Re: Changes Introduced by The Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013
Thank you for your response, Milo.
Although CIVEA expect their members to follow its guidance, it looks like it is a case of "old habits die hard" where certain civil enforcement companies are concerned, which is of concern, not only for debtors, but also those civil enforcement operators who keep to the rules.
In order for a regulator to have the confidence of all parties, it has to be totally independent and funded by the taxpayer. One solution is to have a specific tribunal to deal with civil enforcement matters under the umbrella of HMCTS, once the politicians can be stopped from playing silly beggars with the justice system.
I agree with your feelings on Regulation 45A entirely. However, I would not be surprised if local authorities lobbied for it to become a duty and not a right to send a 14-day notice following the issue of an LO.
Quelle surprise as to who it was that lobbied hard to reduce the notice period to 7 days. The argument they put forward holds about as much water as a sieve. I have come across cases where Rent Bailiffs have broken the law or assisted landlords to break the law and I think we are aware of which High Court Enforcement operators give their industry a reputation it doesn't deserve.
