    Ignore the stuff about ANPR, they are talking out of their own backsides.  However if they do see your car on the street they can likely clamp it pending you coughing up, but this can only be done by high court bailiffs.  They wont be using ANPR to do this though.

    I would suggest not leaving it directly outside you house.
    That isnt the case sorry. This does happen. Its a big thing in London.
  • What happens in London? A non high court certified bailiff has access to ANPR?!

    The Met police in conjunction with various london councils run ANPR traps where they get a "hit" police stop the car and its then siezed if the driver etc etc doesnt pay up.

    Right so not in conjunction with Marstons debt collection agency then?

    Yes including the bailiff firm who will sieze the car if no payment made etc
    It could be marstons or jacobs for example (who do it a lot)

    It featured on TV a few years back, with the Marstons woman grinning like a blonde shark as the Police and Council wrongly used ANPR to assist a bailiff.  Outside of their powers I think and this was discussed at length on pepipoo forum.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
