OK

Have you contacted NDL, If you are not the registered keeper of the car then you need to write to BS and tell them. Also if the car is disproportionate in value to the arrears mention this aswell (remember the sale will be at auction) They cannot take a £7000 car for a £100 debt, but they will try.

Walsall council said that they would not take mine back. but they did!!! eventually.

write to dvla and get a letter off them,. you need to ask them if you were ever the registered owner and if so form what dates.

Bristow and Sutor..... (((shudders)))

Hateful people. Many years back (I owed money on poll tax) they tried to smash my front door down. I'm quite small (5ft), with these 2 huge guys, no escape route and my 6 day old newborn daughter in my arms.

Terrifying experience. Was saved by my parents who were coming to visit their gorgeous new grand daughter.

I wish you the best of luck sorting them out. xx

i have never been the registered keeper of the vehicle and the owner has told the BS bailif this, but they still want to take it.

A bailiff collecting tax cannot charge a letter fee. He can charge just £24.50 for a 1st visit and £18.00 for a 2nd visit. In order to get a decent fee he would need to gain entry into your home and persuade you to sign a walking possession. This will not only give him fees of £11 for the WP but a "levy" fee as well.

Crucially, by gaining entry he will then be able to charge an "attending to remove/van fee" if you are just a day or so late in making the agreed payment.

In your case....and in 9 similar cases that our office have seen just today...the bailiff has "levied" upon a car owned by someone else. So many bailiff's are resorting to this.

You need to write IMMEDIATELY to the bailiff company to inform them that the vehicle is not owned by you and provide details of the owner. This is important as a bailiff is allowed by law to assume that goods are owned by you but the onus of proof is on you to prove otherwise.

In your letter you need to state very clearly that you require all of the fees and charges applied to your account for this invalid levy to be returned immediately. I would also suggest that you state that you now have serious concerns about the motives of their bailiffs, and wish to inform them that you now do not feel that you cannot trust a bailiff from their company to come into your home and that you will not sign a Walking Possession.


Ask that they confirm that the only fees that have been applied are just a first visit fee of £24.50.

There is further info here under the heading of Council Tax.

So they can only charge the first visit fee? I have also been told by the guy that he can make me sign the walking papers even if i refuse to.Ok I will try and brave here , I've written to BS twice this week and I will take all the advice given here and report back shortly. I treied talking to BS and they are very well trained at intimidation via phone.Hopefully they will see sense and accept my payment terms.

Take a look at this video. Its rossendales but you will see a familiar situation.

Bailiffchaser thank you for the video.

Kel123 & Herbie21 , thank you so much I called everyone you mentioned and they are all very supportive this is how things went:

1) Don't let the B&S in the house
2) Write to local authority to take back debt and metion national debt agency advice as well as that B&S are not helping the situation.
3) B&S £200 charges are illegal and i will write to them that I will only pay £42.50
4) Ask B&S to drop all excess charges
5) Report B&S to Civil Enforcement Agencies Association & Enforcement Services Association
6) Stop talking to B&S verbally
7) Tell B&S in writting that National Debt Agency are aware of their unscroupulous way of business
8) Ask B&S for a statement of account

Thanks again to everyone I am certain the war is not over yet so I will keep you updated....
