| I make this complaint because on [DATE] the bailiff executed an invalid levy by taking a motor vehicle [MAKE AND MODEL] registration [ABC 123] belonging to me as collateral for somebody elses debt. The motor vehicle is my own property and the bailiff has taken it as a colateral for somebody elses debt I understand to be a traffic offence or similar debt which may have been committed by a previous registered keeper or owner. I also understand the bailiff is committing an offence under Section 12 of the Theft Act 1967 and I reported the vehicle stolen to the police who said [they could not get involved/it's a civil matter]. I attach a copy a copy of the V5 to confirm I am the lawful owner of the vehicle. [The vehicle is a necessary tool for my day to day business function and I understand these types of goods are exempt from being used as colateral by a bailiff in any event.] I tried to seek an amicable resolve with the bailiff who ignored my request. I ask for my vehicle to be immediately returned to me at no cost to myself and undamaged and ask that I am compensated for my financial losses in relation to this levy and in aquiring a replacement a rental vehicle whilst my vehicle was in the bailiff's possession. |
Remember to attach a copy of your V5 and any documention given to you by the bailiff. Mark the outside of the evelope VERY URGENT.
