Bailiffs. Fine sent to old adress.
DIR By: Dudess73

---------------------------------------------------------
Dear all,
I moved house 6 months ago, and have come to know that two
separate bailiffs visited my old address to collect £1000 for
unpaid fines.
The contravention was no left turn Tilling Road to Brentfield
Gardens.
My VRN was not updated yet. Royal Mail redirection was in place
but I received not a single letter from Barnet.
On contacting Barnet Council, I have come to find out that there
are 7 contraventions for me all the same offence.
I need to apply for PE2/PE3 Out of Time, which can take 2 weeks
for a result, but the bailiff has said he will find me and take
my car away within that time. The other 5 contraventions are
near bailiff stage. I have asked the bailiff to put me on their
vulnerable team as I have two young children but so far they
have refused. So far I have only spoken over the phone to them
and no correspondence has been received.
I am so stressed. If I had received a single fine I would have
paid and not made the mistake again. It seems so strange that So
many letters from Barnet have not reached my new address but all
other correspondence has.
Thank you

What is the address on the logbook.
What is the car VRM (numberplate).
This looks like you should get help from:
HTML https://bailiffadviceonline.co.uk
and maybe Mr Mustard (I think enforcing this location is or was
defective).

Thank you I will contact Mr Mustard. The logbook address is my
old address.
I just need time to get my out of time form processed- and for
Barnet Council to put the bailiffs on hold so I can wait for
their reply.

This doesn't explain why mail redirection didn't work.
What are the contravention dates.
What date of move and what dates redirection in place.
Have you looked at the logbook.

I just spoke with Royal Mail- they say that government post does
not get redirected! Just returned to sender- ie Barnet. I moved
on 29th March and my first contravention date was on 18th April.
The redirection date was from April 5th until 04 October. All
2024
Digging out my log book now

Can you get that in writing? You paid for redirection?

The royal Mail site says here
HTML https://www.royalmail.com/d8/help/redirection
"We can’t redirect:
..........
Mail for people who weren’t living at the old address
..........
Any mail the law prohibits us from redirecting. For example we
may be required to notify the authorities of Redirection
requests for mail relating to government benefits."
Where does the law prohibit redirection of an envelope
containing a PCN? I don't see how an envelope containing a
statutory notice from a Local Authority is related to government
benefits?
Mail from Councils that can't be redirected are usually endorsed
as such, are they not? I've never seen a PCN notice that's so
endorsed.
However was the V5c in your name or was it in the name of
another family member? I've previously come across redirection
fails if say John Smith is on the redirect request and the
letter is addressed to his wife, Jane Smith.

That's not something to take lightly. It needs specific focussed
content or it is likely to fail.
You need to establish the facts with us here first.

My V5c is in my maiden name - the redirect notice was in my
married name.
You are right - this may be why my post was not re-directed.
