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.
i am in need of desperate help as i have got home tonight to find a notice of seizure
nearly two years ago my i parked up my car on a street (my partner was with me at the time) behind another car, put my handbrake on and turned off the engine - there was probably about five feet between the cars - the car in front then started its engine, the reverse light came on and it started to reverse, my partner said " he isnt going to stop" and no sooner had he said that, the car reversed into the front of ours.
the driver got out, instantly inspected his car (there was minor damage) and turned to me and said " did you not see me parked there!" - i replied to him that we were already parked up before he started his engine and he wouldnt have any of it, despite the fact i had a witness to what he had done. we exchanged names, numbers and addresses.
he then rang me later on still insisting that i had run into him and he was contacting his insurance, my dilema at the time is that my insurance had lapsed as my partner was out of work and we living a hand to mouth existence. I did not tell the other driver this at any one time.
a few months later i received a visitor from his insurance company to clarify details etc and he saw the front end damage on my car and asked why i had not responded to any correspondence they had sent, i replied that as i was not at fault and he had lied to his insurance company about his claim i was having nothing to do with it as i wasnt at fault.
i fully admit to burying my head in the sand about all of this and should have come clean at the time but the thought of going to court and admitting that i wasnt insured was petrifying.
i realise now that i am going to have to seek legal advice and come clean but how do i stop them from taking goods from my property because the other driver in question has made a false claim on his insurance and lied through his back teeth to them?
i havnt told my partner about any of this as at the time he was gong through an absolute nightmare and i dint want to pile any more pressure on him.

Is this seizure of the vehicle for it being uninsured or bailiffs collecting for fines, or a CCJ?

am certain i havnt had a letter saying this was going to court so not sure if its a ccj - the letter states it is for judgement debt etc, so i take it from this that it has gone to court, but i have no recollection of ever receiving a letter telling me this?
It looks like the "other party" has obtained a default judgment against you, were you aware of any court letters at all?
The bailiff: A 12th Century solution looking for a 21st Century problem to solve. I despise their duplicitous cheating ways Something hilarious: A bailiff on a sink estate with his van on bricks, as someone pinched the wheels whilst he was at a vulnerable debtors door.
the notice of seizure is from the sherrifs office in croydon
In that case not only do you have a CCJ against you but it has now been transferred to the High Court for enforcement and initially will have been for more than £600, the person leaving the notice will have been a High Court enforcement officer. Do you have a sheet of paper with lots of writing on it?

hi
i have three sheets of paper with lots of writing on them, i think there should have been more as it jumps points, but unfortunately my flamin dog went on a bender before i got home and i came home to find he had destroyed a pack of loo roll i had stupidly left in the hall but there was no signs of any other pieces of paper only these so i can only presume he has eaten them along with a good quantity of loo roll! of all the days he had to have a hissy fit today takes the biscuit!
On one of these sheets it may say words similar to:
High Court Form No 55 - Notice of seizure
High Court Claim No: xxxxxxxxx county court Claim No: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Sent from ABCD County Court by Cerificate dated: 31/02/2199
Claimant: XYZ

That is the important one. Any chance of resurrecting it? I believe the Brigadier has made a suggestion as to where to look for further info if you can't.
