Nasty council bailiffs taking your car?

Nasty council bailiffs taking your car?

if they take your car, without your car key how do they auction it off? and without the mot documents etc.

if you let the b******s take it and cant afford to get it back what do you do to cancel your insurance> will your company let you? what do you say?

also what about DVLA do you write to them to say the car has been sold or you dont have the car anymore?

help please :0(

I ain't sure about the first two, but I would definitely inform the DVLA you are no longer the registered keeper.

Lots of cars at the auction are repossessed and have no paperwork but usually have the key.They wait until you go to the car to drive it then take it from you.If you want to keep it park it at a friends give them the keys and all paperwork so when they look around your house they don't find anything relating to the car.Then don't drive it until all this is cleared up.If they do take it you just ring to cancel insurance and ring dvla and say you no longer have the car.

A lot of cars sold at auction are repossessions, quite often without paperwork and sometimes without keys. They're bought by dealers who know this and are prepared to take the risk of not hearing it run, bear the cost of changing the locks and obtain fresh documents.

If your car is repossessed and gone for good, of course you should tell your insurers. They'll cancel the insurance, whether you get anything back is another matter. And you must tell DVLA that you are no longer the keeper for your own sake.

Sign it over to a trusted friend or family memeber (not at the same address) so that he/she is the legal owner and registered keeper. You can then continue to drive it but they can't touch it.

Technically you should then inform your insurance co that you are not the registered keeper, if you really wanted to.

they oly take it if you didnt pay them for whatever you did and they try to make you pay the money

I would phone the Police & report it as stolen. That'll get em back!
