Someone else's parking ticket.......
Discussion
This is on behalf of my boss,
The Storey so far.......
We have a company van, it has been lent to another employee, (who has now left, the tickets are now a few months old) who in turn has been up in manchester at weekends to see his new girlfriend. Whilst up there he has managed to accrue 4 parking tickets, these tickets have not been paid by said bloke, we have now recived a letter from baliffs saying they are coming to take £'s property to pay fine. how do we go about getting the money off Ex employee? do we have to pay themand then pursue him through the small claims court or is this just the long winded pain in the arse way?
we also have to pay chages to the lease company who have charged us £15+vat for sending these onto us!!

isn't this just 2 separate issues
1. the owner of the vehicle is liable for the parking tickets
2. the ex-employee owes the firm for the expenses
thanks for the replt Gozomark,1. the owner of the vehicle is liable for the parking tickets
2. the ex-employee owes the firm for the expenses
yes i suppose this is 2 different things there is also a third being the ex-employee has also not brought the van back to the office so it is now being flagged by ANPR for TWOC!!! but the main thing was how do we go about getting the expenses from the ex-employee?
Were all these parking offences dealt with by Local Authority?
If so then it looks through your non payment they have Registered the debt at a County Court.
Go to http://www.fair-parking.co.uk
Click on Enforcement Procedures. Read Items 6 of 7 and 7 of 7.
If they are tickets for overstaying on a private park i.e. Supermarket etc, then in brief, the contract was with your errant driver, not the firm, and it is he who they should be pursing. There is no obligation to name the driver.
You must have had some previous notices - i.e. 28 days not paid notice to owner? Procrastination does not pay.

they are from manchester council, we have 3 non payment notices and 1 baliff action notice, the reason for the baliff action is that the Ex-employee said he was going to pay for it, our costs now stand at just over £400
