Bailiff threat for a disabled driver
by Duncan Smith
A DISABLED pensioner from Clitheroe feared th e bailiffs banging on his door over a park ing fine he thought had been
settled. Brian Boreham (67), of Salthill
Road, left his car in King Street for a few minutes while he popped into
the bank. Unfortunately he forgot to dis
play his blue disabled driver badge, which he is entitled to due to arthri tis and a heart condition. He returned to the car and found

a police officer issuing a parking ticket. When he told the officer he had forgotten to display his badge, he was advised to send a written explanation to Lancashire Magis trates Courts. In due course he received a com
puter printout from the courts office, dated January 15th, stating th a t he must pay a fine of £45 within 14 days. Because he has difficulty with
reading and writing, his sister wrote a letter of explanation, but still enclosed a cheque for £45 in case the fine still had to be paid. Mr Boreham then received a let
ter from Lancashire Magistrates’ Courts Service, dated February 2nd, returning his cheque. The letter stated: “We have
received notice from the Central Ticket Office that the fixed penalty notice has been withdrawn and therefore we have written this fine off and are returning your cheque herewith.” Naturally, Mr Boreham thought
that was the end of the matter and was surprised to receive a second copy of the computerised fine notice dated March 8th, but other wise identical to the first. He assumed it was an administrative error, but was alarmed when a let ter from certified bailiffs Birchalls Ltd arrived at his home. I t stated that £78.50 was due
immediately and that bailiffs had been directed by the Magistrates Court to “visit your premises to seize your goods and chattels and sell them at public auction in order to discharge your debt”. That letter, dated April 21st, was
followed by a second from Birchalls, dated April 28th, which stated that the outstanding debt now stood at £103.50. Signed by certified bailiff “Mr
Smith”, it added: “Should you fail to contact me with your proposal for payment I will return in seven days with a removal van and porter to levy and remove goods”. By now confused, alarmed and

SUPERSTAR Kylie Minogue recent ly revealed th a t she yearns to have a day off from her glamorous lifestyle - to do housework. She enthuses: “I like to do my cup
boards...! do like a good dust. I’ll get my Marigolds on and have a fantastic frenzy.” The rest of us might prefer some spare
time to enjoy her glamorous lifestyle, but indulging in Kylie’s passion would be time ly because Spring is synonymous with cleaning. It is traditional to welcome bright, sunny
days by brushing away cobwebs and fresh en up the home on a grand scale. With some “how to do it” advice from
the experts and some of the latest stylish household utensils, you could find it not only easy but even fun to be a Domestic Goddess.
I BAILIFF REMOVAL NOTICE j MAGISTRATES COURT FINES
angry, Mr Boreham came to the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times office with all the paperwork, which, incidentally, all referred to him wrongly as Brian “Boreman”. After hearing his story, a reporter
made several phone calls on his behalf to try to get to the bottom of the matter. Initially a spokesman a t the
courts office said the fixed penalty notice had been reinstated by the Central Ticket Office and referred the query there. But a spokesman at the ticket office said it was a matter which only the courts office could deal with. Another employee at the ticket
office said the original ticket and the fine were separate and although the fine had been written off, the ticket still had to be paid - informa tion which turned out to be wrong. In a second call to the courts
office, a different employee said the ticket and the fine were not sepa rate amounts and asked us to ring back later when he had been able to investigate further. When the reporter did so, he said
the police had written to Mr Bore ham on January 30th asking for a photocopy of his disabled badge. When it didn’t arrive, the original fine was reinstated, leading to the bailiffs’ letters. But Mr Boreham was adamant
he received no such letter from the police, as he regularly takes all his mail to his sister and together they act on anything important. In any case, he received no noti
fication that the fine had been rein stated. The spokesman at the courts office advised that if Mr Boreham paid the original £45 that same day, he would stop the bailiffs, adding that Mr Boreham might be able to claim the money back at a later date if he could appeal suc
cessfully. Reluctantly Mr Boreham posted
a cheque for £45 the same day, only to lift the imminent prospect of bailiffs calling at his home. A few days later he received a receipt from the courts office confirming the money had been paid and there were no arrears outstanding. Despite the earlier phone calls,
his name was still misspelt on the receipt, and he remains unhappy at his treatment. “I know I'was in the wrong when
I forgot to display my badge, but it was an honest mistake and that’s why I sent the cheque in the first
place,” he said. “'When they sent it back and said
the fine was written off, I thought that was it. I didn’t expect being threatened with the bailiffs. “If the police wrote to me, I did
n’t get it, and why didn’t they write back asking why I hadn’t replied instead of just reinstating the fine
without telling me? “This has caused me a lot of
worry. I just hope i t ’s sorted out now, but I ’d still like to get the
money back.” Our picture shows Mr Boreham
with some of the fines notices and bailiffs’ letters. (CR300404/1)
