I had £10 left to pay on a fine. I had no reminder. A bailiff has contacted me and advised she will be back tomorrow. With fees I now owe £310.
What items can a bailiff take ? Please advise.

Hello Tammy.

Can you afford to make an arrangement to pay over a period of time?

Unless the bailiff is representing the Magistrate Court he/she cannot seize the following:

¡Bedding, clothing, furniture, household equipment and provision necessary for basic needs for you and the family.
¡Tools, vehicles and goods and any other items within reason that is necessary for your use in connection with your employment, business or vocation.

If the bailiff is acting on behalf of the Magistrates' Court then he/she cannot seize the following goods:

¡Clothing, beds and tools of the trade.
¡Basic domestic needs of the family - normally to include fridge, cookers, freezers, but not necessarily to include jewelry, additional televisions, DVD / video recorders, stereos, microwaves and washing machines.
