Bailiffs clamped car, enforcement order in different name, please help.

[Guest]

Hello, I wonder if anyone might help me?

A bailiff has clamped my car and has called a tow truck to take it away for unpaid parking charges. the problem is the enforcement notice says jack robinson and my name is james robinson. the car is registered and owned by me, not the name on the enforcement order. can they still take it? the police were called and they didnt know the answer. the police said it was a civil matter and that i need to contact a solicitor and the bailiffs should continue their removal and i take it up with them later. i cannot find an open solicitor on a saturday. can anyone here help at all?

Leaving the name issue for now - do you have any knowledge of the unpaid tickets? Were these for Council or private parking?

As for the name issue then the name the Bailiff has will be that as given by the DVLA on the date these tickets were incurred. As for the difference between Jack & James then I would say it would not matter, if it were Brian & James then that would be another matter. You need to check your V5 first then call DVLA to see what they have on file.
