Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: PE2 AND PE3 refused
« on: June 27, 2023, 12:16:01 pm »Thank you very much for the above, now I understand the matter better, still.. Just to double check that Im missing nothing: PCN issued in 2022(I never received, as I never heard from Marston), my vehicle been towed away on 8 Feb 2023 (that's the day I realized that PCN has been issued in a first place), to get my car out I borrowed £ and payed to Marston what covers council PCN fees and Marston's services commissions. I made the bankruptcy order on 20 Feb 2023 and I sent PE2,PE3 to TEC. I wasn't successful and I received refusal on 25th May 2023. I just wanna get money back as I never received PCN in a first place, so I never knew that Marston after me.You could pursue this, the problem is that you paid the bailiffs before you went bankrupt. Therefore even if you succeed, the refund won't go to you, it will go to your trustee in bankruptcy (almost certainly the Official Receiver).
The way bankruptcy works is this: you no longer owe any of the debts that pre-date the bankruptcy order, but you don't own any of the assets either, so any refund for anything that happened before 20 February 2023 won't go to you anyway (there are a few exceptions like compensation for personal injury, but nothing relevant in this case).
As you wouldn't get the money anyway, I don't think it's worth your time doing anything about this. At most, you could tell the Official Receiver about this potential refund and they can decide whether to pursue it for the benefit of your creditors (but I doubt it would be worth the Official Receiver's time).
I see, thank you very much! Now all crystal clear
