Ok, yesterday there was a knock at the door. It was a bailiff...I pretended too be someone else and told him that "I" didn't live there anymore.
I live in a shared house with a live in landlady. If she found out that the bailiff came then I would be kicked out and homeless.
Anyway, I told the bailiff (pretending too be someone else) that I didn't live there, that "I" had moved out about 3 months ago.
I told him it was a shared house and that people come and go. he asked for the landladies number which I didn't give him.
He passed me the letter (that was meant for me) and told me too give it to the landlady and that he WOULD RETURN IN 5 DAYS!!!(Monday 25th June)
I am going to the Citizens Advice Bureau tomorrow for their help.
I haven't told my landlady as I know she will hit the roof (understandably).
I have been such an idiot...I should have repied too the Court letters but didn't. I know i've done wrong...please help me.
Will I be able too stop the bailiff from returning and my landlady from finding out? I have friday, saturday and sunday too sort it. What can I do!

I can see why you're worried, but I'm not sure that your landlady would 'kick you out' if it's not her you owe the money to. If you've been paying your rent and respecting the tenancy agreement then she'd have no incentive to ask you to leave, and you're entitled to the same rights and treatment as any other tenant. Don't panic, try talking to her and explaining the situation, she may be more understanding than you expect.
