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.
About six months ago I received a letter through the post stating that I have a parking fine outstanding.
I was park on the embankment in London after 10.30pm but whilst there I was never issued a ticket, so you can imagine how surprised I was to receive this demand through the post.
Anyway due to my lazy self I did not do anything about it and now they have pasted on the debt to the bailiffs which I am now incurring a charge.
The bailiff came around today unannounced and left a letter demanding payment before 7.30pm . (I don't return from work tell after 8)!
I will call and pay them tomorrow, but what is most worrying to me is, my elderly mother is here by herself and if she opens the door to them, which she will, can the legally come in and take what they like with out me being there?
It worries me that they will come here and threaten my mother to part with anything in the house.
And my mother would not know if they have any right to or not.
Can someone please let me know if stuff can still be removed even if im not present?
Are you sure they are bailiff but not debt collectors? As i understand bailiff will come only after a court proceeding and dbet collectors often pretend as bailiffs.

That's not true for parking PCNs. bailiffs will pursue unpaid PCNs.
Anyway, this thread seems a bit pointless. It's three and a half years old - why is it being resurrected?
