  • You only get bailiffs after a court issues a CCJ and you don't pay.

    You can check if you have any within the last 6 years by searching trust online.

    When did you last pay the accounts? May have been sold to DCAs by now, so you would have to deal with them.

    If you search your report, DCAs that subscribe to updates or do a search will get any linked addresses, presumably you have moved since paying last?
