  • Location is funny too.

    It seems that people all over the county are being targeted. Surely if it was real, then it would be local bailiffs or a local company to each person
  • Just looking at all these replies, it appears to me that this must be the biggest bailiff company in the country if they are going to have so many bailiffs on the door step first thing tomorrow LOL.
  • send them some fake cheque of £5000 asking for it to be cashed at western union and send you back minus the £80.00 you owe

    It would be a real shame if their email address [EMAIL="admin@bailiffs-gov.co.uk"]admin@bailiffs-gov.co.uk[/EMAIL] got hit by a lot of spam.

    Including Scotland, where they don't even have bailiffs.

    Can't see any legit bailiff or DCA being allowed to use such a totally misleading name.

    When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
    We don't need the following to help you.
    Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.
