with a black rectangle by myself).
I need to go find the envelope...
