Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I have just taken begun to rent a house but am overlapping it with previous property so I am not resident yet at new address. At new address I find a letter from Equita saying they might come back 24hrs later. It was a final demand to a previous tenant and claims that they could remove goods even if no-one is in.
a) I contacted bailiffs mobile but no reply
b) On Monday I will contact council, letting agent and bailiffs again
But suppose a bailiff has previously been in to get walking possession could they gain entry - force or otherwise. Of course they would be taking the wrong person's things and I could wreak all sorts of retribution on them but I am worried about the mess they would make working out that everything that is boxed is not for them.
They dont work sundays for civil debts, but they can for debts such as CSA income tax NI etc. Don't know about court fines bit never come across it.
Tell the bailiff you are the new tenant and have some ID handy, the bailiff will have to leave and return the debt to the creditor nulla-bona. Its up to the creditor to trace them. Don't go doing it for them if you know where they've moved to.
Equita - do they work Sunday
mobile but no reply
