Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Bus Lane Fine
« on: August 26, 2025, 12:27:37 pm »
Hi, My Bus Lane Parking Fine has gone to Enforcement stage.
They have asked for an inventory of my home (which is rented from my mum who has signed a legal contract with me and will vouch: fully furnished inc. White goods, small electrcals & televisions, as stated on tenancy- every thing else is my mum's as it's her house - I only own a dated mobile and clothes nothing of any value) but they want a full list inventory, they also want 3 months bank statements.
I have refused sending this without written documentation of authority to request this as I am not prepared to give these personal details (The enforcement agent got really angry & started raising her voice and interrupting me even though she said the call was being recorded, then she put the phone down on me, and has mot responded to further corrspondance via her whatsapp).
They clamped my car, but i have sent legal document showing I do not own the vehicle. However 3 hours later and the car is still clamped (although the enforcement agent said they would unclamp it, but there were no agents in the area yet?)
The bus lane fine was £105 from Lancashire County Council with a £10 court registration fee on 05/07/2025.
The fine was passed from the local council to CDER Group And on the 01/08/2025 a notice letter was sent at £75 fee -(However i did not recieve this letter).
This stage is classed as 'Before Enforcement'.
The fine has now been passed to 'Enforcement Stage' and a 'Notice of intention to take control of your goods' letter- balance due today £425.
CDER are thete to collect money or seize goods as both of these options are out - I expect they will either give the debt back to council or go to court for an a'Attachment of earnings' order.
This would incur more charges of letters court etc.
I am happy to pay the Council £115 even the compliance stage (as i never got that letter), but not happy to pay £235 for 1 letter & clamping a car that was not mine.
I heard that a £10,000 parking fine was disputed and the enforcement Agency lost.
What are my chances?
Will I end up with a ridiculous amount of extra money to pay if the enforcement officer decides to pursue this in court.
