Its not rocket science for them to check who owns a vehicle
it was REPORTED as being abandoned (we don't know who by or when)
so it's feasible that the council would monitor it. one way to check would be if it had not been moved/mileage hadn't increased.0 -

My husband is full of usless information, don't you think
Anyways, we didn't receive the phone call from the council as promised. So the letter will be handed in to the council first thing tomorrow. I think the coucil have to reply to complaints within a certain time scale, not to sure what it is to be honest.
A quick question for you, when we do put a complaint in, can the recovery company still crush the car?? Or do we have to appeal??0 -
