    They should list things accurately, so imho the levy on that item would fail, as it is patently wrong. blue is not black even if the bailiff cries he is colour blind with monochromatic vision, and it all looks like shades of grey to him.

      It would be classed as a minor technicality.

        A bit like levying distress on next-door's motor car?

        If one were to buy a blue cloth sofa and remove the black leather sofa to another address, would the oaf be required to take the substitute?

        Once that's answered, there is something else to consider - whether the sofa should have been seized at all.

          Due to the recession, baliffs levied on a bathroom showroom.

          Suite A: (manufacturer & model) bath, basin & pedestal, loo & cistern.
          Suite B: ......................etc.

          When they turned up to claim their ill-gotten gains, all the taps, waste outlets, bathroom furniture, etc were 'missing'.

          Ever see a bailiff turn purple with rage?

            If they levied anything at my house when they returned there would be nothing there

                Including the loo seats?

                Were they left with nothing to go on?

                  Now there would be fun, two bailiffs from different companies arguing over who leved first...

                    Yes. Just after he's bitten the end off his purple marker pen. :grin:

                      No. But they did look rather flushed. The bailiffs couldn't positively-identify the toilet seats as they were bog-standard.

                        Lol!

                        Ok, not an Ideal scenario, but unfortunately bailiffs are part of our Heritage.

                          And, like Harpic, it sent them clean round the bend?

                              Well perhaps the government should do what Lord Denning had wished, and flush the bailiffs down the toilet into history!
