Equita warrant Enforcement
DIR By: oldguy

Good Afternoon,
Following your recent correspondence, the content of which has
been noted.
We have been instructed to enforce a Warrant that has been
issued by the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC) in Northampton.
Previous notices have been sent to you by both the Local
Authority and the TEC.
We are unable to answer any queries with respect to the issue of
the Penalty Charge Notice, or with regard to the issuing of the
Warrant. Our instructions are to collect payment in full, or to
seize goods belonging to the person named on the Warrant. If you
wish to dispute your debt, we recommend you seek independent
legal advice from your local Citizens Advice Bureau or another
independent advisor/solicitor.
We cannot hold action whilst you make your enquiries and so you
must contact us with your intentions or proposals for payment.
Failure to do this will result in your account being passed to
an Enforcement Agent and additional fees will be incurred.
Regards,
Equita

Basically, I parked on a road which was apparently for DISC
holders only and I wrongly assumed my Blue badge would allow me
to park there.
I was in Keswick on holiday and when I got back I could not find
the ticket.
I emailed Equita and asked them to check blue badge holders were
not allowed to park there and also gave them my registration
number so they could notify me as I did not have a ticket
number.
They did not reply.
I chased it up with them 5 days later but they did not reply
again.
Then they emailed me the warrant which is shown above.
I emailed them back and said I never said I would not pay it,
just wanted to make sure it wasn't a mistake
Can I challenge this at all?
Thanks

Welcome to the Forum.
If you have received a Notice of Enforcement, pl post (see READ
THIS FIRST at the top of the front page). In any event, what is
the date of the Notice(NoE for short) and the latest date for
payment with only the Enforcement fee added?
As you were issued with a paper PCN for a parking contravention
the process is set out here:

I did read that but as I lost my ticket and contacted them which
they acknowledge in the warrant statement, I was unable to pay
the ticket unless they supplied me the details which they didn't

The enforcement process ends with the issue of an Order for
Recovery and a warrant to enforce the debt.
The authority instruct a 'bailiff' to enforce the warrant. Their
first mandatory step is to issue a Notice of Enforcement
notifying the debtor of the debt, the instructing authority, the
amount of the penalty, the Enforcement fee(£75), a reference
which gives the PCN number(which can be used to check on the
authority's website and hopefully see the PCN progress log
showing every stage to the OfR), a latest date for payment of
the debt including Enforcement fee and guidance on next steps.
I don't know what you mean by 'ticket'.
If you have contacted the bailiff, then presumably you were
prompted to do so by a NoE?

Only thing I had was a parking ticket which I lost so couldnt
pay.
Hence the reason why I contacted them.
Other than the email which I copied in above, they have failed
to reply for two weeks

What date was the contravention.
This looks like you do not have an up to date logbook as you are
missing at least three letters including the notice to owner,
which is sent to the registered keeper if a windscreen PCN is
not paid.
Go get your V5C logbook and check the address.

12th January the ticket was issued by a traffic warden
23rd of January I informed them I had lost the ticket
I have had nothing in the post from them to reply to and all
they had to do was give me the ticket number and I could have
paid it but they didn't

So that warrant is not related to the PCN from Jan - the NTO
will only follow next week, 4 weeks after the PCN. Is your V5C
up to date with the your current address?
You need to find out which local authority and the PCN number
the equita warrant applies to. Not sure, but if they won't play
ball with details, then you may need to get on to TEC to find
out. You also need to find out what address the warrant is made
out for.
