If I have a car on my drive that's not owned or taxed in my name, can bailiffs take it?

Bailiffs can only take control of goods that belong to the debtor.^[1]

If bailiffs take the car from your drive that is at an address not specified on the warrant of writ of control, then he must apply for that authority separately.^[2]

If bailiffs take control of a car not belonging to the debtor, then the owner can make a third party claim to the car,^[3] together with a claim for damages,^[4] statutory interest,^[5] and costs.^[6]
