Who exactly has been at your door? When you mean "High Court", court appointed bailiffs? Normal bailiffs? or Debt collector??
Are you BR already and what was the debt for?0 -
I gather you are already BR, you should speak to the OR and refer any creditors or anyone acting on their behalf to the OR.
If anyone calls you have no obligation to let them in or speak to them... even if they claim to have a warrant, claim to be from the high court or whatever.
Beware, unscrupulous DCA's (That's most of them) will tell all manner of lies to attempt to collect debts regardless of any legal right. Don't talk to them just refer their demands to the OR.

Mynumber had the OR phone interview on Thursday or Friday last week, I assumed was BR because in my experience the OR only gets involved after a BR order has been made.0

Oh ok, I was making assumptions based on their comments in this thread where on 4th August mynumber said "when I go bankrupt" which implied they had yet to do so. I'd not seen any of their posts about having been BR or any OR interview so apologies."Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them."

mynumber is hoping to go BR the 20th this month

Replied to Finallysorted about their OR interview so easy mistake to make

Yes, just read all 19 Mynumber posts and its clear they are not yet BR, couldn't see anything about an OR interview.
I think we need more info about the 'high court' visitor before any advice can be given. Hopefully they will have left written evidence to go by which he will find when he returns home."Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

If they are High Court Bailiffs then they have exactly the same powers as County Court Bailiffs - that is peaceful entry with permission.
Keep the doors and windows locked and don't let them in.
