A baliff from JWB allegedly clamped my car as he had put a letter through my door but when I returned home from work there wasn't a clamp on my car at all, then a week later I got another letter stating that the baliff is collecting my car on the saturday at 9am but he did not turn up but on the monday I went to my car and it was gone so I called the police e to report it stolen but they then said that the Baliff had reported my car stolen to the police and the police had seized my car on his say so as he told them I had removed the clamp!! Two months later the police e still have my car but how can they seize it when they have no proof that I tampered with the clamp?

The issue is whether the vehicle was, in fact, seized by the bailiff.

That seizure could not lawfully have been carried out, unless the bailiff had the authority of the court to do so. Whether the vehicle was clamped or not is irrelevant to that.

If the vehicle was unlawfully seized you have a right of action in damages for trespass to goods. – Torts(interference with goods) Act 1977

So, the question to you is: Was the vehicle unlawfully seized?

You are entitled to see the authority of the bailiff to seize the vehicle.
