okay, i will talk to OH when he gets in and i will ring dukes monday to set up re-payment plan before this gets passed to a flesh and blood bailiff. thanks for the great advice

Surely if he was working there they dont have the right to take it any way cant you get in touch with the place he was working as i dont think think bailiffs can do that as its on hp they cant

bailifffs think there above the law

The following website is from one of our regular posters, Herbie21. Although it is a company website, you will find some excellent advice:

http://www.bailiffadviceonline.co.uk

This lists the fees that can be charged for first and second visits..

Please note that a lot of the so called bailiffs who have been visiting people recently are not registered and if this is the case, you do not have to pay the fees.

if you PM Herbie21 with the names of the people who have posted these threats to HErbie21 and the company name, she can check if they are allowed to charge the fees.

Do make sure you keep the doors and window locked, do not open the door to the bailiff and do not leave a car or anything else outside that they can levy on (unless the car is on HP).

i would not suggest you ring the bailiff on Monday. Give yourselves time to get advice, collect together some money, refuse a levy/WPO and only offer half what you can afford in then first instance. You need to have one payment in hand in case something goes wrong.

Update

Following the advice I received on here, I emailed Dukes and asked them for a breakdown. That was nearly a month ago now and we've heard nothing back from them yet.

Also my partners car hasn't been parked outside our property for 3 weeks as he's working away. so if anyone has been without me knowing, the car hasnt been there.
