BAILIFFS and DEBT

Bailiffs recover money that people owe to their clients. In most cases, a creditor has to get a court order before they can instruct bailiffs to try and recover the money you owe. Bailiffs do not generally have the right to force entry into your home. however, they can gain 'peaceful entry' if you let them in, or they enter through a closed but unlocked door or open window.

If you cannot repay the debt they may be able to take your belongings and sell them at auction to pay off your debt.

You will have to pay a fee to the bailiff. This will depend on the type of debt, and the type of court order authorizing the bailiffs to recover the debt.

The law on bailiffs is very complicated and the rules depend on the type of debt you owe and who it is owed to. If you are having problems paying a fine or other debt it is always important to try to negotiate and to get specialist advice. At most stages of the debt recovery process there are opportunities to sort the problem out before a court or bailiff gets involved.
