    Thankyou for replying.

    So will I get a letter as well saying when the bailiffs will be coming or will they simply just turn up? And will they just turn up tomorrow, which is the day the possession order says I have to be out.

    No, they'll write to you so that you have time to pack up and arrange storage etc.


    They are there as a legal force, not a physical force (thought they can, but typically wont, use physical force)

    Well they might.
    Or they might just turn up and we can all watch it on channel 5 in a few months time.

    Unfortunately, county court bailiffs always give notice before carrying out the eviction...

    Slightly off track but out of interest when did you last pay rent?
    From previous posts it appears you paid for a period that was to end in March?

    Bailiffs always give notice, and I believe recently high court EO's have been instructed that previously they were incorrect in not providing notice.

    I guess because a court has already has instructed the tenant that they must vacate the premises.

    If CC bailiffs charged an extra fee for a "no notice" attendance, I would pay it.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.

    The point of the notice is so that everyone gets a good result. It's not about punishing the tenant, that's not what the court is there to do.


    Some councils wont act until bailiffs notice is received, or in extreme cases when bailiffs are actually there.

    Why make the situation more tense than it already is?
