Private parking tickets / I have been contacted by a bailiffs with an increased price for a PCN I was making monthly payments for - England
« on: September 27, 2024, 01:17:47 pm »
My name is Rojhat.
I will refer to the parking company that issued the PCN to me as PC. (Not actual company name and not acronym of actual company name)
I will refer to the bailiff company as BV. (Not company name and not acronym of company name)
Here is the full story, I received a PCN in July 2023 and after going back and forth with PC and later involving POPLA (parking ombudsman) we agreed on a payment plan in January 2024 for monthly payments of £11.67 until the total amount of £140 was cleared. POPLA helped me understand how the PCN was issued correctly and I had no issue with paying.
Payments of £11.67 were taken on the 2nd of Feb, 4th of March, 2nd of April and lastly 2nd of May. This is only four payments and totals to £46.68. Unbeknownst to me the payments had stopped with the last one being taken on the 2nd of May and PC did not contact me regarding payments stopping. I then on the 23rd of September 2024 received a letter from BV, the bailiff company, instructing me that I now owe them the sum of £123.32 for unpaid parking charge from PC.
I called the bailiff company and they informed me that nothing could be done and I had to pay them £123.32. However they were also confused as to how PC had not contacted me about payments stopping.
I contacted PC on 23rd of September about the situation but have yet to receive a response from them.
I can afford to pay the £123.32 but I would like to report PC for their negligence in contacting me regarding this unpaid fee and sending me to a bailiff agency. I think if I pay the bailiffs any report I would like to make against PC would be disregarded, am I right in thinking this?
Any advice would be appreciated and if there is a way to get the bailiff agency to send the original PCN back to PC so I can continue my monthly payments with PC for the remaining balance of £92.32 and PC to pay any of the bailiffs fees please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Rojhat
