Steven Ward woke to find bailiffs knocking at his door after a W on his car registration was mistaken for another letter
A driver was slapped with a £500 fine and had bailiffs sent to his home after a W on his car registration was mistaken for another letter. Steven Ward was warned if he didn't pay they'd take his car - so he stumped up.
He says he heard nothing back - so thought the matter was closed. But Steven got a second letter last December - this time from CDER Group - asking for more money. He’d started work at 4pm the day before and finally hit the sack at 5am - before being awoken at 9am. Steven said: "I could see them taking photos in my drive so I went down to find the letter.
Steve said: "On the phone I had explained what they told me before and they said I didn’t have to pay. But when I told the bailiffs they just said I had to pay or they'd take the cars. Steven says he has since been refunded, and a screenshot of his bank account shows a payment of £499 from CDER Group on January 26. The enforcement firm was approached for comment.
