JBW Baliffs increasing cost

quiggd

Long story short I appealed a parking fine and lost. By the time I had finished my numerous appeal the fine had gone up to £158 and had been passed onto a firm called JBW, This was paid on payday. I recently received a text from JBW so I e-mailed them to say I have paid the £158 in full. They replied to my e-mail showing an outstanding balance of £235 after taking into account the £158 paid. They said I didn’t pay in time.

Are they allowed to do this?

Someone has come round to clamp my car today but luckily I was out.
Any advice is much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Are they allowed to do this?

Allowed to do what? Clamp or increase the bill?

This is a council parking ticket where it will escalate to clamping if you do not pay. And since there are over 1mn of these parking tickets passed out to bailiffs each year, it is a certainty they can do this.

I meant that they can increase the fine when I have agree a time to pay. Just because they do it 1million times doesn’t mean it’s right

No, but it increases the odds that it is.

£235 is te attendance fee; if yo upaid before they attended, pretty sure theyre stuffed.
Park the car in a locked garage. NOT accessible from the street. Important.
