It is the practice of bailiffs companies to trace debtors with unpaid traffic debts by sending out a Notice of Enforcement, or other demand to a list of addresses they think might be the debtor. It is a form of phishing to see if anyone responds to the demand.

Do not contact the bailiff company.

They will send bailiffs round under a pretence it is to verify you are telling the truth, but they will clamp vehicles to make you pay telling you to appeal later and reclaim the money.

If the demand is in your name, or your company's name, then you can appeal the traffic convention even if you have never owned the vehicle bearing the registration on the document.

On the TE9/PE2 form, you do not tick any of the options as your grounds to appeal, instead, write on the form the following:

Send the completed forms together with the bailiff document showing the vehicle registration involved in the contravention to tec@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk and that stops the enforcement power.

The TEC will (should) return the case back to the issuing council to decide what they want to do with the unpaid PCN.
