Please help! Hackney council notice of enforcement

TravisBickle007

I sold a car in June 2019 and around October/November I started receiving multiple speeding tickets, DVLA threatening to take me to court for car being seen with no tax, bus lane tickets, no right turn tickets etc. from various organisations including a number of London Borough Councils, TFL, DVLA and the Police.
It appears the V5 got lost in the post and I was never removed as the registered keeper.
After many months of hard work, appealing every ticket and providing as much information as possible I managed to get them all cancelled except one - Hackney Council for a prohibited turn.  They rejected my appeal on the grounds of lack of supporting evidence and gave me a charge certificate.  I wrote to them again supplying further evidence and documentation from the Police and DVLA, they never wrote back, I never paid the fine and forgot all about it.  Next thing I know I get a notice of enforcement letter from a company called Newlyn saying a court judgement has been made against me, I have failed to pay and I now have to pay them £278 to settle the debt. They're threatening to remove goods from the house.
I had absolutely no knowledge of this supposed court judgement that took place and was not given the opportunity to dispute it or attend court.  Just get this letter out of the blue saying a judgement has been made and I have to pay the enforcement company / bailiffs.
I rung Newlyn expecting them to be sympathetic, I was very polite but all I got was a !!!!!! attitude from the bloke on the phone saying I have to pay or they'll remove goods.  Tough !!!!!! basically.
Do I have any options at this point or do I just have to stomach the £278 for someone else's actions?

As we major on private parking tickets here, PePiPoo will be your best bet for council tickets. Register there but please note that a hotmail address won't work - try using a throwaway gmail account instead if you do have trouble registering and post a new thread; here's your link:

Have a read through some of the other threads there before you post your own to get the hang of what information they need from you in your opening post - but as a minimum you will need to post redacted photos/scans of all correspondence you've received from the council (both sides, if appropriate) as they need to see all the small print.

Thanks!  I'll give it a try.

You will not have been told of a court hearing. There was not one, is why. It is automatically registered. 
Forgetting about it is a terrible idea, as now you have to file (and will have to pay for) a OOT form and statement, and its a pain.

Thanks for your responses guys.  I went to Pepipoo.  Looks like I goofed by simply replying to their rejection notice with further evidence which they clearly just decided to ignore.  I didn't appeal to the adjudicator so looks like I'll have to suck this one up :-(

Live and learn.

Thanks again!

Yes, you had the opportunity to appeal to the adjudicator - next time!
