CCJ & Sheriffs Office High Court Baliffs

In a tricky situation, i live in rented accomodation and my parents have moved in with me about 2 years ago. I share the same name with my father, apart from our middle name which is different.
My father has the high court enforcement officers on him, a few weeks back i returned home to find my car on a lowloader being taken away. After pleading with the baliffs and the police who were there, that it was not my debt, but my fathers, they took no notice as it was the same name on the logbook as it was on their paperwork. To cut a long story short, i got my car back the same day as they had realised after i called their office they had made a mistake.
My father has now had another letter from them, saying that if he has not paid his debt within 7 days they will come back to seize goods and will force entry.
My next dilemma's are:
1) If they force entry, or come into the house can they take MY possensions? Do i have to prove they are mine?
2) My father has a van, that he still owes money on (logbook in his name though) - its his only vehicle which he uses to work, he works for me part time and i keep all my tools in it. If they take the van can i take my tools out first?
3) Basically, how do i stop them taking things that are mine and not his? My parents dont own much
4) What sort of possesions are they looking to take? We live in rented accomodation, there's nothing of value in the house?
look forward to your replys as im really stuck on this one
