Hi all,
I'm a lodger, living with my landlord. I noticed a letter to her in the kitchen (shouldn't have read it, I know!) saying that bailiffs will be coming round to seize goods for public auction due to non-payment of council tax. It said that she has failed to arrange to a time for them to come round.
I'm concerned that they will seize my goods in addition to hers. I don't have a tenancy agreement with her, its more informal that that for various reasons that I won't go into now. But I pay rent etc.
Can they seize my goods?
Thanks

No they can't. Take a look at the Citizens Advice Bureau factsheet on Bailiffs

This was covered on a BBC programme not long ago.
They will be taken and it is up to you to prove ownership. If you've got no proof, i.e receipts, chances are they'll be sold.0
