Baliff Visit intemidated my son

Do you know which bailiff company is involved? Not only are they in breach of MoJ National Standards for Enforcement Agents, they are in breach of OFT rules if they are OFT-licensed. Could you post up the name of the bailiff company, please?

Goodwill Gesture a very much abused form of settlement and, if the law is followed to the letter, they are only appropriate in cases where a company has genuinely done nothing legally wrong. In this case, what they allowed to happen was legally-wrong. Saying they acting within their guidelines is total bovine excrement and I agree 100% with Lookinforinfo that there is no legislation with which their guidelines comply. I also concur with Lookinforinfo that if this matter had been progressed through to conclusion, the fees would have had to be refunded in full and that the bailiff and management of the bailiff company would have been in serious trouble and may have found themselves facing criminal charges.

 

Whatever, this incident does need to be brought to the attention of HMCTS HQ and the police forces within whose areas the bailiff operates. There are potential child protection issues that cannot be ignored. Perhaps, contacting BBC TV's Watchdog programme or similar would draw the public's attention to this problem and embarrass the powers-that-be into acting in the public interest, not commercial interests.

Might be an idea to write to the District Judge at the bailiff's certificating court, enclosing the evidence, and ask if the DJ requires a completed Form 4. It has been known for a DJ to discharge a bailiff's certificate without a Form 4 or a hearing.
