bailiff clamped my car – what to do next
If a bailiff has clamped your car or taken it without warning, you may still be able to stop enforcement, reclaim your vehicle, and recover any unlawful fees. This page explains your rights under UK law, when clamping is illegal, and the urgent steps you can take to protect your property.
Apply for an emergency injunction if any of the following circumstances apply:
The vehicle is on finance
The vehicle is exempt goods
You were unaware of owing any debt
The debt being enforced is not owed by you
You moved and you didn't update your V5 with the DVLA
You recently bought the vehicle, but the debt belongs to a previous keeper
The bailiff has refused to show you the Warrant of Control
The vehicle is parked on private land, but not at your home address
You have appealed the debt and are awaiting a response from the TEC
You are considered a vulnerable person
You already paid the debt
You were driving the vehicle when the bailiff took it
