Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

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

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!!

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.

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

Thanks Bluebottle,

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

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.

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.

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

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?

[kim481]

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

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!!

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

In that case complaint to the MOJ and your MP, as marstons have prevented you from making a payment, as to the copper, you need a reciept so complaint to Chief constable and the Commissioner for your area.

There are two attitudes in the police or "the police service":

1. One type of officer joined to help the public and to try to prevent crime as much as possible; they are generally helpful and approachable.
2. Another type of officer thinks he (or she) joined the "police service", which they perceive to be there to control the public and generally to act rather like an army of occupation; rather than being helpful and approachable, they are usually truculent, officious and have a grossly inflated opinion of their own abilities and/or their lawful powers.

What the latter type of officer seems unable to understand is that their attitude rather deters the public from volunteering information that may help to prevent crime or to catch miscreants. Worse, unless the overall public perception of the police does not improve, the public will be less likely to protest when the current police privatisation pilot with G4S is extended nationwide.

Re: Marston bailiff clamped my car!!

All members of Bailiff Working Group and Celestine PM'd and asked to look in on Posts 103 and 104.

Looking at what the Muppet from Marstons has done, I have identified the following offences -

Fraud by False Misrepresentation
Making A False Report to Police
Perverting the Course of Justice (links to above offence)

The Suffolk Police plods have probably committed the following offences -

Aiding and Abetting Fraud by False Misrepresentation
Being An Accessory to Fraud by False Misrepresentation

and the following civil torts -

Unlawful Seizure of Property
Unlawful Deprivation of Property (Protocol 1 of Article 1, Human Rights Act)
Unlawful Detention of Property
Wrongful Arrest
Unlawful Detention
False Imprisonment

I'm a little wary about levelling Blackmail at either the muppet or the plods from Suffolk Police. Unless I'm missing something, do we have an unwarranted demand and use of threats as a means of enforcing the demand? If we do, the Blackmail offence has legs.

As to what Suffolk Police should do to redress this sorry state of affairs, the best thing they could do is seize Kim's car from the bailiff or whatever mug now has possession of it, then nick the bailiff. However, I would not be surprised if the bailiff was given a good hard slap for putting the plods in such a situation in the first place before he arrives at custody.

Did you at least get her badge number?

Hope Kim did, as the WPC may well be as guilty as theft, as one of the TWOCERS they chase.
