How to deal with the Enforcement Agent.

Despite all his scary looking paperwork and threats he issues he actually has very few rights. He has no automatic right of entry to your home and it is a seriously BAD idea to let him in. Providing there is nothing of value outside then there will be no goods he can take control of. Unless he has already been in then he may not force entry, if you have detached outbuildings he may force entry to these if he believes there are goods inside he can take to satisfy the debt in whole or in part.

You really need to contact the Court and ask for details of where all the documentation was sent and also ask if they will send you copies out as you have not received anything previously.

Thank you so much- I am not able to do this now til Monday due to not working near any court. Should I pay anything to the sheriffs office tomorrow and do I need to make them aware that we are not legal owners of the cars we drive?

The bitch that is my dads wife has text to say she has instructed her solicitor to say we have to pay £350 a month and sell the car within 6 weeks. But if the car is sold, the proceeds are my mother in laws as already mentioned.

Tell them you are not Legal owners so they cannot take the cars have some proof of this I think that calling her a bitch is an understatement I would fear for your dads safety and sanity.

She is a cow- the reason for the fall out in the first place was because my dad admitted she hit him and he was scared of her- but no amount of talking to him made any difference - he will not leave her!

oh and I don't have any proof that the cars aren't mine. I could get my mum in law to sign something to say the car is hers legally but my father in law is in Spain - could get an email from him I suppose!

If the cars have not been seized then there is no need.

Well he may be seriously p1**ed off but so what, not a lot he can do especially if he can't gain entry. As for the cars you said previously he was happy you didn't physically own them which makes it difficult for him to change his mind.

I didn't actually tell him that we weren't legal owners though- it never got that far which is why im wondering if i need to cotact the sheriffs office and let them know

If you have not received a Controlled Goods Agreement listing the cars then at this stage I would not bother. In the meantime I would gather together the evidence you need should they be seized. If possible I would also move the cars well away from your home to prevent anything happening.
