Re: Bailiffs Walking Possession order unsigned not received
Hi again and thanks for posting again too.
The first visit was 4th February - £24.50, second visit at 6.46am (no way would we have been out at that time - it was half term as well!!! Our bedroom is directly by the front of the house too! I get ready for work at the time and leave around 7.30 again in our bedroom at the front of the house.
Do they have to do two visits first? Can they whack a levy on second visit which suddenly became £71 ??? I mean what did the guy do the make it £71!!!
And then a van to pick up a car?? for £200 - it all just sounds a bit fishy - I wrote a letter to the bailiffs today requesting a full breakdown and that we will not be allowing them entry to remove goods as stated in their letter etc. This was copied to the council and I advised the council the letter was posted as we had no response to our email earlier this week. Miraculously the letter was forwarded to the MD at Chandlers who is now looking into it.
I feel more positive but still worried and not sleeping well - but await the bailiffs response in writing regarding their fees so we can hang them good and proper!
Can someone explain what a Distress Warrant is - the last letter from the bailiff says liability order / distress warrant?

Thanks - the sites say a reasonable time but suppose its a bit wooly?
found this:
Can a bailiff call at night or on a weekend?
Only bailiffs collecting rent are obliged to call between sunrise and sunset, all other bailiffs can call at any time of day or night. However most bailiffs should call at a 'reasonable' time, either during normal office hours or between 8.00 a.m. or 8 p.m.
so challenging this is an option but then as reasonable can be miscontrued!? but suppose its an option?
