Vehicles and Assets Required for Your Business

NOTE: This letter can be adapted to suit your own circumstances and could be used to advise the company, in advance, that a motor vehicle is necessary both for your use personally, and is required for your business/employment. If you are self employed, it would be advisable to provide proof of self employment by enclosing maybe a business card or letter of confirmation from an accountant. This letter could also be adapted to refer to other assets necessary for your use personally in your employment/business or vocation.

To: The Bailiff Company

Date:


Dear Sirs,

Re: Account reference.

I refer to your letter/visit dated (enter date) informing me that your company have been instructed by (enter local authority) to enforce a warrant/liability order etc against me, in respect of (a parking charge notice/council tax etc).

In your letter you state that you will be visiting/returning to my home to (seize/auction etc my goods.) unless full payment of (enter amount) is made by return.

I am aware that statutory regulations provide that certain items are exempt from seizure, and that these include:

"Such tools, books, vehicles and other items of equipment as are necessary for use personally in employment, business or vocation”.

Could you please note that I am employed as (see note) and that my vehicle is for my own use personally in my employment/business. As evidence of this, I am providing photocopies of (enter details).

I can confirm that I am willing to pay this liability at a rate of (enter amount).

For the reason stated above, if your company attempts to seize the above vehicle and/or charge me additional fees to do so, I will consider making an official complaint about your bailiff’s conduct to both the County Court and the Local Authority.

Could you please confirm safe receipt of this letter. >(ensure that you keep a copy) </SPAN

Yours Faithfully.
