Quote from: Pressman on 23 Oct, 2024 03:00maripop00You may resolve this swiftly and decisively.I would like to say thank you to Pressman for your help, the drafted letter on the first page of this topic has resulted in the fine being cancelled altogether. Thanks to everyone else for their input [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Quote from: Incandescent on 22 Oct, 2024 22:26Sorry about all the "third degree, hard cop, soft cop" stuff, but its very important to get answers and a full view of the situation if useful advice is to be given. The bottom line for me is that the debt is still outstanding. Nothing I have read so far tells me anything that will result in the debt being extinguished. OK, the bailiffs may go back to the council and tell them "we can't enforce the debt, sorry", and the council then write it off, but they're not going to tell you they have done this. So you might come back to the UK in the future  and suddenly get different bailiffs at your door when you thought it had all gone away.Just seems extremely unfair due to no fault of my own, I am now dealing with Bailiffs and a significant amount of money. If I was given the opportunity to pay the original fine, should I have known about it, would have been sorted in no time. Seems like the whole system is set up to get people into debt with Bailiffs.

Guys, thanks for all the discussion but I do feel like I am being judged here more than being helped, which is what I was recommened to come here for.By judged, I mean, people seem to be looking for things that arent there.Regarding car tax....you don't have to purchase a minimum of 6 months - you can buy car tax on a direct debit , for example if you were to tax your car today - the data will show it's valid until October 2025, but you are still paying monthly and can cancel it / sorn it at any point and data will reflect that month of cancelled tax.In my case, I was in and out of the country for the past year, however was in the UK beginning of 2024 until April 2024, when I bought the car, obviously registered it to my UK address, but got offered a job abroad a few weeks later and decided to take the car with me. Car Tax was on a direct debit and completely forgot to cancel/sort it in April, so only done this in July, hence it is showing July. Straightforward.Secondly, there was no PCN's that arrived to my UK address from TfL, as I mentioned in my first post, that we did have problems with post during the summer period, once a week postal service or non at all at time.The first I heard about this fine was the CDER letter that come to my UK address, hence why I am here to ask for advice on how to deal with it now.Should any letters arrived from TfL, of course the fine would have been paid as I know that my ignorance to ULEZ is my fault, but I was not given the opportunity to deal with it.

The logbook was not changed, I bought the vehicle in April and applied for a logbook in my name. I then went abroad with it

Quote from: Incandescent on 21 Oct, 2024 00:26You still haven't answered the question - is the address on the CDER letter identical to the address on the V5C for the car, and is the V5C address the same now as it was when the PCN was issued by TfL ?Yes, sorry thought I answered it above. The address is the same. It hasn't changed since getting the car to this day

This is the letter https://ibb.co/tMzm4c3For some reason it's not letting me attach although it's a very small size file, says the upload folder full

That's where at least three letters will have been sent to.I haven't changed address, it's the same as the first CDER letterSo, to confirm....The address on your V5C is the same as the address on the CDER letter, and that V5C address has been the same as before the date of the ULEZ PCN ?You have not received THREE statutory documents, all sent to the address on the V5C shortly after the alleged contravention was detected by TfL cameras- Original PCN- Charge Certificate- Order for RecoveryNo letters have been received    The first was the CDER letter

Hi everyone After some advice.I drove to London back in April 2024, and was extremely careful not going into the Congestion Charge Zone, which I believed was the only thing you had to pay for. I live in Cheshire, and this was my first time going into London in like 12 years so had no idea about the Ulez. Maybe ignorance, I know, but I am not local from London, and do not keep up with the news regarding these charges. Cutting long story short, I received a letter from CDER Group , however I didn't receive any letter from TfL at all (we did have troubles with Royal Mail, maybe letters getting lost) but point is the first time I heard about this fine was from CDER with obviously a very high amount now. I emailed CDER to say that I will be contacting TfL, as if I had received any letters previously, I would of paid straight away and not letting this amount to a high now. CDER replied that they cannot stop any enforcement unless their client (TfL) tells them and proceeded to visit my address the next day after their response. Obviously no one answered the door. I am currently abroad and will be for the next 9-12 months (and even the car I drove is currently as : exported' due to being more than 1 year I will be abroad - still same car and reg as the fine) but my mother is at the address (who is vulnerable and disabled lives alone) and I obviously want to avoid CDER bothering her!What would you advise is the best course of action for me ? Can I get in touch with TfL , is there a way to reinstate the original fine amount on the basis that I didn't receive any letter previously and stupidly wasn't even aware of Ulez as not local - I am now and clearly will not be repeating the same mistake in the future  Also, how do I stop CDER from visiting again or can they put the case on hold while I sort with TfL ?Are CDER actually Bailiffs? What would happen should they decide to visit again ?I just want to get this sorted asap, I would rather pay the original fine - but completely unsure on how to word itAll advice apps
