Talking about bailiffs, I have just had a visit from one of these idiots trying to recover a parking fine.
This is the first time he has called about this parking fine, originally for the standard £40. The note he left says his fee for calling just this once is £595.34p.
I happen to know the fee is a complete fiction and a blatant attempt at fraudulently extorting money from me, and entirely illegal.
The last time I actually saw a bailiff I told him to p**s off because I wasn’t going to tell him who I was – whether I was actually his intended target or not.
I snarled at him he was a parasite. He seemed to come over all hurt and aggrieved, almost tearful, and said ‘You don’t have to get personal. I’m only doing my job.’
I replied no decent human being would doing that job; ie going around extorting money from perfectly ordinary law abiding people this authoritarian Labour Government brands as criminals for simply using their cars.
Then reason I know the fee is illegal is because I have learnt about it at the CONSUMER ACTION GROUP forums – very useful. Do have a look. There is bound to be something it can help everyone with.
As a currently unemployed full time single parent my only income is about £100 per week of state benefits. Parking fines of £40 for completely ludicrous circumstances, rapidly escalating by hundreds of pounds is a monstrous act of extortion by the government. It is time we all did something about it.
What about everyone simply refusing to pay any parking fines at all. That would sort the thieves out because there would just be absolutely nothing they could do about it except change the law.
This government is rapidly making Britain into a totalitarian state – just like those wacky dictatorships like Burma etc.
