If a Vehicle has been seized by bailiffs....what you shouldn't do !!!

I have a problem where EA don't check car details. I had an outstanding council tax bill, and a well known bailiff firm came out about 3 years ago, seized a car, charged me extra for the privilege and would not listen to what I had to say and kept on insisting I had to pay the extra fees (this was under old fee structure about 4 years ago)

 

I eventually even got my MP involved and all the time the local police were looking for a stolen car.

 

The car actually belonged to someone about 8 doors up the road who had parked in the road near my house. I believe the car's owner came to an out of court settlement with the bailiff company in question.

No, this was Rossendales. About 6 months after the Blaby Council and LGO report. Shows you they didn't really care.

Absolutely right. DVLA access is only available online for road traffic debts (not that it is needed anyway as the warrant of control states upon it the vehicle registation mark). This was a main complaint with the 'Blaby' report.

 

BA, out of curiousity, why did the LGO and then the Blaby council afterwards consider it was unacceptable "for the bailiffs to carry out a levy on the vehicles without a DVLA check" ?

 

And why are they not allowed to do DVLA checks for Council Tax? Is this because it is in essence a civil matter?
