    once/if the stat dec is accepted by the court, it will effectively go back to the stage at which you were first summonsed IIRC. so i would say no about their fees you will have to go to the court to plead your case and try and arrange a repayment plan with the court

    I have just got off the phone with the court the lady seemed reluctant to help at first and wanted to know why I wanted to apply the stat declaration, she now says she will go away and look into the archives to find out what happens from here.

    I said that obviously the court needs to talk with marstons to cancell their action
  • Hi

    For the record, it should be pointed out that, given that Magistrates Courts and Bailiffs are involved in these two cases, neither of them relate to private parking charge notices, but to unpaid penalty charges issued from a local authority/police/railways/TfL source.

    not sure if ive missed something in this thread, but what is the initial cahrge for, and who issued it?
    is it a council, or something else.

    somewhere i saw something that mentioned a tube/rail fine/peanlty?

    Apparently it was issued by hammersmith magistrates back in December 2007, the original fine was for 165.

    The lady I spoke to at the court was having difficulties finding my details but says she will com back to m tomorrow. Hopefully I can settle this with the court rather than the bailiffs as apparently I will incur a further 250

    It was for an unpaid penalty fare on the tube

    OK I have an update on this.

    After having spoken with the court, the lady seemed very reluctant to accept a statutory declaration and told me if I apply for one I will be sent back to court and my fine is likely to be increased.

    I explained that all I am interested in doing to repaying the fine but she didnt seem to want to help and told me I have to deal with the bailiffs.

    Where do I go from here?

    Any advice appreciated

This will ensure that you know exactly how much you are spending and will allow you to contact us from either your home or your office without the worry of a large telephone bill.


    Good value really.
