Can bailiff remove my car from a neighbour's numbered car space?


No

Bailiffs may only take control of goods where the debtor usually lives or carries on a trade or business,[1] or a highway,[2][3] anywhere in England and Wales.[4]

If a bailiff wants to take control of a vehicle on neighbours number car space, then he must apply to the court for that authority separately,[5]

If bailiffs remove a debtors vehicle from neighbours numbered car space without having that authority, the debtor may apply to the court and ask them to intervene, and apply for damages,[6] together with costs.[7][8][9]
