Hi all,
I would really appreciate some advice.
I owe the Council money for outstanding debt because of parking tickets and council tax. Long story but the Council put double yellow lines directly outside my house a number of years back, so when I come back home in the evening there is no space to park on my street apart from directly outside my house, which has led to me getting parking parking tickets the next morning. I have refused to pay these tickets because I don't believe I should be penalised for parking directly outside my own property. There has been an ongoing dispute between me and the Council which has also led to me refusing to pay my Council Tax until resolved.
These debts have been passed on to Andrew James Enforcement in Swansea and on Monday they clamped my car. The car wasn't outside my house but outside a friend's house 2 miles away. I left it there over the weekend so when I returned yesterday I found the clamp and a sticker on the car saying that I owe them just over 6k (Don't know where they have got this figure from) I phoned the EO office to ask for a breakdown of where these costs have been incurred but they refused to provide me with this information.
I became self employed earlier this year and use the car for business and pleasure. I delivered a letter to Andrew Jones Enforcements's office earlier today stating that I use the car for business so they are not allowed to take it. But this evening it was towed away.
Can anybody advise me what should be my next step?
Many thanks in advance!
