can you add this to the relavant parts of the above letter please
Dear [Recipient's name],
This correspondence pertains to the seizure of goods under the Taking Control of Goods Regulations *. It appears the enforcement agents may have exceeded their jurisdiction in your case. As emphasised in 'Roberts v The Bank of Scotland Plc (*)', harassment by creditors can infringe privacy rights.
The regulations define 'goods' as personal and commercial items, but certain exemptions apply. Essential goods for domestic needs and items necessary for personal use in employment, business, or education are protected from seizure. If the seized items are commercial in nature, this could constitute a violation of the law.
Additionally, your vehicle, unless used commercially, should generally be protected under these regulations. Enforcement agents must provide clear information about the debt and enforcement process, as ruled in 'Andrews & Anor v City of London Corp (*)'.
The law requires a valid Liability Order for such seizures. Non-essential items may be seized, unless necessary for your personal use. The 'HCEOA v Burlington Credit Limited (*)' case affirmed that enforcement agents' fees must be reasonable and proportionate.
Yours sincerely, [Your first Name].
