Hi, He is actually allowed to Levy on a vehicle that is still subjest to a HP agreement, and will confirm with the Finance company the amount owed before lifting the vehicle. As long as the value of the vehicle far out ways the balance of the HP agreement, there is no reason why the Car can't be Levied, and ultimately removed. As far as his fees are concerned, it would seem that the questionable fee is the second £115.00 attendance fee. This is honest and accurate advice, and the knowledge coming from myself, an ex-bailiff of 4.5 years, who was a straight Bailiff. I know this is going to prompt me some unpleasent comments admitting to that, but the fact is true. In the 4.5 years of being a Bailiff I never over charged, never had a complaint against me, and only removed 3 people possessions in that time. That is the reason I had to stop doing it, if you don't over charge you can't make a living. I know a lot of people on here try and help, however unfortunately (and please, no one take this as a criticism) they don't actually know exactly what Bailiffs can and can't do and charge. I hope this is of some help to you. D. Edit: The reason they are only paying £135.00 of your £250.00 to the Council is because they are witholding their second £115.00 Van Fee (Which is unlawful)

That is not true, as I presume he has gained access into the property - as the impression is this guy has met with the Bailiff. This means that now he has gained peaceful entry he is able to re-attend at any time advised to this chap, and force entry if demands are not kept to - resulting in high costs and removal of goods. Take it from an ex-bailiff...

True. Good point. There underhand way of finding out what we dont want them to find out haha. Good luck to you anyway, and I hope you get it sorted out.

What Bailiff company was it?
