Have checked out lease You are correct they do have the right to get a Bailif even if 1 day late. The issue is the Removal expenses distress for rent (amendment) rules 2003. form

Need to check lease due date out will get back to you

Thanks Greenpimpernel. if your correct and it isnt legite how should i go about getting a refund.

hello scott thankyou for your help. ok it is a commercial tenancy on a 3 month advanced rental it is a restaurant so it was easy for them to just walk in . we were a tiny bit late paying the rent but a cheque for 1 month not three in post we are struggling in this climate and had been requesting help from the landlord ( can we pay 1 month at a time ) for well over 12 months but they would not spit on you if you were on fire.nothing given they just appeared on this day in a van two of them . i did some research from county court records and discovered that they are certificated by the court I think they are a married couple as both have same surnames . They did not have a ccj. anyway i believe a ccj does not cover debts over £5000. The 1 months rent was £5924. We paid him this and he added £147.94 for costs on the NOTICE OF SEIZURE AND INVENTORY form. Now then he also gave us another form with costs on REMOVAL EXPENSES. £275. for 1 x van. Fuel and Insurance. and £300 for1 x bailiff time 3hours 25 mins The SEIZURE OF GOODS AND INVENTORY. lists a lot of our goods he signed it but we didnt but he still knows what we possess. I just feel like weve been fleeced hope this is clear.

Please can anyone help. A bailiffs unexpected visit (no warrant) ended up costing me £147 94 costs for notice of seizure of goods and inventory. and they have also charged me £675.63 for removal expenses. This is for £275.00 for van fuel and insurance. plus £300.00 for 3hours 25 minutes bailiffs fee and 17.5% vat =£100.63 Is this legally correct because i paid them in full on the day for the rent outstanding. The point that bugs me is the never removed anything because i paid up fully.Also they made a list of goods to seize signed and dated. Do they still have a right to possession of this list If i ever fell behind with my rent again could they just come in and take my goods advice needed
