On benefits and owe council tax

Re: On benefits and owe council tax

Just asking. If the car on the drive is owned by someone other than the person named in the paperwork surely it can not be seized.

Depends, if a spouse or civil partner and they are resident at the address, well as council tax is a joint liability, it is possible it could. If a visitor, or non resident relative a definite no.

Who owns it? If Brain-Dead & Stupid attempt to seize and remove a vehicle belonging to a third party, they are, potentially, looking at civil litigation and, possibly, criminal prosecution. The creditor will be looking at civil litigation, if a local authority.
