Re: can they take it
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.Originally posted by notveryhappy View Post -

It would be classed as a minor technicality.Comment

Re: can they take it
A bit like levying distress on next-door's motor car?Originally posted by ploddertom View Post
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.Comment

Re: can they take it
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?

No. But they did look rather flushed. The bailiffs couldn't positively-identify the toilet seats as they were bog-standard.Originally posted by CleverClogs View Post

Ok, not an Ideal scenario, but unfortunately bailiffs are part of our Heritage.
I've seen Crapp(i)er ideas, but in loo of a better suggestion, I guess it yanked their chain!

Re: can they take it
Well perhaps the government should do what Lord Denning had wished, and flush the bailiffs down the toilet into history!
