How can theft be a civil matter :huh:

how can it be theft if the op phones the bailiff (recording the call) and tells him to come and get his clamp

lets not forget the bailiff has unlawfully clamped this car and is using it as a form blackmail to claim unlawful fees

the bailiff has been informed the car does not belong to the debtor the threat of removal is just that a threat he knows he cant remove it so he has clamped it instead in the hope the debtor will pay up including his unlawful fees
if the debtor offered the bailiff his £42.50 in legitimate fees do you think the bailiff would remove the clamp NO he wouldn't

if its damaged that could be a different story

also the op isn't responsible for the little scrotes that removed the clamp in the middle of the night and took it to sell for scrap

The bailiff has dishonestly appropriated property, belonging to another, with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it.

That's theft.

The bailiff has committed theft, and the police should take action, for this criminal offence.

i agree you are right but getting the police to act against a bailiff ain't going to happen any time soon unfortunately

It might, if you involve your MP, the local papers, etc.

Easiest thing you can do is pay the fees owed asap.
