Baliff Notice
« on: 21 October 2011, 22:57 »
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?

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.
