CSA Bailiff. Their target doesn't live here.

Using your address has been for the purpose of ensuring bailiffs come to you and not to him. He knew that when he chose to put your address down instead of his.
If he hadnt been lying for years or fulfilling his legal and moral obligations to support his children, you wouldn't be dealing with this now - all inconvenience, all worry, all potential damage to your business is purely of his doing.
Don't get angry with the bailiff doing their job. Be angry with the person whose actions has put you in this situation in the first place.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll

My mum had balliffs at her door looking for my sister. She hadn't lived there for 10yrs but had used my parents address obviously!
My mum just gave the balliff my sisters address and phone number and she never had any issues again.
The balliff is a normal working guy/girl they have to show some authority.DebtFree FEB 2010!Slight blip in 2013 - Debtfree Aug 2014 :j

iirc, it's not a legal requirement to be on the electoral register.
I am based in Scotland and had a reminder through about electoral registration that I believed threatened me with a fine for failing to supply.
However, I don't have that letter any more to verify it and perhaps that info was directed at those who give false information rather than those who don't submit or is Scotland specific.
My local council's website publishes the following info:-
Q: I don't vote/I'm not interested in politics.
A: Voting is not compulsory but the law provides that your name must appear on the Register of Electors.
In addition, the following council in England says failure to submit can result in a £1000 fine.

Glad to know the CSA do use Bailiffs, my ex has been threatened, but tells me it's an empty threat and they wouldn't remove stuff ( this was after having his bank account frozen).
If the items dont belong to him, then they can't remove it!0
