Bailiff at my home for paid Congestion Zone Charge
DIR By: arctickoala

---------------------------------------------------------
Hey all,
This morning a bailiff turned up at my home asking for my
brother, but he hasn't lived here for years.
Story goes like this:
In March, my brother went into London and into the Congestion
Zone with his car. On the same day, he then went online to TfL
to pay the Congestion Zone Charge of £15, which is what the
system said was the correct amount to pay.
Since then, TfL have sent the bailiffs to recover £250 from him
for not paying the "correct" amount of £17.50. I'm not sure how
TfL have followed up with my brother regarding correspondence,
but he's informed TfL of what has happened, and filled in a
Traffic Enforcement Centre form. However, the bailiffs are still
threatening him, and have now come to my home.
The bailiff says my brother has two options: pay the £250 and
appeal to reclaim the money; or they can remove goods and he can
appeal to have them returned. I know I don't have to let the
bailiffs into my home, and they cannot take any of my
belongings.
My brother paid the original Congestion Zone Charge amount on
time and in full. Now I'm having to deal with bailiffs.
What is the best course of action here?
Thanks!

TfL are basically saying he paid on one of the following two
days.
£250 is not an amount a bailiff would be seeking??????
+ show us the forms he has completed -- and don't send them yet!

And my question is - What address is on your brother's V5
Registration Certificate for his car ? That is where all the
documents get sent to, as TfL obtain keeper and address from the
DVLA, quoting the reg, number.
Also, until we see some documents he has received, we're in the
dark.

I suppose TfL are suggesting that, but he paid whatever he was
asked to pay.
He's already sent off the form to TEC but needed to get a
solicitor, magistrate or keeper of peace to sign it. I don't
have a copy of the forms.
So the bailiff wants £354.00 in total. There is an Enforcement
Visit charge of £235 but not sure if that is included in the
balance, as they have not visited the correct property.

So was mail from TfL arriving at your address, passed to him ?
The only place TfL get the name and address from is by enquiring
from DVLA, quoting the car registration number.

It's very unlikely your brother has completed the forms
correctly.
Put the pcn number in the TfL website and click on 'case
history' and paste it here.
We will have a look to see if anything is untoward.
