1) where has the £300 odd extra come from, is this legal? how can we check or are there any templates to use?

 

2) can they actually remove in their absences? surely that would be breaking and entering??

 

1. Its what bailiffs call reasonable costs. the law doesnt obligate you to pay them if a bailiffs cannot show its reasonable. If no goods have been transported in a van then a bailiff cannot charge you anything. Otherwise the statutority bailifffs fee is £24.50.

 

2. No, the law doesnt provide for bailiffs to commit breaking & entering. You must never let them in your home.

I googled the expression -Certificated bailiff,uncertificated bailiff,bailiff fees,bailiff charges,illegal distress,Subject Access Request,Detailed Assessment,irregular distress,How to complain about a bailiff

 

it points to a site called BAO, if that is yours then ditch the credit card forms and 0906 premium rate stuff and register as a charity. Its no longer a commercial site and would comply with forum rules as they stand as of todays date.

 

edit: just had a read.thru that website. You might want to have a lawyer check the facts, it has a number of technical inaccuracies and out of date information. Some of them is on a downloads page, and appears to charge a fee by way of premium rate line to access that information.

Fiction, a levy on goods is by way of a walking possessions agreement. If you havnt agreed to your goods being levied, or the bailiff did not give you reasonable opprtunity to pay before stuffing it trhrough your door then the levy fee can be disregarded.

Yes. the bailiff is trying to swindle you with his fees pretending he has a valid levy. Thats why he just stuck it in your door, bailiffs call this hit & run. Its a [problem].

 

A bailiff who dishonestly charges for work that has not been done will be committing an arrestable offence under the Fraud Act 2006. Section 2 of the Act specifically describes a person dishonestly makes a false representation and intends, by making the representation, to make a gain for himself or another, or cause a loss to another, or expose another to a risk of loss.
