My can privous owner has lots of unpaid tickets. can a bailiff take my car?
If you have a valid bill of sale (an invoice) and the vehicle is registered in your name then the Bailiff’s may threaten but in reality there is nothing they can do about it. However if they suspect the car has been transferred without money changing hands as a deliberate ruse to avoid paying the fines then they can seize the car. indications of this would be say if you were not the only driver, the insurance was in someone elses name. Bailiffs will often try to scare third parties into paying soemone elses bills. one becasue they get some cash, but if you pay soemthign towards the bailiffs demands you can end up beeing seen int he eyes of the law to have taken over that liability or taken over partial liability. Bailiffs claim lots of things such as they can seized goods to the value of the debt, however they can only seize goods which can be clearly identified as belonging to the debtor.
