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.
Hi everyone, this is my first post. Hope someone would be able to help.
My unlucky friend lent his car to his friend before going for holiday. After his return, he realised that his car was sold via the police impound car sale because: his friend was stopped by the police for some reasons (I dont know the details) and as he was uninsured, my friend's car was impounded. As my friend was not in England, he was unable to receive any letter. his friend did not tell him about it either. So the result is that my friend was unable to claim his car back. Now his car was sold in the police impound car sale. I wonder:
- Do the police have right to sell his car?
- What would the police do with the money that they "gain" after selling the car?
- Would my friend be able to get the money back from the police?
Your "friend" got exactly what they deserved. Those who drive uninsured vehicles ought to have the vehicle sold and proceeds given to victims of crime and fined a minimum of £1000.
Police should not have this right this is not fair.
Of course its fair, he was stopped without insurance so was not legally able to continue his journey, taking the vehicle away was the only way of ensuring it was not used. The owner or his friend had 2 weeks to sort out insurance which they failed to do.
