  • Um yes you can otherwise anyone would avoid a debt by making sure someone always owned a tiny proportion so it couldnt be taken or just make sure when you owe money just dont stay at home.

    Clearly a troll knows far more about what bailiffs can and can't do than a former bailiff. I stand corrected <sarcasm>.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything
  • So to clarify you are saying if a bailiff cant locate the debtor but can locate property he partially owns they have no rights of recourse to use that (in any shape or form ) to recover the value of the debt.
