Can a bailiff take goods or vehicles belonging to my limited company for a director's personal debt?


No

A limited company is a completely separate legal entity created under a statute.[1]

A company is not liable for the debts owed by a director or its employees, and bailiffs may not take control of the company’s goods to pay a debt owed by a director or an employee.[2]

If bailiffs take control of the company's goods, any director of the company may apply for a third party claim,[3][4] and the company may also recover damages,[5] and costs.[6][7][8]
