I had a bailiff clamp my car at work today over £2.50 dart charge that I Was informed about six months after event happened
My car is on finance they emailed him saying take clamp off after 2 hours of him at work in front of my boss and all customers arguing.
Said I would need to wait until 8pm tonight. This was at 2pm today.
I waited at work till 8pm he then called to say he’s not taking it off. I’ve even offered to pay so much a month. He has said no! Full payment or no car!
Can they do this. He has come into my work, divulged private data about me to reception and my boss. All the bloody members watching too

I think you would be better taking this to pepipoo.com, as they ae the council/police motoring experts. You will need to register on pepipoo with a non Hotmail account.
In addition, you should contact Sheila at Bailiff Advice Online. She has a good reputation on this site.

It was a £2.50 charge. Didn’t know about it until received a call 6 months later. It’s now £4350

When you say "bailiff" is he from the county or high court? Did he have a court order? Had you not had any previous correspondence about this?PLEASE NOTEMy advice should be used as guidance only. You should always obtain face to face professional advice before taking any action.0

Either way, the clamp on the lease vehicle is illegal
Inform him that he has until X time today to remove it, otherwise you will arrange for it to be removed at THEIR expense0
