Bailiff informs me police can stop and seize my car??

[Sallycinaman]

Hello

I was visited by a bailiff ( marstons) today who requested payment of a pcn I had acquired some time ago,

the amount I asked to pay was £303,

 

I recall contact from a debt company regarding this some time ago,

but because of a poor filing system AND trying constantly find work ( I'm self employed), I had forgotten to deal with it.

 

I asked if I could sort out an arrangement, which was met with an, "absolutely not, it must be paid in full or your car will be seized",

upon hearing this I jumped in my car and drove it to my friends house where it was safe.

 

Upon my return, I was informed that I had driven away a seized car and that, not only was I breaking the law,

but that the police would now be informed and I could be stopped, by the police and the car would be impounded,

I was also told, vosa AND his fellow agents could stop my car and seize it!!

 

My question is, is the above true?

 

He claims my car is now on a "list", which means I could be pulled and will only be removed from said list when full payment is made!!

 

I would like to add, that although I think I owe the parking ticket, but I don't at any time recall receiving final demands from the council or the bailiff!!

 

Thanks for your help.

You'll need to contact the council and come to some arrangement with them to pay this.
