Urgent help with parking tickets and bailiffs

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
While on holiday in Whitby with my parter, we parked outside outside the Bnb. He was given two tickets, one because he accidentally gave the wrong date of arrival on the permit he paid for at the Bnb and another because he circled the dates with s pen instead of scratched them off like a scratch card.
He was sent the penalty charge notices and waited until the next stage when it was brought to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. He submitted his evidence for both PCNs.
Today he received a letter from the bailiffs saying they would be coming with a warrant in a week.:eek:
He spoke to the who said his second appeal must have been binned and to fill in a TE7 form which would allow a late consideration to be made and that the bailiffs will be put on hold.
The evidence he submitted included booking confirmation for the bnb and photos of the tickets. He paid 50p for the permit at the bnb
Sorry for the rambling, my question is do you think he has a case in the appeal? Do you think the bailiffs are gone for good now? If he does have to pay will there be extra charges made if he loses? Although he has a fair income he wouldn't be able to pay any large fines due to the large number of direct debits he's got and what do you think would happen in that situation?
Apologies if the post isn't very clear
Thanks for your help

Assuming council PCN ?

If not council then head over to the parking fines part of thus forumEx forum ambassador

The order of priority is that payment of penalties and fines comes before debt repayments. He'd have to stop making debt repayments and pay the fines instead.
The problem is that you also have a car which a bailiff can easily levy against and if you fail to pay there and then they'll just take it as long as it isn't on finance. Hiding it down the street might not work as they know what car they are looking for. You'd need to park it in a garage or on someone else's land out of sight of the road.
So get that late consideration in ASAP.
You've got to scratch them. Circling with a pen doesn't count. I'd try but I don't feel it would be successful.
