Few months ago, I started to receive letters for unknown person at my address which I use to returned to sender. Now I've received baliff for same person at my address, stating to recover cost, either pay the fine or they will take possessions from my home. I've spoken to baliff person over the phone to let him know there is no one at this address with that name but he won't listen.
Need advice where do I stand with this sh!t :undecided: :undecided:

I get these letters all the time (rented property) and have been told that if anyone does turn up, to just show them some ID etc to prove you're not the person wanted.
Also heard its very unlikely they would break an entering.

Legal advice is best mate, speak to a pro. Listen to some people on the net is a sure way to get the wrong advice.
I think to myself, what would Bellend do and then do the opposite!

There goes my business on the split rims I've just bought. :rolleyes:
I would PM The Mighty Elvi or wait for his reply, gotta give it to him he knows his law. :wink:

If you open the door and they cross the treshhole, they can enter the property. So don't open the door open a window and ask wat they want

1. A Bailiff cannot enter your home without a court order.
2. A Court order cannot be granted until you "as debtor" are convicted of a default, and the lender has won the right to enter your premises to remove goods to sell to recover the debt.
Now. Before I go on..
1. Do you rent or own?
2. Is the name of the person they are chasing a previous tenant/owner?
3. Or is it a "similar" name to yours?

Split rims? The ones your not buying and selling on? Ok, that's cool. Will look nice powder coate in shadow chrome and silver lips., don't know anyone down your way to do them just yet.

No, that would be the wheels I purchased today on the way home from Thorpe Park. :)
Dw, there are many companies. I hate refurbing wheels.

1. I'm tenant.
2. I've spoken to owner and he doesn't know the person either.
3. My first name is same as his last name.

Is there a chance you could have slight identity theft or something?
I know someone who had a phone contract falsely written out to his address. After phoning and saying he was recording the call, got straight to a manager and bang, sorted with one phone call.

I had a similar issue. I rang the debt collector up and we agreed to meet at a certain time. Showed him my ID and my tenancy agreement, with the lettings agent name visible so he could verify everything with them too. No issues after that.
-
iv seen it on that ballifs program just show them your id they will leave you alone,or keep a bat behind your door if you get some meat head trying to force his way in wrap it round his nut lol

Don't even need to do that.
I've had letters for previous tenants with unpaid Sky bills (£100+), unpaid heating bills and stuff. Each time, just rang the company on the letter, told them I was the current tenant and the date we moved in, and that was it.
I guess if it was more than £1000 they might want proof, so meeting them with ID and tenancy agreement might be the only way.
But basically, it can't hurt to call the company on the letter.
Call them, find out the deal, they might drop it there and then, or might want to meet for proof, but should be easily sorted.

I see these all the time for the flat upstairs, The Landlord takes cash/Dss tenants they rent for a year borrow loads of money / buy loads of big expensive goods and do the off.
They have many names each, mostly combinations of the same names.
One perp had a black VW at the same time as me, and i got followed to work few times.
All of the trouble has been with foreign nationals bar one English guy who had a court order to not even be in the borough (ABH/GBH on former spouse) and convictions for coke dealing.
Most of these bogus people woud not be able to set up properly if the Landlord did the right checks and took a 6 month deposit, a large chunk of our fraud problems are from the buy to let boom of the last few years imho, with landlords floating slum empires on dodgey tenants with no questions asked.....
Consequently my relationship with the landlord is very tense, especialy since I cost him 4k in back tax on his "non buy to let mortgage" :lipsrsealed:

Both of you are right, this approach gets it sorted quick, most baliffs dont want to chase shadows any longer than they have to.
