Stopping the enforcement. Pay and Reclaim

Pay the bailiff his demand to end the enforcement power^[1] or to recover your car^[2] then recover the money taken^[3] together with your damages,^[4][5][6][7] costs,^[8] or if you represent yourself, your litigant-in-person expenses.^[9]

When the enforcement power has ended, the bailiff cannot take a further enforcement stop against you.^[10]

If the bailiff has overcharged you with his fees, apply for a detailed assessment,^[11] or make a chargeback.^{[12][Note 1]}

Never sign a document offered to you by bailiffs, you could concede to a voluntary payment preventing you recovering the money on the grounds the bailiff applied undue pressure.^[13]

If they force you to sign a document at a vehicle compound for the return of your car, 'sign' it using the word declined instead of your signature.
