Jacobs fees

[Royalie]

Hi!

To cut a long story short, husband got a parking ticket from Warrington BC in May 2013, forgot to pay resulting in it being sent to Jacobs.
He finally paid the outstanding debt direct to the council (by basically giving them the cash with a covering letter and walking away as they were refusing to accept it).
We have since had a few hand delivered letters from Jacobs threatening action unless payment of £310.00 is made.
They visited our property at 8.45 am yesterday and posted a 24hrs notice, and have been back this morning at 8.40am and posted a "REMOVAL 5PM" notice.
I am a little concerned about this situation, and any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Royalie.

Re: Jacobs fees

Do not under any circumstances let them in. If you have any vehicles make sure they are not located at the property and parked elsewhere.

I am sure someone else will be along shortly to advise further

Re: Jacobs fees

Hello Royalie, the reason the Council would not accept the payment was because the debt had already been passed to the Enforcement agency, at the initial extra cost of £75, but your husband decided that he would do his own thing, leave the cash in an envelope at the Council and now he has incurred a further £235.00 for an Enforcenebt Agent sent out to collect the first £75

Unfortunately for your husband, when he left the cash at the Council Offices, he should have realised/known that the Council would send £75 to the Agency, therefore he still owes on the original debt.
