Hi all,
Got a rather large issue with parking tickets!
To cut a long story short, we have two (both from hire cars in late 2012, one in my name, one in the wifes, although i believe both to be hers, one of them obtained in my hire car) which are now at over £300 each (beyond stupid I know, but a long story as to why they have just been uncovered).
We def owe the tickets and there were no issues as to how they were served etc, so i don't believe we have any right of appeal.
I spoke to Jacobs bailiffs who advised me to do an income and expenditure, which I did. I made an offer of £20 per month on each ticket and the income and expenditure showed we could afford that (only just mind!).
Anyhow, they have today emailed me saying they advise we pay £75 per month on each ticket (income and expenditure shows we could never afford that!) and before replying I thought i'd get some advice on here.
Its my current plan to pay the £20 a month as agreed on each ticket, regardless of their request.
However, the question is, what can they do?
can they enter my property (of their own accord) for a parking ticket? Can they carry on action, thus incurring more charges? I dont have any vehicles to seize at present, and I certainly wont be letting them in the house, however, I dont wish to pay them £20 a month on an ever increasing debt if they will just keep on adding charges.
any advice on how I deal with this is hugely appreciated!
