Re: Bristow and sutor payments and bailifs

Cirrus what exactly was this recent case can you enlighten us a bit more please ?

without going into 2 much detail, there has been instances where cars have been removed and have been subject to " Log Book Loans " the debtor has had car removed by bailiff which has resuled in high claims against bailiff company as these were unlawful resulting in lots of cars being returned, therefore no more removals of vehicles arebeing done until further notice

Thankyou Ciruss for making that a lot clearer.

What is the difference between the 2 types of Bailiff?

1 ) a levy bailiff is the first contact made and will come to discuss your option for payment and gain " walk in possession "

2 ) a van bailiff will attend to enforce " walk in possession " normally leaving a letter to contact then using scare tactics to gain payment with threats to remove thus justifying the levy bailiff fee of @£24 and the van bailiff fee of upto £280

What is the difference between the 2 types of Bailiff?

One is officious, tells lies and makes threats, whilst the other drives a van.

I am guessing that there is no way of checking from a bailiff's point of view whether a car is subject to logbook loans.

FWIW, Steff, I've been down the road you're in right now - as have many of those who are now doing their best to help you right now. FFS - You've even got a bailiff on your side !!! I just want to say this, if I may.

Your Local Council has a responsibility to collect that damned Council Tax - and YOU have a responsibility to pay it. Sure, it is a right rectal pain, but we need to fund the street lighting from somewhere !!

Your Local Council has to deal with all sorts of scroungers - Jeremy Kyle celebs, if you like. They have to do this with the few minimal tools they are equipped with, and they cannot afford to pussy-foot around. Times are tight - as ever !!!

If you give them no response, then they MUST act accordingly. If you give them an abusive - or otherwise negative - response, then they MUST act accordingly.

If you deal with them as fellow human beings, and SHOW them that you are sincere, then I really do believe that you might get somewhere. They need to be able to distinguish decent peeps like yourself from the awful denizens of their 'no-go areas'. You seem to have given them an indication of this, already.

I feel sure that you will be given decent treatment if you can clearly identify yourself as one who is NOT attempting to abdicate their responsibilities. And - if not - then you will have sufficient evidence to show a court that YOU were acting as reasonably as could possibly have been expected in your circumstances.

Just my 'umble opinion, ma'am - but I needed you to know that you are not alone, as I believe the others here have demonstrated, already.

Hope I've helped - in my own small way.
