Vehicle Control Service bailiffs

Jay1965

Hi,
Apologies if this has appeared before, but I've searched and can't see any reference to this particular issue.
A letter was received in May 2014 for allegedly 'parking' in a no parking zone at Liverpool Airport. This was ignored as was the next similar letter (July 2014) both from VCS. I have now had two bailiffs letters, first was from 'newlyn' August 2014) and gave no minimun time to respond. The second one, recevied today is from 'Rossendales Collect' and specifies a 7 day responce period otherwise 'recovery action will commence'!!
My question is, has anyone actually had bailiffs turn up to recover the debt? I am concerned but am willing to stand my ground as the car in question wasn't parked, just stopped for a very short period of time,
Thanks in advance.

You haven't had any bailiff's letters. Search the forum for the keywords!

Rossendales finds my thread...from a while back...eek!

Baliffs can only turn up if you have been to court, lost, refused to pay then an order sought. I take it none of this has happened?

Use the search function, searching for "Rossendale".


This is probably the thread that CM refers to: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5035663

Thats great, thank you very much, I do feel reassured, but initially was concerned (thats how they make theri money)!!
I did try to search Rossendales initially as I can see how frustrated everyone gets with repeat requests, but I couldnt find anything.
I have used the links posted and am happy to sit and wait for the next letter!
Thank you all for your help.

Both companies (Newlyn and Rossendale) are only allowed to send 'debt recovery' letters and these are NOT allowed to state the word 'bailiff' on them. If they do, then a formal complaint should be made to DVLA without delay.

Thanks Sheila

@OP - this is no idle advice. Sheila knows exactly what she is talking about.

For the record I have no link commercial of otherwise to bailiff advice online but have known (for some years) of Sheila's knowledge and good works via her website.

Ooh, gee shucks Sheila. :embarasse

Meant it though. You have provided some really welcome reassurance and valuable guidance to posters here (and elsewhere on MSE) so I'd imagine your name is probably mud in certain quarters?
