Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

No they didn't tell me when he would collect it but they have taken the car to the police station.

I haven't made any payments. I tried to make a payment last weekend but when I tried I couldn't as Marstons had removed my account details and my reference number didn't work

Hi cleverclogs,

No I didn't get a receipt for the car. The police woman took me to my car to empty it then I handed the keys over to her.

No

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

The police have now in fact taken my car for the bailiff to sell. I have handed over the keys but i still have the v5 document.

Did you get a receipt?

Did Police Sergeant Blockhead tell you when the bugger would take your car, to complete his apparently condoned theft?

How much - if any - of the money demanded had you paid?

It could even be excellent, as it suggests to me that those stupid worzel-heads already knew that no offence had been committed.


Utter nonsense.

Sue the Chief Constable for the return of your car, as well as seeking damages from the plods and Marstons for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment.

If Marstons starts to lose money because of the antics of its morons, they might start to improve.

Good idea CleverClogs, these muoppets in police and marstons need to be taught what the law actually is.

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

Didn't that stupid woodentop realise he'd just aided and abetted (if not actually been part of) an offence of blackmail?

No because the woodentop thinks that marstons bailiffs by collecting for HMCS are as if they are job, so will think the sun shines from the bailiffs anus, unfortunately. The poor woodentop will have a nasty shock when they have been party to blackmail and possible fraud. they will be mortified. In the meantime kim must allow Celestine to progress this to the CEO of marstons, and seed if reason will prevail.

I now have a NFA which is good

I tried to explain about the bailiff and the non existent clamping order and the fact that he does not even appear to be on the bailiff register but they said I committed a criminal offence and had to hand over my car

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

Thanks Bluebottle,

I have just private messaged Celestine about this and asked for her to have a read through.

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

It was a policeman as he left a voicemail an I called him back through the police station. I have explained the situation to the policeman and he is saying he will try and come to some kind of arrangement with the bailiff about all of this and call me back and let me know what he said. The bailiff came here this morning and realised the car had been moved and called the police and reported it stolen. I told the policeman I am not refusing to pay but can not pay all in one go and explained my circumstances. He was quite sympathetic with me and said the bailiff said the charges would be dropped if I paid in full.

Kim,

I am going to bring this matter to the attention of Celestine. This may need to be pursued with Marston's CEO and, possibly, HMCTS at high level.

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

Thanks cleverclogs

I now have a NFA which is good but I am also without a car. I tried to explain about the bailiff and the non existent clamping order and the fact that he does not even appear to be on the bailiff register but they said I committed a criminal offence and had to hand over my car

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

Except that it is not a criminal offence!

It's another case that Marstons (who claimed remorse over another of their thugs) should try to rectify, if one is to believe any of their claims about "professional conduct". Your local police farce may also need some "percussive re-education", as Brother Bluebottle might put it.

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

Hello,

Well I have just come back from the police station. I was arrested for theft of a motor vehicle today!! I was questioned the police put me in a cell, searched my house while I was there and took all of my dna, fingerprints etc. They have sided with the bailiff and taken my car even though they did feel for me.
I was stopped by police a few days ago who said my car was reported as stolen, but they could see it wasn't and took the stolen tag off but a police officer got in touch yesterday and said I needed to be questioned as it is a criminal offence.

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

The route for complaints regarding enforcement on behalf of HMCTS is -

Area Enforcement Managers (AEM) -> Regional Contracts Managers (RCM) -> Heads of Enforcement Operations (HEO) -> Director of Enforcement Operations (DEO) -> CEO HMCTS

The aim is to have matters deal with, ideally, at AEM level or, failing this, RCM level. Most complaints appear to be resolved at RCM level. However, a recent FOIA request I made to HMCTS provoked a response from the Assistant to one of the HEOs and complaints, especially those involving malpractice and violence on the part of contracted bailiff companies, can be referred to HMCTS at that level.

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

Shouldn't this really be dealt with at Corporate Governance level?

The Chief Executive of HMCTS is one Peter Handcock.

Yes, really...

Lets hope he is more effective than his name suggests
