It's a harmless "debt collector" letter - no need to do anything until you receive a "Letter of Claim".

Do you have the original NtK? And a who's authority is it required to display a permit on the road? Are you a resident?

Thank you.

Thank you. Before posting, I made sure to read this.

Besides posting dates, is there something else I missed, which could be helpful?

Just received the attached letter from 'Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd' stating that over 5 years ago, I parked in a hospital car park for too long.

Could I get some advice on the best way to proceed with this please?

Thank you.

I will register the BB today. I only arrived back to the UK yesterday, so will register the BB today.

Two letter were received. The one uploaded earlier and the second part is called Form PE3. Please click here for PE3  Form. Is this form of relevance?

The letter was dated on 20/08/2024, do we have 36 days from this date to file the Statutory Declaration with TEC?

Apologies for the delay in responding back.

I have been away abroad and getting a copy of the Order of Recovery was difficult as my family member has been unwell and they are not tech savvy.

I have attached a copy of the letter Please click here.

It was dated on 20/08/2024. The 21 days given on the document has expired. What would be the best course of action now?

The name, address, registration, V5 docs are all correct. However, over the past year, the postman has been delivering neighbouring mail to other peoples doors. The Royal Mail were notified about this.

I also understand that given their circumstances of (i.e. being a full time carer) they could possibly ask for leniency on grounds of 'exceptional hardship'.

To go down this ground, would a letter from the care receiver be enough. Or would they need to provide additional documents such as proof of Attendance Allowance, bank statements etc

Would this need to be submitted in advance or could they just turn up to the hearing with their evidence?

Exceptional hardship is indeed the term, and that it is hardship to others carries more weight than hardship to the 'criminal'.

Anything to show that the hardship is genuine, they would probably be advised to take that evidence but only share it if questioned, they will be giving verbal evidence under oath (so no telling porkies) and usually a court won't ask for every element to be proven.  No need for a suite, just clean and relatively smart to show they are taking it seriously, we aren't in the 1980's anymore!

No need to present anything in advance, the court is aiming to achieve Justice so while they will want to ask some pertinent questions no-one will set out to trip them up on admin type issues.

Thank you.

This is precisely what I was after. Just some general advice I could pass on.

Suit is not required. Dress smart, but not over the top.

In case it is required, have evidence ready and in order.

Thanks again.

I am trying to help a Family member who has been summoned to court regarding driving disqualification

Family member provides full time care and assistance for a family member who has mobility issues.

They used the family members vehicle to purchase food but they were stopped by the policy and the vehicle was seized because they were not on the insurance policy.


I am after advice on how best they can prepare for the court?

Do they need to bring anything with them to court?

Disqualification would be disastrous as it would be incredibly difficult to provide care, food, medication and assistance to immobile individual.

If it helps, the immobile individual has a Blue Badge, they receive Attendance Allowance and the family member is in receipt of Carer's Allowance.
