    In that case it sounds like its akin to a lease car, so that would mean then no they cannot clamp or tow as you are not the registered keeper. But you are advised that if they see a car on a driveway they will probably clamp first and ask questions later. Most bailiff firms break various laws at some stage

    And by the way don't leave them into your property at all, don't leave any doors on the latch or windows open until this is sorted, no matter what they say

    Always best to get advice, if we don't know the answer we can normally direct to other sources who may.

    I don't see Collectica's name there, are they (as usual) acting as debt collectors rather than bailiffs?

    That is why it's best to go bailiff advice now, I am not affiliated with that site at all, it's just that Sheila is really good with advice and help on this
