Beat the Bailiff - tv show

scaredy_cat

I have just wached Beat the Bailiff tv 'show'. I think it doesn't give people the full picture in dealing with Bailiffs and sorting out debts.

What is your opinion about the show?

i have just watched this show too, i wouldnt have though they would have taken half his bed and just left his mattress!
he was a bit of a scronger to h is parents and i think he probably deserved to have his stuff taken , not like he was struggling to cope and fell in to debt he was just lazy and greedy!

the guy on yesterday had £100k of debt and his inital attitude was 'well, the cc compaines insure themselves against debt so why should he pay it'!

but soon changed his mind when his fridge filled with £300 of booze was emptied!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I didnt realise it was back on. I love it although can be a bit scary to think that could happen.
I do agree with you though scary cat, they dont seem to help the people sort them selves out.
There is a better one from america its called til de$t do us part. Thats really good as the woman gives them challenges and looks at the stress in the family etc.
Some people are just plain silly and live off credit not looking at the bigger picture.

i thought Lorne was quite rude to the couple yesterday (Jamie and Michelle) saying they wasted their money on a wedding. Okay maybe it was a trifle expensive but it seemed to me that Lorne regards weddings as a total waste of money and it's not for her to make that sort of judgement on people. She also commented on the amount spent on driving lessons. well, lessons are expensive and if yuou don't take to it lke some people you will spend a lot. Just the way it is Lorne.

She was also misleading when she said that in bankruptcy they would take all their assets which is simply not true.

I hate her as a TV presenter, such a patronising woman and her voice grates on me
