jacobs, removal notice in 24 hours.

[rictic]

hi newbie here,
i am in receipt of an enforcement notice from jacobs wich was given to me today.
it is for the sum of 422.00.
it says in big red font "removal 24 hours"

now a little background.

i am 57, disabled and on some serious meds.

i forget things and need reminding to do things.
i have my blue badge for my mobility car.

now , i parked in a bay in burnley which was signposted disabled for all intents and purposes i could tell. the sign was just a cars length in front of me. there were no yellow or white demarcation markings on the ground, just a row of silver studs which i thought were fr partially sighted people tbh.

i received a ticket for parking in a loading bay.

the sign for this was way way behind me at least three car lengths away, nothing on the ground either to indicate this.

anyway i thought i'd challenged it, as i have done before and won.

but today i receive this notice from jacobs.

i am not the best at memory or organisation nowadays due to these meds and my illness.

what can i do now?? i still have the scene photos i thought i'd sent to the council.
it has since been modified with the signs i believe as many blue badge holders were being hit by this terrible signage.

what are my options now?/
there is no way i ca npay 422.00 if my life depended on it.

i dont recall any correspondence until today. i have had no previous visits from them. this is the first..

the original parking fine i thought i had challenged. my bad there i suppose.

i spoke to a parking warden one day directly opposite where i was ticketed and showed him a car in the same spot as mine and he said it wasnt on his side of the street and he wouldnt bother anyway as it was a badly signed bay.
this has since been changed i think.

Ok - can you post up the letter from Jacobs?? (or type it out)
Is it headed 'Notice of Enforcement'??
Was it posted or hand-delivered??

There are lots of debates over the meaning of vulnerability in regards bailiff action - personally I would say "yes" you should be classed as vulnerable as you are disabled
They cannot take a disability vehicle.

Don't worry too much about it ... we'll help all we can!

They cannot enter your house by force or through any means other than a usual method of entry (so no climbing through windows etc...). If you have never allowed them into your house to place a levy on goods, and you do not allow them entry, then they cannot take anything from inside

They cannot force entry to sheds etc... either (as far as I know) so I'd say as long as it's locked you would have no need to worry about your tools :tinysmile_twink_t2:
