ok i'll try to tell you as much as i can but obviously as i am under investigation i have to be careful because i'm unsure what i can and can't say in public i)there is 1 pcn subject to a judgement by n'hmpton county court but there are 2 more in the pipeline. ii) the baliffs tried to seize my vehicle as i was getting into it outside my home address. They failed to identify themselves to me and up to this moment have failed to do so. iii) i have had no Form 7 given to me or has it even been mentioned to me, the police (to my knowledge) or my solicitor. iv) i have not seen a copy of the warrant of execution v) during their attempt to seize the vehicle an alleged assault took place and an alleged incident of dangerous driving for which i have been arrested and am currently on police bail for (i deny alleged charges against me) vi) the car was not clamped vii) the company is bristow and sutor viii) the car is not on finance and is worth around £4000. it's all a bit of a mess really

ok mate looks like a trip down the local nick for me then. If they cannot give me the right answers today do i get my car back immediately?

thanks phaitun some good points there but i did exactly what you said on friday and that is when they told me they had seized the car under PACE so i don't have much grounds for complaint there. Like I say my main concern is that they seemed to think it will be lawful for them to give my property to someone else. but initially they told me and my solicitor they were seizing under civil law so have they committed any proceedral error that will enable me to get my car back sooner ?

ok so i complain to the csi - about what and in what terms (sorry to sound so thick but i really am flying blind here)

didn't sound that serious but ok not really important. What would the nature of the complaint to the C.S. be? the car is being kept in a compound used by the police for storage there was no notice - they first refused to release the car to me because they said (in front of my solicitor) it was the property of n'hampton c.c. When I pointed out to them that it was not their duty and probably illegal for them to act on behalf of a civil court or baliffs they then quickly changed tack and said it had in fact been seized under PACE. don't really want to answer the next question on a public forum. I have issue that the pcn was issued to me on a public highway and as a member of the public i have been fined for parking on my own property. There was correspondence from the council but i mistakenly chose to ignore it. I have no idea if the baliffs were certificated.

yeah very funny thanks coniff but i'm in some serious doo doo here so i need some serious help

thanks plodderton no i haven't been issued anything to say they are allowed to take my car. They have left me their usual threat notice which of course says i owe them lots of cash. thanks renegadeimp so what if the rozzers do give my car to the baliffs?

it's a bit of a long story but the basic facts of my case are: i) I have outstanding unpaid parking tickets issued by my local council ii) at least one of those tickets has gone to northampton county court who have issued a seizure warrant for the car. iii) baliffs came to seize the vehicle but failed to identify themselves to me as such. iv) a situation arose thereafter that has resulted in the police seizing my car under PACE (basically the car is now part of a criminal investigation) v) the police have told me that they intend to release the car into the posession of the baliffs when they have finished with it as they view it as the property of n'hampton county court and their appointed agents (the baliffs) I need some serious help here guys. What if anything can i do?
