Otherwise you could end up with a bailiff at the door who may not immediately believe you are not the debtor! (If that should happen be prepared to show them ID - some people will say that this is an invasion of privacy etc etc but if you put yourself in their shoes it may not seem so unreasonable)
It was April Fools' Day yesterday.
I think not! If a "bailiff" turns up - and I mean a court bailiff - you ask to see their ID and then send them packing if they haven't got a warrant. Don't enter into any discussion with them other than to order them off your property.
For debt collectors, and remember such people are not bailiffs, simply order them off your property immediately. Don't under any circumstances invite them into your property.0
