    To be fair the original question was can my car be taken away because of a bayliff so the answer to that is no  that's the answer to the question the poster asked  

    The rest the outer has to get advice away from the forum before they get into more debt 
    In fairness though, that means all the “advice” you tried to provide Lisa was still not relevant or was incorrect. 

    Mike already said in his first reply the bailiff could not instruct motibility  to do anything, so that was answered very early on. 

    The point people are trying to make is regardless of your personal debt experience, the fact your partner or son is a bailiff, the fact you hold a law degree, etc has no bearing. 

    The debt aspect needs professional debt advice which you can’t provide.

    Perhaps of interest is that a bailiff needs to prove to a county court judge that you’re a ‘fit and proper person', with no criminal or debt record; the latter of which Lisa acknowledges she has had. Please see: https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/job-profiles/bailiff  
    I hope this thread hasn't been confusing to the OP as Mike has given his advice, which Mark endorses, not to mention the Scope team taking this onboard. On looking through this thread, I can only hope the OP looks at the advice given rather than Lisa's comments (& her post on his wall).

    The poster has replied and has recived advice from the national debt help line who has given him advice which you have all seemed to have missed  the poster has been told as everyone else said the bayliff can't tell motability to take the car but they  have said that motability could take the car because its against the rules and regulations so the poster is trying to come to an aragment with the bayliff bit isn't haveing much luck  so have advised the poster to ask citizen advice for help

    Hmmm @lisathomas50 - I have no interest in you whatsoever, sorry. I certainly don't 'trawl' any social media either, as I don't use it, so no idea where you're coming from.... unless you can prove otherwise. I have to say I find your comments against the community's house rules in 'targeting' me. Certainly we haven't forgotten the OP; why would you think otherwise?

    they have haveing a criminal record does not stop you being a bayliff  or an enforcer it depends on the crime and how long ago it was committed  and being in debt doesn't stop you either some bayliffs have experienced debt thats why they do the job 
    That’s false as well, clearly explained in the link provided above. 

    Direct Application

    Your employer will give you the training you need to get a Bailiff General Certificate. You'll need this before you can carry out any bailiff duties by yourself. 

    You'll need to:

    • prove to a county court judge that you’re a ‘fit and proper person', with no criminal or debt record 
    • have knowledge of bailiff law
    • put a £10,000 bond in place with the court - you can take out an insurance policy to cover this
    • provide 2 references
