Assaulted by Bailliff

[wonkeydonkey]

OK...a bill of sale must be rubber stamped by a Court and I am going to stick my head above the parapet with a suggestion they have not conformed with the requirement, in which case they have NO agreement!!! but let me take the bullet if I have mis judged the situation and you actually do have a legally court stamped agreement.

I am sure that log book loans can not remove your vehicle without a court order.

I suspect this "man" is not a bailiff, just someone sent round to get the car.

Were the police on the scene when he removed the car?

 

That is what i thought, the police was on the scene when he took the car they said they checked his paperwork and he was allowed to carry on. when the police first came they said to me that they would try to buy me some time. so if i never said anything about my injury, they would have a chat to him to see if he could go away and let me call the company to get it sorted. but they came back to me after speaking to him and said that he had no leeway and had to take the car, so i said then i want to press charges for assault, the reply i got was, "we decide if it warrants an arrest". and apparently it dont. i still cant believe it today.

Make an official complaint to the police authority complaints commission/?

[josephbloggs]

When you take out a loan and give them the logbook, do they not take ownership of the vehicle until you pay off the debt? Then they let you keep the car on the understanding that they can come and get "their" car back should you not pay? I ask because thats how i interpret their agreement off the website. Would they not then need a court order to take the car as long as an employee/contractor of logbookloans comes to fetch it?

As a result they wouldnt have to employ a bailiff as there wouldnt be a court order and just a debt collector?

[wonkeydonkey]

This is a complicated redress and to save further confusion I will send you a PM with my thoughts on the direction this needs to go and qualify a few more personal points but please do keep the good caggers in the loop once the ball is rolling.

They don't need a court order, it's just a debt collector.

Done.

Im now going down the station to report it. thanks for the advice all.. I let you know what happens soon.

[HAWC]

Can you scan and post this receipt you have been given

[JustinWales]

Can you scan and post this receipt you have been given

 

I have its in post no 24

[JustinWales]

Ok just got back from a very swift visit at the station. I spoke to the lady on the desk she informed me she was a police officer.

I told her what happened and showed her the injuries on my back, and she went off to check the log.

 

when she returned she told me that the log had been closed as a civil matter, so what did i want to do, Have him warned or press charges for assault, Obviously i chose the latter, and she said they will send an officer round to take a statement and photo my injuries. she even said to me she does not know if it will go anywhere as the officers believed he had the all te paperwork in order to recover the vehicle. to which i then replied "so that gives him the right to cause injury while doing his job" ??? she looked as confused as i was. and we said our thank you's and i left.

missed a bit out

[JustinWales]

Ive also just put the pics on my pc so i thought i would share with you all the lengths these animals are going to, to get their commission, this is the worst of the two

 

 

 

[brassnecked]

Criminal **** no other word to describe them, and the stupid plod supported him, complaint to MP and IPCA

[ploddertom]

Now I'm not trying to stir things or to disbelieve what happened but were there any totally independent witnesses to what took place, I ask as this is otherwise going to boil down to your word against theirs. Who called the woodentops and did they see this happen?

[wonkeydonkey]

Yes I agree to a point and a few twitching curtains could be a help along the way...do get the injuries on record with either A & E or GP and by the looks of it they do need attention to prevent infection. Plod are in for a surprise when they find they have been dupped by a thug.... me thinks.

As far as i am aware only my partner but the police told me she could not be a witness. it happen inbetween my car and a neighbours van so its unlikely anyone else saw it.

After he let me go i said i was going to call the police and told my partner to get my phone, he then said he was going to call them. and did so.

[JustinWales]

Just a little update.

 

I just had a call from the police confiming an appointment for tomorrow morning at 9am where an officer will attend my address and take a statement and photograph my injuries.

[JustinWales]

Hi all, Ive found the website for the company in question D G Collection Services. And i have a contact number for them, Would it be wise to call them and see what they have to say?

[wonkeydonkey]

Thats a good start....just to reiterate....you do really need to get those injuries looked at by A & E or your GP and as we now have a long weekend I think A & E would be the better option they need to be seen with every scratch in place before they fade? Is there any chance you can put an ear to the ground to see what the gossip is about the assault, you might find that mrs X saw it and told mrs y who then told....................................
