Repossession help

[Shadowcat]

This may already be on the forum and I wasn't sure where to put it, found on the Shelter website:

What happens if I apply to stop or delay the bailiffs?

When you fill in the form for the court hearing, you will be given a date and time for a hearing. The judge may agree to stop or delay the bailiffs if:

• you are ill or have young children, and need more time to find somewhere else to live
• your circumstances have changed (for example if you have a new job) and you are likely to be able to pay off what you owe if you are given more time
• there is a good reason why you haven't done anything to stop the eviction earlier (for example, you have been ill, or away and were not aware of the situation)
• your lender or freeholder got the possession order by fraud or didn't follow the correct procedure.

If the judge decides to stop or delay the bailiffs' visit, you should immediately contact the bailiffs' office at the court to make sure that they are aware that the eviction has been stopped or delayed.
