Firstly you are going to have to submit an application to Suspend the Warrant the Bailiff has. You will need Form N245 and the cost is approx £50 but if on a low wage or certain benefits you may be able to claim full or partial exemption - you need Form EX160 for this.

To have got this far there will be a CCJ recorded against you. You need to check you has done it, how much it is for and when it was done. To find out either check your credit file or for a small fee look at https://www.trustonline.org.uk/

Once you know more then more advice can be offered.
