Some councils are more sympathetic than others. You may be able to negotiate with the council ( not the bailiffs), if come up with a good excuse for your tardy response (ie problem with nor receiving mail). I worked a deal out for my brother who was in a similar position with mid sussex council. Reduced their claim from £600 to £180. Good luck.

You are answering the 2nd, which arrived Saturday morning! so it is one that possibly got lost in Christmas post which is reasonable to reduce it to the original amount not the 2nd .

Lewisham Borough use NSL Services to control parking on all but Red Routes, A Cut and Paste below is from the council website:
Who issues parking penalty notices?
On red routes, parking penalties are issued by Metropolitan Police traffic wardens. On all other roads in the borough, parking tickets are issued by Lewisham’s parking enforcement contractor NSL Services.
About NSL Services
NSL Services carry out the following functions on our behalf:
parking enforcement
maintenance of pay and display machines
upkeep of parking restriction infrastructure.
If you have a complaints about NSL Services, please contact Lewisham’s Parking Services team on 020 8314 2225.
It appears at first sight Newlyns PLC if that is the company on your notice, is a different company. Follow the link to read what they have been up to:
Newlyn PLC (bailiffs??) NHS Parking Ticket
Hope this helps, i would do more investigation first, especially if you were not parked on the road, but in a car park.

wilko!
You could say you didn't receive the ticket, and of course the letter/fine.its 100% a London Borough council ticket
Unless they can prove you did then it goes back to the original charge.

Out of the councils hands apparently so they have said I need to contact the debt sharks. Apparently they sell the debt chasers and inform me that they apply for this via the court so these debt chasers have the power to enforce a balif. Is this bollox?
I wasn't aware that any council sold debts due on parking tickets.
You need to get over to Pepipoo urgently and post ALL the details of the ticket.
It may also be worth you contacting these people - http://www.bailiffadviceonline.co.uk - it will cost you a tenner but they could save you a fortune.
I should nip it in the bud today. Can you deal with this online. HovaBoy has dealt with both East and West Sussex councils over parking tickets online.

As I expected the debt chasers are after the full whack. They reckon they have made three balif visits to my property on three separate occasions but haven't left a card or even pressed on the buzzer as I was at home on all of these dates. They want the full amount over 3 months without any negotiation. The Manager I spoke to was a pro and you could tell she would murder her own granny for a quid. The Manager has very kindly given me an extra 24 hours before potentially another visit from the bailiff. (cheers)
This is a first I have to say!! There fkin ruthless and wouldn't even consider settling up today on a meet you half way basis. I can pay up but its the principle involved here on the extra charges that have basically been made up!

There are strict guidelines to what bailiffs can do and charge so I'd strongly suggest you use the link I gave you earlier. Being bloody minded and allowing another visit won't help you.
Don't know if its too late but I had this exact same problem with Hastings Council. Once it went to bailiff they wouldn't deal with it.
After speaking with them tho I submitted a "statutory declaration" through the courts.
They then cancelled the court order that allowed the bailiff to enforce and was allowed to pay the original ticket.

This is absurd.
The threat of bailiffs over a sodding parking ticket? There's absolutely no need for this over the top attitude. Perhaps we should all take this sort of aggressive approach to utilities, authorities, banks etc when they owe us money, treat us poorly etc and see how they like the aggro.

To be fair, it only generally gets to bailiffs when people have ignored the correspondence. Even the OP has stated that he got notification in December. I don't know his reason for not dealing with it then but the answer is not to ignore council tickets.

Its exhausting reading up on it info gathering. They try and catch you out when you speak to them as well. The worst thing for me is threatening another visit if I don't agree to there rip off offer absolute crooks. I gather the laws are due to change soon but as these firms are making it up as they go along last time I get a ticket that's for sure!
I have to ask, why didn't you just pay it at the £35 level ?
