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.
Thought I'd post a reasonably well outcome of a DVLA story.
Mum just got back from NZ, been there for 6 months so car SORNed and in a private garage, on return she paid £700 in repairs, insurance, MOT and importantly TAX to be able to drive the car, then promptly nipped down the car wash. On return she parked outside my grandparents' house where she made them dinner, 20 minutes later came back out to find her car clamped.
To say she was livid is an understatement. After spending 6 months working in a lovely, community, rural environment where she was appreciated to come back to the money making DVLA/Britain pretty much did it for her I think. DVLA received a very angry phone call, but they did send the van back to unclamp her.
This is particularly ridiculous when you consider my housemate is working on their behalf on their campaign to get more motorists to apply for tax online/by phone by telling them it is ok to drive without the tax disc so long as you have paid.
DVLA Clamped My Mum! Happy Ending.
