I have a CCJ and warrant against a car dealership, which is a limited company. The bailiff has been a bit negative at recovering this debt. When I mentioned removing goods the reply was he probably doesn't own them, they are likely to be on finance, we can't take goods off a limited company, tow trucks would cost, you'd have to pay auction fees, you'd need to pay an indemnity.

First, to clarify, can the bailiff remove goods from a limited company?
If goods were removed, e.g., cars with tow trucks, would I need to pay for this upfront or should the cost be added to the dept and recovered from the sale of the goods?

Before I kick up a fuss with the bailiff I need to know what they should be doing on my behalf.

Thats what the TV shows have you believe, but I have found occasions they don't bother collecting and pay the claimant a visit for £240 +fees.

Honestly, I'm beginning to trust no fecker. Even trading standards are fecking useless these days.

ETA - if your two threads are linked - the first thing they will seize will be the vehicle in your possession surely?
I'd have thought the court bailiff could have done that, but hasn't. She has now gone on holiday. Looks like I need to find £60 from somewhere.

I wanted to keep the two threads separate. Its is easy for them to get to a "use the sheriffs" point, but I wanted to review other options first, like how to get the bailiffs to do their job after I paid the court £70.
