Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
he was driving up the road was using his mobile phone he got fined the police impounded his van for no insurance he was fully comp oh his own vehicle he brought this van for the little jobs so used his insurance to drive it wherever so technically he is and was insured he has shown the local police his docs yet they still wont release it think my brother said it would cost him 500 quid approx in storage fees yet my brother contested it from day 1 he has written to police etc so what would happen to it if police crushed it etc and so on the van he paid 1800 quid
If he has fully comp on his own vehicle, he may well have a provision that alllows him to drive other cars (normally called DOC) that are not owned or under HP to him.
Therefore, from what you have posted, he was not insured to drive the van. They are entitled to seize it and crush it. If he wants it back, he will need to get proper insurance for it (and if he wants to use it for business, this needs to include business use cover)
He is also liable for the recovery and storage fees.
