Vehicle Clamped!!

phonique

Hi,

The fine is £420. The car is worth at about £5000 Though when I go on insurance comparing websites it says the car is worth £4500. I bought it for £5600 about 8 months ago.

Just pay the bill then, you won't be able to run away from the problem now they've tracked you down.

Hi,

I understand what you're saying. But I refuse to pay on principle. Now I'm trying to ensure they will not get a penny. So to my question. If I do what I proposed in my previous reply will they have a covet, legally, on the car? Or will it be out of their reach after it is no longer legally my possession ?

What principle is it? They'll know you've caused criminal damage and presumably the vehicle will be reported as stolen therefore on the Police's radar.

Hi,

How does that factor into if they can sell or take the car if I transfer it into my parent's possession?

It was in their control prior but after I "sell" it to my parents and it is no longer my possession they don't have a claim to it anymore correct?

Regards,

You can transfer to your parents. However, Bailiffs (and the Courts’) are wise to this ruse. You would need to demonstrate that they had paid you for it. That it was a reasonable sum received. You would also need to show the funds transferred to you, normally in to your bank account.

If the car then “mysteriously” came under your control again potentially you could then be accused of deception.

Not worth the potential of being criminally prosecuted for what is a trifling amount. And the same applies to the possible criminal damage charge if you try and cut off the clamp.

You’ve had a good run, but the time is up.

Hi,

The principle that I think the ticket was unfair in the first place. Ah ok. So that makes sense. They will report it stolen because it is in their possession. However I have got a good excuse. I am a registered carer for my dad. He requires help with daily living. I will argue there was an emergency and I had to take the car to help my dad. Anyway. I'd still like to know. Given that I had admitted to taking back the vehicle/cutting the clamp(for good reason) and then also selling the vehicle straight after(LoL) (putting it into my parents possession). Legally do the Baillifs have the power to take the car from my parents?

Edit- I would get my parents to transfer me 4k - bank statement for proof. I'll transfer back at a later date and also get insured on the car in my parent's possession. Does that resolve everything?

You're daydreaming! You think nobody else has tried this?:rotfl:

Your plan is doomed and you will get a criminal conviction. When you lost a Council PCN at adjudication, that was the time to pay.

NOT the same if this has been a private scam PCN, but it's a Council one and they send bailiffs - and as others have said, your time is up.

as the bailiffs have clamped it, it is now under their control (the paperwork left on the vehicle will state this) and disposing of it I will be a criminal matter.
