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

[Leakie]

BA case number 1

 

If there is a receipt for the payment of the vehicle, made by some one else ( not the debtor )

Why would the owner of the vehicle, have to prove if they taxed and insured the said vehicle.

The proof of payment should be enough.

the keeper of the vehicle is responsible, for tax and insurance.

so surely a receipt should be enough.

 

And if a receipt can be produced as proof of ownership

why should it have to go through the courts to accept who the rightful owner is,

The receipt should be enough proof

 

Seems to me that it has been swayed to much in the the favour of the EA.

If the proof of payment had been presented to the EA, and the took the vehicle away.

It should be reported to the police as a theft?

So what if that is the case a receipt can not be proof in any legal case

so what is the point of a receipt. in legal terms

The police accept this as proof of payment and ownership.

 

So the Ea should accept this as well

 

Can not be the case one or the other in law not both

Thanks Grumpy for your reply,

I know the police would not always just accept a receipt.

 

Just to give an example

Family struggling financially, The old car becomes beyond economical repair,

They need a transport, for getting to work etc

 

Parents buy the car from a dealer, but let them use it, until they get back on there feet.

 

So the debtor has transport, but they must tax and insure

how would that work out.

 

What I am trying to say it is not always black and white.

 

Can you give your view on this Grumpy as you are an EA

[Leakie]

Thank you for that Grumpy

 

I understand what you are saying,

Good to get an opinion from an expert on the ground, as such

 

Shame most EA's are not the same as you and HESO

I did not realise that for council Tax they can not check the registered owner,

So a receipt should be acceptable as proof of ownership, as long as it is not obvious it has been made to evade the debt.

well if that is the case the reg need to be changed,

It is becoming obvious to me that there needs to be checks before a levy is made
