Any advice you can give would be appreciated please as I am sick with worry and I seem to owe this company more and more by the day.
Last year my car broke down and I got two parking tickets. I immediately joined the rac and sent the joining information to The Parking Shop at Kingston upon Thames but they refused to accept this as evidence and said the fines stand. I tried to get more information from the RAC but kept getting a call centre who never wrote the letter I needed to prove I had broken down and received a call out, they just kept sending me my joining letter.
The fines were then sent apparently to Court although I never received the date and time of the appointment and are now with a company called CSS who are writing to me with differing amounts on a weekly basis. I do not have one letter with the same outstanding amount on and actually paid one for £108.16 which they say was late and as such was sent back to court (again, I did not receive notification of a date and time) and now they want another few hundred pounds on top of that!
A baliff arrived today to take my car away and I said that I would pay the amount outstanding but it is a fortune and not the same as other letters I have received. He also told me to pay him in cash not send a cheque to the office as it would mean another delay.
I am not sure whether to pay this Baliff on Thursday in cash or not. They could come back and say I owe even more money. How much does it cost to go to court? Did they really go back to court? Who can I ask to look into this for me as when I call the company they do not seem very helpful at all nor know what they are talking about. Should I go back to The Parking Shop and speak to them? Write to the court? I am not even sure what court dealt with the issue. I am in a terrible state with this.
Any help you can give would be very much appreciated.
