Enforcement Steps:
Initial Notice: In the event that your vehicle is found parked in a mobility parking space without prominently displaying a valid mobility parking permit on your dashboard, issued by authorised entities such as CCS Disability Action or Sommerville, a breach notice will be issued.
This notice serves as an official notification of the violation and outlines the associated fee.
The recipient will be provided with a period of 28 days to settle the fee.
Administration Fee and Debt Collection: Should the specified fee not be paid within the allotted 28-day period, an additional administration fee will be imposed to cover the costs associated with managing the outstanding breach notice.
At this stage, your unpaid debt will be transferred to a reputable debt collection agency, tasked with recovering the outstanding amount.
Default and Credit Rating Impact: Failure to address the outstanding debt will result in the declaration of a default. This formal declaration signifies non-compliance with financial obligations and will have consequences for your credit rating.
It is important to note that a negative credit rating can impede future credit applications and financial endeavors. It is therefore strongly advised to promptly settle any outstanding fees to avoid such implications.
Further Enforcement Measures: If your debt remains unresolved, additional enforcement measures may be initiated to address the outstanding obligations. These measures could potentially include pursuing legal action, such court filings.
While legal action is considered a last resort, it may become necessary to uphold the integrity of the enforcement process and ensure compliance.
These enforcement steps are implemented to maintain the fairness, accessibility, and proper utilisation of mobility parking spaces. It is essential for all individuals to comply with the regulations and take prompt action in addressing any violations to avoid further consequences.
