Men in black now......

We tried to contact CDER at its offices in Darlington, with no luck.

What a surprise...!

He was brisk. 'Listen, you have had 14 months to deal with this, so why has it taken so long? My officer will carry out his duties.'

The agent moved to enter my gate. I asked him to stand away. 'Look,' he said. 'I'm here to seize that car behind you.'

Normal thuggish behaviour from all I see!

When I later looked at the agent's scribbled paperwork, it was clear he had not been given any order from the court to seize my car, nor could I see any authority to arbitrarily increase the fine from £278 to £513.

What a surprise - a bailiff being untruthful!

John Mason, CDER's director for road traffic and road user charging services, says: 'There is no doubt the agent in question fell far short of our procedures and protocols and he is the subject of an internal disciplinary procedure. I can only apologise for your experience.'

What he really meant was, "Ohhhh you found us out, darn, I shall give him a slap on the wrists and tell him to smile next time as he is lying and following our normal operating procedure"
Shame the bailiff wasn't named after all the register is public.
