Billlbog,
In relation to a' Penalty Charge Notice, follow the process of applying for an N244 to the County Court, I can confirm that the Penalty Charge Notice should be placed on hold. Whilst Nigel helps you.
What ever you do!! , dont let the Bailiffs in , no matter what tricks they use to gain entry. Also check on their fees, they are only allowed to charge £24.00 for the first letter, and to be frank, once they know you have learnt your rights, they tend to back off, And they cant just turn up they must write to you first.
Also worth Checking
The Bailiffs Rights of Entry
The Bailiff cannot force entry into a domestic property. The bailiff can walk through an open door, climb over a garden wall, enter through an unlocked door or climb through an open window.
The Bailiff can force entry and seize goods if a debtor defaults on a Walking Possession Agreement.A Walking Possession Agreement can only be made after peaceful entry.
Walking Possession Agreement
This is an agreement signed by the debtor which allows the goods to remain with the debtor as long as they keep to a payment arrangement. However if the debtor defaults on a payment arrangement the bailiff can return, force entry, and seize the goods.
Good luck
