how to fight council pcn and bailiff

Posts: 4 Newbie
Hello everyone,
I am stuck in a bad situation and I would like to ask you for your help. Long short story:
Since May 2016 until 1 month ago I have received 5 PCNs from the Council's Traffic Wardens and because in this period I had some employment problems and had no money I was unable to pay them. About 3 weeks ago I went to the Parking Shop in my town to ask them about my PCNs and if I can get to on agreement with the Council to pay them in weekly instalments and they have advised me to write a letter and told me that one PCN is now dealt with by the Bailiffs. By the time I had the letter ready to post it I started receiving phone calls from somebody that was saying he is a bailiff and I owe them £400 for all of them in one lump sum or they will tow my vehicle away or seize personal assets.
What can I do in this situation? I have to mention that I will get paid only at the end of December and until then I cannot afford to pay.
PS: As far as I know they need some court writ or something like that and I have not received anything related to this since then (I have moved in September and my previous landlord did not gave anything related to this problem) . Also I have some hearing problems and I think I've read something about me being in "vulnerable persons" category and they are not allowed to touch my car/personal assets.
Sorry for such a long post and any help would be welcome.
Thanks very much.

You will get good advice on bailiffs and debt etc if you post this in the debt free wannabe forum elsewhere on the MSE forum
Also try the bailiff advice online website:http://bailiffadviceonline.co.uk/
And bailiff help forum: http://www.bailiffhelpforum.co.uk/0 -
I will try this, thanks for your help. I thought to post here because I have read a few things about the process of PCN to become a debt to bailiffs like Charge Certificate, Notice to Owner, Court writ, etc and I thought my problem is more related to PCN than debts. Anyway I will try there as well. Thanks again.0
