I've also heard that bailiffs can't enter your property unless the door is opened to them and at the moment no one can be forced to open their door.
I've also heard that if you have a child under the age of 18, then bailiffs are prohibited from removing anything and apparently they can't take anything that doesn't belong to the person with the debt.
My mum has read a couple of books by Jonathan Aitken and in one he refers to the bailiffs coming round his but they couldn't take anything as his son was under 18 at the time.
I never thought much of Aitken before, but he sounds an ok sort of guy..
Apparently the papers wrote a load of lies about him as is their want.
Although he obviously wouldn't have gone to prison if he'd done nothing wrong.
When the prisoners got letters he read them for them and helped them write ones back.
In short it all changed my opinion about him.
I know this is the wrong thread but my mum's read: 'Pride and Perjury' by Jonathan Aitken.
Anyways, getting back to the topic.....
I used to be a clerical/receptionist at a vat office (prop shouldn't say this!!)
Customs were always sending the bailiffs out and I felt really sorry for the people coming in to pay their overdue bills.
I know how easy it can be to get into debt.
If you owe customs money, they won't hesitate to send the bailiffs in....but if they owe you money, it will take 'forever' to get it out of them.
