    Thanks for the offer, but I think I will write about whatever I like in whatever way I like until someone in some authority tells me otherwise

      From what I can gather, Andy, it is nothing more than putting the National Standards on the Statute Book. They would have done better by placing a duty on bailiffs to have with them a copy of the actual court warrant on them when attending, not the Mickey Mouse efforts some bailiff companies try to use to hoodwink debtors and police officers into thinking they are acting lawfully and repealing the provision that they must tell the debtor where a warrant can be inspected. Giving police officers the power to seize bailiff certificates, if only to prevent a bailiff from continuing to act unlawfully or illegally,together with a provision that prevents any levies that bailiff has from being enforced until the legality of those levies have been established either way would probably hamper the collection of unpaid court fines, CT and NNDR arrears, but if it means that debtors are properly protected from unscrupulous, corrupt, dishonest and violent bailiffs and creditors, including local authorities which we fund through the tax system, are protected from the risk of litigation - Remember, it is OUR money that is used to settle claims arising from the misconduct of bailiffs acting for local authorities - then it just might bring about the necessary change to bring the civil enforcement industry to heel. Closing down the civil enforcement industry altogether should be the ultimate goal.
      I hope it is a little more than that, the consultation promised a radical restructuring of fees and charges, as well as implementing various sections of the shelved TCE act.

      I suppose the bailiff industry will always attract the bully boy element, the only way to remedy this is to scrap it. Unfortunately there is too much vested interest from all areas, still we live in hope.

              Not really.

              Do not flatter yourself.

              I've been online for long enough to spot a troll when I see one.

                I have heard that a number of the rogue element are former police officers who have been kicked out of the police force for violent behaviour, corruption or criminal conduct and who should never have been allowed into the police force in the first place. I agree with you that the only way to deal with the problem of rogue bailiffs is to close down the civil enforcement industry altogether. Yes, there are vested interests who want to see the civil enforcement industry survive, but it will be the public who force the politicians into a corner where they will have no choice but to comply with the wishes of the public. What politicians all-too-often forget is that they are servants of the public, not its masters. Push the public too much, too often and it will come back and smack the politicians in the face hard.

                  Any way I think Labman made a valid point, and it would be a shame if it interfered with some of the excellent work done on here, I am sure it was not his intention and it certainly is not mine, so I will withdraw

                    If it contains a swear word, agreed, but the way some bailiffs behave, they deserve to be described according to their behaviour.

                      The information conveyed by calling the bailiffs "naughty words" is that one dislikes their attitude and antics. It's a matter of shewing solidarity with the bailiffs' victims rather than with the bailiffs themselves.

                      It will do us - or this site - little good to pretend that bad bailiffs had merely made a mistake or two, or that they are honest and hard-working men and women who are "only doing a job" and that they must command our respect and obedience.
                      The bailiff in the case in Plymouth where the wrong house was called at, as in the debtor had never even lived there, who assaulted her and caused life changing injuries should be in jail along with the court staff in HMCS who messed up so spectacularly. there is no way i would describe that bailiff as anything other than a scrote, criminal and a bully. BB is the swine still a bailiff i wonder?

                                I think one definition is someone who disrupts the purpose of a thread, which is somewhat confusing to me as I seem to be one off the few actually supporting the contentions made by the originator of this thread.

                                Still all debate is good, or so I have always been led to believe.
