Well i have contacted the number i was advised to this morning. They had not received anything from this bailiff to say he had changed company but advised me to ring the court that issued his Certification. The court then confirmed that they had been told he has moved company And there was me thinking i had him for a minute... Ah well, thanks for all the help anyway was much appreciated.

haha If im honest my mum is easily persuaded and pushed around by people like bailiffs, if it wasnt for me she would have let the guy in to take the lot It is this forum i have got 99% of the information and resources from. The bailiff is just trying the scare tactic, but mum is falling for it, i can see how worried she is. So im getting what i can together to show her where she stands and that this guy has no rights what so ever to come in unless invited or doors/windows are left open. I think im going to get her to make payments to the council directly via there phone service every week, as she asked them nicely to take the debt back but gave the usual "its in the bailiffs hands now" speech. I will ring that number and create a separate thread once i know a little more as i may need some advice on the situation as a whole. Thanks yet again MaInY

Christ Hallowitch wasnt expecting a reply at this time in the morning, but thank you very much ! I did see that number mentioned earlier on a few times, but wanted clarification before I went ahead and rang it. From what I can see on the 2 removal notices my mum has, he has not added any fee's which seems odd to me if he has been to the property twice in 3 days and on one of those days it was well out of normal working hours. I will give this number a ring first thing on monday morning. Once again thank you very much for that speedy reply !!

First of all, What an excellent site. Ive gone from not knowing where i stand to having an excellent understanding of my rights. I have a question regarding the website where i check a Bailiff and what company he is certified with. A bailiff has called to my mums house regarding outstanding Council Tax. We didn't let him in, and he posted a removal notice through the letterbox on the 19th Jan and also on 21st Jan. On this removal notice he has signed it with his last name only, Having searched the website I have found one match for this last name however, the website says he works for a different company than the one he has issued this removal notice for. His second name isnt what i would call a common name and the court who has issued his certification is roughly 40 miles away which suggests to me ive found the right guy as it is easily driving distance. Any information on how to nail this guy and make him worry his little backside off like he has been doing to my mum would be greatly appreciated. I wouldnt mind, mum phoned him and offered a payment plan but he wanted ALL or at least HALF of the nearly £400 outstanding from a single mum who is currently on benefits.. The cheek, i felt like opening the door and introducing him to my complaints department that i keep at the back of the door !!!!! Thanks in advance MaInY
