Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Bailiff at my home for paid Congestion Zone Charge

Absolutely. What are his options? Paying the £279 fine when he's paid the price he was asked is crazy. Should he continue with appealing / Statutory Declaration? Is the bailiff correct with the option of paying and then appealing? If the appeal succeeds, then can he reclaim the total amount, or are the bailiff fees not recoverable?

It's not my post, so only he can answer if he's picked it up on time or even at all. How does this affect the situation?

I think his post should have been passed onto him. I don't know if he's dealt with it on time. I can find out, but if he hasn't dealt with it on time, then what is the course of action here?

I suppose TfL are suggesting that, but he paid whatever he was asked to pay.

He's already sent off the form to TEC but needed to get a solicitor, magistrate or keeper of peace to sign it. I don't have a copy of the forms.

So the bailiff wants £354.00 in total. There is an Enforcement Visit charge of £235 but not sure if that is included in the balance, as they have not visited the correct property.

Hey all,

This morning a bailiff turned up at my home asking for my brother, but he hasn't lived here for years.

Story goes like this:

In March, my brother went into London and into the Congestion Zone with his car. On the same day, he then went online to TfL to pay the Congestion Zone Charge of £15, which is what the system said was the correct amount to pay.

Since then, TfL have sent the bailiffs to recover £250 from him for not paying the "correct" amount of £17.50. I'm not sure how TfL have followed up with my brother regarding correspondence, but he's informed TfL of what has happened, and filled in a Traffic Enforcement Centre form. However, the bailiffs are still threatening him, and have now come to my home.

The bailiff says my brother has two options: pay the £250 and appeal to reclaim the money; or they can remove goods and he can appeal to have them returned. I know I don't have to let the bailiffs into my home, and they cannot take any of my belongings.

My brother paid the original Congestion Zone Charge amount on time and in full. Now I'm having to deal with bailiffs.

What is the best course of action here?

Thanks!
