stokefan

the neighbours weren't in when the blokes came.
also I haven't payed any of my debts for nearly 2 years and I've recieved a few letters which basically said a new company have taken over the debt

I don't get ripped off at all, as it happens. Not sure where you got that from.

Debt collectors will be armed with a few threats, nothing more. Tell them to jog on.

Bailiff's will be armed with a warrant that allows them entry into your home to remove goods

No they won't (Except in a very few specific cases that don't apply to CCJs). They will have a warrant that allows them to attempt peaceable entry. This is not the same thing at all.

if you prevent them from entering they can call the Police,

Whose interest in a matter like this begins and ends with preventing breaches of the peace by either side.

who do have the right to smash your door in if you keep refusing entry.

Nonsense. They have no such "right" in a case like this. The police's interest begins and ends with preventing a breach of the peace in matters like this. Nothing else.

There's no point sugar coating the process.

There is a point, however, in getting the process right.

no, nobody turned up with a tow truck, they just left about 50 minutes after threatening that.

also i thought, i didnt have to allow bailiffs in my home, but if i left a window open etc they could gain 'peaceful' entry, but werent allowed to push past me etc.

This is correct, except in a few specific cases that don't appear to apply here.

thanks for clearing that up

This is rampant rubbish and you should be ashamed of yourself misleading people as to the legal situation.

Go and learn about the real legal situation before you post on bailiffs again read here for a start. http://www.bailiffadviceonline.co.uk/
