Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Horrible situation with bailiffs and no idea what the fine is for

PS I've now nudged Marston rec to tell me who their client is and what it's about but still haven't had a reply.

Surely they have to tell me what this is about? I must have a legal right to know?

Yes, I applied for the V5 online.

Dad first went into a coma on the 25th May.

Very worried about the fees going up.

When you say paying the bailiffs will not close off submitting an out of time form, I'm guessing the bailiff fees are unrecoverable? Or could I get them back even if I pay?

Unfortunately, I have a difficult relationship with my ex-housemate and I've asked if they've kept any of the letters but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they've thrown them away. Either way, they never told me a thing until the bailiff turned up the other day.

The car belongs to me and isn't hired.

Thanks for your help so far. Desperate to sort this quickly before it leaves me any more broke.

Hello

- Four days ago, my old housemate messaged me to tell me a bailiff (Marston rec) came round and sent me the form he left. He says I owe over £500 and this is the first I'm hearing of it.

- I thought I'd registered my new address on my V5C. I tried doing this a couple of months ago shortly before my father died

- I've been having a really difficult time grieving (he died very suddenly and it was quite a traumatic situation)

- So the thought never crossed my mind that it didn't arrive as I was fully preoccupied with horrible stuff. And then, strangely, I remembered about 10 days ago and re-applied

- I'm guessing they never got my first application. I can't find an email so perhaps it never went through.

- My address was updated (successfully) on my driving license and everything else as soon as I moved into my current place.



- I'm so scared of the bailiffs and have no idea what to do. I don't even know if I was driving when the fine was issued but if I was, I would have paid it immediately if I'd known.


- I've emailed them immediately saying "I have just received a letter saying I owe money for something that I have received no previous letters about. Please can you let me know who your client is and what this is referring to?". As I need to know what it's referring to but they still haven't replied.

- I am very worried that they are taking a while to get back to me because they're finding my current address and will turn up here. If they do, I have no idea what to say to them and any advice would be appreciated. Surely I have a legal right to know what happened in the first place?

- I will obviously pay the horrible fine if necessary but I think I'd have to make monthly payments

- I've contacted bailiffadviceonline (also four days ago) and they still haven't got back to me either but maybe they're just busy



This forum is clearly full of very generous and wonderful people. It's very reassuring to read everything I've read so far when going through an upsetting time. Thank you in advance.
