thanks dom2599, at court tommorow, civil court, 10am, next door to the bailiffs office, tempted to pop in and say hello muppets, and advise them of how to tell the time, right proper muppets. Better keep me gob shut, meeting barrister with solicitor to put paperwork together. Another rollercoaster few weeks ahead, cant wait to see what they offer us. Will keep you posted.

I am really sorry to read about all that has gone on. I hope you tell the judge what your wife's situation is and he understands the details and implications, because if I was the judge I'd be going berserk at the bailiffs.

too many vodkas tonight will give you a bad start to tomorrow - try to relax instead - a silly game of monopoly or something equally mad will cheer you up rather than suffer the inherent depressive effects of alcohol tonight - fair enough have a right royal shindig tomorrow night when you have won !!

clutton, not a bad start to the day, did restrain myself from too many vodkas. met the barrister, nice chap, and my solicitor. only thing i had to do was sign the paperwork to commence proceedings. very straight forward. now i have to wait for hearing dates and more form filling. wasnt that bad after all, did expect it to a frighting experience but it was all good. just a cat and mouse game now with building society.

cheers all

We had our house repossessed a few weeks ago, however on the day of the eviction we were at court having the warrant suspended. The judge granted us the suspension as we had a buyer at contract exchange stage, however the bailiffs had already entered our house up to an hour earlier than stated on the warrant.

The warrant for entry was 11am, Judge suspends warrant at 10am. Bailiffs informed at 10.15 not to enter. Bailiffs entered our house and the gas, electric, water disconnected. Stickers on boiler, gas and electric mains saying do not use. Damaged new front door, replaced locks with sub standard rusty replacement lock, and other minor damages.

I have a solicitor in place acting on our behalf, just waiting to see what the lenders response is yet.

Need a vodka pick me up now.

Total bummer! Don't lose the plot (but a bit of vodka is a good idea)

I thought it was the law that baliffs must be invited in and cannot break in? other wise how do you know the difference between them and a burglar?

you do not have to let a bailiff in, unless he has a court order in his hand - in which case you do.
