Dont let them in. The balifs will only be able to take things belonging to the debtor, if you are not the debtor and you can prove he no longer lives there they will most likely pass the debt back to the utility company.
We spoke to them through the window (no way he was coming in for a brew!) As soon as we explained the situation he left and the debt was passed back to the gas company.:jProud mummy to a beautiful baby girl born 22/12/11 :j0 -

Don't tell me, the bailiff told you that little fairy tale.
Bailiffs cannot legally take anything that doesn't belong to the debtor, and they cannot take anything at all if you do not sign a walking possession. All the debt charities will advise you not to let a bailiff onto your property, not to leave any doors or windows open (invitation) and not to sign anything.
Quickest and easiest way to get rid of a decent bailiff is to show your tenancy agreement or ID to prove you are not the debtor/ he doesn't live there. If the bailiff harasses you or say things to get you to pay or sign then call the police.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0
