Im not aware of any template letters, but on reading Herbie21 website, http://www.bailiffadviceonline.co.uk/bailifffeecomplaints_deta.htm

You can ask for a detailed breakdown on the fees because you believe the fees are unfair, from memory im sure a maximum a baliff can charge for 2 visits and an invalid levy would be £42.50

I'm dealing with bailiff's myself and yes £42.50 maximum they can charge for the first two visits and all subsequent visits after that. You need to see what they've charged, so just do a basic letter or email them if they have an email address for a breakdown of the charges, if you can't get a hold of Herbie21 or robertomoir, try the national debt line, they are also quite knowledgable on the do's and don'ts.

The fees of £42.50 as above are the fees that can be charged by a bailiff when enforcing an debt for unpaid council tax.

With unpaid parking tickets the fees are not quite so easy to work HOWEVER...what is CLEAR is that charges of £600 are completely unacceptable, in particular when the bailiff has not even clamped a car !!

BEFORE a bailiff visits, it is perfectly legal to sell, hide, give away or transfer ANY ITEM. HOWEVER...if this were to be done you need to ensure that you make sure that the insurance has been changed.

You need to also be aware that if your partner had not received either the PCN or the Notice to Owner, then she can complete an Out of Time Statutory Declaration with the Traffic Enforcement Centre. This will FREEZE all enforcement until your application has been determind.
