    And UKCPS remain liable for his actions...
    Early morning raid on the caravan at the rear of the Blooming Rose? I bet that shredder is getting red hot right now!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Here's the redacted letter.

    I hadn't mention this earlier but here goes.

    The fees being charge do not in fact mirror the fees that can be charged by a certificated bailiff. They actually mirror the fees charged by the High Court Enforcement Agent (which is even worse) !!!

    The fee scale that this debt was being enforced under is outlined under Table 2 of the fee regs:

    http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1/schedule/made?view=plain

    For High Court debts, a Compliance fee of £75 can be applied and with the addition of VAT (which only HCEO's may charge) brings the charge to £90.

    For the attendance, a fee of £210 may be charged which with VAT comes to £235.

    It really is dreadful.

    so has the gentleman broken a specific law by charging High Court Enforcement Agent rates ?

    is this a specific charge that may get him/companies licence revoked?

    Vat on £210 would be £42 which makes £252; it looks like they have simply taken the £235 fixed fee and missed off the VAT.

    Perhaps Section 40?

    ''A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine of not more than £100, and on a second or subsequent conviction to a fine of not more than £400.''
    Big deal! Hope much more by way of sanction/bans falls upon all involved, like a ton of bricks.

    This is the company https://ukcps.com. It's only based a short drive away from where I was issued the ticket. Makes sense as the owners live in Garforth, which is a few miles away as well.
    I'll remove his number now and edit my drop box again, if you can remover the other picture please?
