I have just rang my local constabulary and they claim that if they have the right court order they can use a locksmith to enter into your property.

I clicked on the link that was given and I cannot find anything about bailiffs being able to use locksmiths to enter into properties. Please help!!

Most police don't seem to have a clue about the law covering bailiffs.

That is because they can't.

I think they can if it is a repossession order from the court and it is a court bailiff. Clearly though this is not in this case - perhaps that's what the police were referring to. The police are only likely to deal with repossessions with court orders and are unlikely I would have thought to get involved with other types of bailiff on a regaular basis -perhaps on the odd ocassion when one refused to leave or something.

This obviously is not relevant to your situation though.

Hi all

Thank you all for your links, I used this one: www.bailiffadviceonline.co.uk and rang them up and got hold of a lovely lady called Sheila who has written out a letter, and she said they cannot use a locksmith to gain entry unless they have done a walk in reposession, which they havent, so I feel a lot better now as she has emailed me a letter to get sworn and sent off and it will freeze it for about 5 weeks while it gets sorted out.

Thank you folks, I can sleep better now

Lovely to hear Sandra.

Good news Sandra, I am a police officer myself, what fermi says is right, we get no advice or training in civil law, and when people call us in your situation we honestly can't say one way or the other. We usually look at the paperwork etc. I wonder after reading ,the access through invitation bit if they use the police to gain that entry, as our attendance usually results in a conversation of the peacemaking type in the callers home rather than in the street !!!
