This is disgusting, the government will have innocent blood on their hands when an out of control bailiff kills someone.

Oh, there's a surprise. Not.

The government has NOT dropped the regulation of bailiffs. What is happening at present is that debates are ongoing in the House of Commons regarding the "thorny" subject of a regulatory /complaints body.

 

There is a lot going on "behind the scenes" and in fact, in just a short while there may well be a situation whereby bailiffs will find themselves out of work and the enforcement of Liability Orders and unpaid PCNS will be administered by IN HOUSE DEBT COLLECTION centres.

Well that will be good news for us though it might put you out of a job too?

In fact since posting my answer above I have just received an email which reads as follows:

 

MoJ begins bailiffs law meetings

 

Tuesday, 19th March 2013

 

The Ministry of Justice has confirmed to CCR-Public Sector, that meetings have started in London, between the various interested parties, to move forward implementation of the government's proposals for bailiff law and certification overhaul.

 

 

The working groups have started and include:

 

· Debtor Group

 

· Advice Sector

 

· Enforcement Industry Group

 

· Local Authority Group

 

· Interdepartmental Working Group

 

· The Enforcement Law Reform Group.

 

Each working group has a selection of representatives, drawn from a wide range of government departments, enforcement companies and the debt advice sector, including Citizens Advice.

 

Implementation of all changes, as the MoJ has previously said, will be in 2014.

 

An official spokeswoman told CCR-PS last Friday: "The working groups will be meeting over a number of weeks, at the MoJ in London, to look in fine detail at the government's intentions, which have been based largely on the more than 200 responses to last year's bailiff consultation. It is the government's intention to rein in 'aggressive bailiffs' and ensure vulnerable debtors are treated fairly."

 

MoJ minister responsible for bailiffs, Helen Grant MP, is heading the government team.
