Stopping Bailiffs: Traffic Debt Enforcement

If you get bailiffs about an unexplained traffic debt, then you may have recently moved or bought a car, and the bailiff traced the new keeper address then ambushed you without giving notice.

You may be a victim of drive-by enforcement.




Stop or Suspend the Enforcement


Your name is on the warrant, appeal the traffic debt.

Your name is not on the warrant and bailiffs clamped or towed your car, make a third party claim to controlled goods.

Your car is exempt goods, make a claim to exempt goods.

Bailiffs have clamped or towed your car which is on hire-purchase or leased, apply for an injunction.

Bailiffs have charged you more than £310 in enforcement fees, apply for a detailed assessment.

The enforcement is not compliant with enforcement regulations, do a Pay & Reclaim.


When you have regained control of your car, protect it from bailiff action.
