Re: I need advice on an enforcement order
Sorry I should have looked before as the Notice is dated 09/10 and gives you until 17/10 to pay or make an arrangement. First off the Notice is defective as it does not give 7 clear days notice. A Notice written on 09/10 would be deemed delivered 2 days (if sent 1st Class) later so will assume 11/10. Sundays and Bank Holidays are excluded from the calculations so the first day has to be taken as 13/10 and counting to 7 clear days takes us to 20/10 - as another Sunday falls into it, add an extra day for when Compliance can take part and that takes us to Tuesday 21/10.
Although the Notice is defective all it means is that they cannot charge the Fee or rely on the date they have given. The Notice will have to be re-issued. Cruel as it may seem but you will have to notify of their failings - this is not the first time they have been caught and I will forward your thread as I know the MOJ are keen to find those flouting the new regulations. Hopefully this will give you some extra time to get to the bottom of what has happened.
