Bailiffs have seized my vehicle

[rosa62]

Bailiffs clamped and seized my vehicle with no notification as to who or where they had taken it. I reported it stolen and after several phone calls discovered it had been taken by and independant bailiff working alongside Marsden. The bailiff is threatening to sell the vehicle at auction and has told me that the car is incurring daily charges by the pound. My concern is the vehicle is still under finance, which i told the bailiff who said experian is saying the car has cleared finance. What can i do to?

I cant offer much advice but I would say have the history of the parking fine and actions that followed to hand there are some on here who will try and sort this with you.

Re: Bailiffs have seized my vehicle

The bailiff will not allow me to retrieve confidential information from my work from the car or allow me to make payment arrangements. The finance company is not willing to forward notification to Marsden confirming that the vehicle is still under finance and i will still be liable to make payments if the car is auctioned, although they say if proper checks are made on the car they will not beable to auction it. I am at a lost not sure what to do

Is it HP or bank loan style finance?

Re: Bailiffs have seized my vehicle

If the finance company allow the car to be auctioned, knowing it to be subject to a finance agreement, that may put them in breach of contract. I would advise you to email the CEO of Marstons, Gareth Hughes as regards the conduct of one of his company's bailiffs.

Answer the question by bizzybob.

If the car was purchased by means of a loan (that's what 'on finance' usually means), then it's your property and your problem. The fact that you owe money to the lender is irrelevant.

If it was on HP, then it's not your property, and therefore not your problem. In that case, all you do is report it stolen to the police and to the HP company.

Yes exactly so enquirer, as this will decide the direction of the advice given.
