    Blackbetty, I know its difficult but as a first step try not to let this get to you. Allowing it to get on top of you now will not be any help to you. I had a breakdown in 2008 so I do know how the pressures make you feel.
    I appreciate that you are concerned about your housemates possessions but in one regard you are in a good position because you have nothing. They can not take what you do not have.
    For the experts who will I hope come on here soon, have you at any point allowed the bailiff to come into the property to make a note of your property? I'm assuming you have not as if you had they would know you have no property to take.
    Please don't let the emotion get the better of you. There is very little that they can do to you in your position and they know it, which is why they are being nasty to you.
    Keep watching out here for more detailed advice about how to protect your housemates possessions.

  • I agree with Norfolk Jim..they are being nasty to you because they know there us little they can do, so are trying to be so cruel and hope the pressure makes you magically appear with the money. These creditors really do make me sick

    there was a letter from the High COurt people saying that as I hadn't contacted them at all

    This is blatant lies but basically a standard letter they send out (not unknown for people to get these even when they have made payments).

    Start by writing to them registered post and remind them that you spoke to them on x date and told them that you

    1. Have applied for a stay of execution.
    2. Have applied for the CCJ to be set aside.

    Add that as previously stated you live in a shared house and that since your divorce you have no assets other than your clothes and a few personal items.

    I'd follow RAS's advice, definitely knows what they are talking about.

    Please don't worry -
    1) you don't have anything worth taking
    2) if they were to turn up and you felt threatened call the police. I can't comment on whether they would or wouldn't but obviously RAS is saying it is a scare tactic and she could well be right.

    I would follow RAS's advice and keep copies of the letters and when you sent them and proof so that you can complain of harrassment if necessary.

    Good Luck

    Thank you, I am going to write again tonight and send it recorded like you said. How can people work for companies that do this to people?

  • Hello, can I ask a question - if there is something like the TV that I own jointly with my housemates as we pooled to get it, can the bailiffs take it? In the same way I part own some dvd's that we bought together as well.

    They can't take anything if you never let them in.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
