Car Levy

[D_A_S]

Hello all,

 

A bailiff levied my car even though the liability order was only in my wife's name. I provided them with the necessary documentation that the car was mine (V5 and sales receipt), and asked them to remove the levy. They ever so kindly responded that "the law considers the car to be jointly owned" because I am married, any levy was valid. My wife has her own car and has no legal interest in mine.

 

From reading on here, I know that bailiff companied like to make various laws up as they go along! I was wondering if I could apply to the courts to get this levy removed or are the bailiff correct in stating this (i.e. will a court automatically allocate interest in the car equally)?

if your name is not on the liability order then they cannot levy on your car

I have been told this but am interested in finding out more about council tax enforcement / case law concerning third party goods between a husband and wife.
