How can somebody have a "career in parking" ? Perhaps he means that his last job was a Car Park Attendant. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Anyway - they all look like a bunch of smug chancers to me.

System

Don' you think though, that rather than following these people, it would be better to spend our money (you know, that licence fee thing ) on making programs that inform people of their rights, even if it was a one off special.

I mean ok, Martin has a loyal ever growing band of followers but i'm sure if the BBC made a program about a) what do do with debts b) The rights of the individual when confronted with this lot and such it would be a USEFUL bit of telly, rather than the crud we currently seem to be getting served with. Also a LOT of people would be educated on the dodgy tactics used, and how to start to tackle debt.

In fact, maybe we should write to the beeb (as they don't have to worry about offending Jeremy Kyle type program sponsors who will give you a 33.3% loan, next day. Bargain!

All that was going on was incorrect. The bailiffs as follows :

Jason Hillier - Special Operations & ANPR Manager

Jason has worked at JBW since 2004 and has quickly moved within the ranks of JBW as an Enforcement Officer, Team Leader, Group Manager and was finally promoted to Operations Manager in May 2006.
Jason has over 12 years experience within the security industry and has been a Certificated Bailiff for three years. Jason also spent 5 years in the British Armed Forces.
Jason is a Certificated Bailiff and holds a General Bailiffs Certificate. He is responsible for all Special Enforcement Operations.





Jamie B Waller - JBW Managing Director

Jamie has spent his entire working life within the enforcement industry and as a consequence, his knowledge is second to none. JBW has been fashioned by Jamies' vision of changing the public perception of enforcement. To facilitate this process Jamie is a regular face on UK television screens. He has been the face of certificated bailiffs since the first BBC1 documentary "Bailiffs" was aired in the summer of 2002, and since then he has appeared on four supplementary programmes with both the BBC and ITV.
He believes the best way to revolutionise the industry is to operate transparently and be highly accountable. On the rare occasion that Jamie escapes the office he might be found on a transatlantic expedition or trekking in Tibet! Jamie is a trustee of The Impstart Trust, which JBW is keen to support.




Marc Newton - Director of Administration

Marc takes care of the administration and finance departments of JBW and has been part of the team from day one. Marc had worked previously with another enforcement organisation as a Certificated Bailiff and joined JBW with an aspiration to succeed.

Since joining JBW, Marc has progressed from Assistant Operations Manager to Operations Manager and this year enjoyed promotion to Director of Administration. Marc shares his life with partner Paula and their little boy and is fanatical about motorcycles.






David Waitson - Commercial Director


Dave is a founder of JBW having spent a career in parking. He set out in 1971 and there is little he doesn’t know about the parking industry. Dave plays a leading role in the management team and he is responsible for human resources, litigation and JBW’s vehicle recovery department. Dave’s knowledge and experience in parking is a huge asset to the company and the clients we serve. When not in the office Dave spends much of his time with his children and grandchildren and at his apartment in Spain when time allows.


This chap has disspeared all of a sudden ? Wander why ?

When the bailiffs turned up they firstly should have shown their certificate, Then they should have shown the warrants etc, Then they should have taken action. Also the foot in the door. If you have a bailiff stick their foot in the door more than likely it will be steel toes. However that does not mean you cannot go for the leg. Various ideas come to mind. Then when it is discovered that the bailiff is not certificated then the shoe is on the other foot.

Just a quick one . On your comment about being smug. You have hit a sour note with this industry. The beeb should make a programme on how bailiff companies get their contracts.

I totally agree. The BBC is a company funded by the Licence Paying Public, and is, normally known and respected for it's commitment to Public Service.
The Enforcers was the type of 'filler' program that we would expect on one of the lesser known privately owned 'free to view' channels, where it would have attracted an audience of maybe 2 - 3,000 viewers. There was no attempt, by the programme makers, to point out where the 'bailiffs' were acting illegally, nor was there any attempt to suggest that those people who could be faced with 'dealing with bailiffs' do, in fact, have certain rights.
Whilst I appreciate that one of the 'victims' had not paid 19 Parking Tickets - the sum claimed by JBW, of £4,100, equates to over £215.00 per ticket - No mention was made of the fact that the original 'fines' had been grossly inflated by charges that were purely designed to line the pockets of JBW. This particular instance would have been far better dealt with by the Police.
As far as sticking posters on to a car, allegedly with no insurance, only to find out that the car was in fact insured, words fail me.
I do not see what possible justification people like JBW can have for accessing a publicly funded 'Vehicle Number Recognition' system - they are not public servants, and, if the programme is anything to go by, neither are they qualified to interpret and use the information that such a system provides.
The programme portrayed a totally unbalanced picture of the way that Bailiffs are allowed to openly 'flaunt' both the law and the rights of ordinary people.
The BBC should be TOTALLY ASHAMED to have put their name, and our money, behind a programme of such poor quality - I hope it was a one-off.

I am appalled by the inacraurate information put out by this programme and think as many people as possible should complain to the BBC, Ofcom and their local media.

Nabbed and edited this from elsewhere
Complaining to Ofcom Ofcom Contact Centre, Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London, SE1 9HA
Tel: 0845 456 3000
Fax: 020 7981 3333
Email: [EMAIL="contact@ofcom.org.uk"]contact@ofcom.org.uk[/EMAIL]

You can contact Ofcom if you want to make a complaint about any programme broadcast on television or radio.

There are two main categories of complaint: fairness and privacy, and serious broadcast complaints (material that is deemed ‘harmful, offensive, misleading, or raised an issue of impartiality, accuracy or contained inappropriate commercial activities’). You can also ‘submit views’ or express ‘general concern.’

You can only make a fairness or privacy complaint if you have a ‘direct interest in the subject matter of the complaint’ – in other words, only if your privacy has been invaded or a broadcast has treated you unfairly. As with the PCC, third party complaints will not be considered.

If you call the Ofcom contact center, operators will ask you what you are complaining about and then put you through to the relevant person. You can also write to them by post or fax and there is an online form for each category.

Tere is no requirement to say which precise clause of the Ofcom Code you feel has been breached, nor do you have to provide a copy of the offending material.

If you wish to complain about a radio broadcast, you must do so within 42 days of the broadcast.

I have sent my complaint to ofcom, and have given them the link to this thread.

BAILIFFCHASER

yes

Trust me there are some big names out there who are really really peed off at this programme.

This list is only indicative and shouldn't be treated as official.

Items they can’t take:

1. A chair to sit on, bed to sleep on
2. Non moveable items (e.g. door handles - plasma-screen bolted to a wall) Bailiffs cannot rip them off, but can break open doors or a safe once inside the house.
3. Tool of trade - including vehicles, van truck or a plated taxi/hackney carriage
4. Loose cash - unless you agree to pay with it
5. credit cards, chequebook, rentbook passports driving license etc.
6. Cooker microwave
7. Children’s books & clothes
8. Property not belonging to the debtor.
9. Food, fridge/freezer.
10. Medication, pharmacy, drugs controlled and prescribed, medical equipment e.g. a dialysis machine or nebuliser.

You will find a bailiff has no interest in unplugging the TV or taking the sofa but will look for a saleable item such as a car.

Except for this same bunch of cowboys, I'm sure it was the same JBW that took goods in the last bailiff style program last year, ISTR they took an old PC, a rack of CD's and a portable TV from one person.

I think there really should be an independent watchdog like the IPCC monitoring the Bailiff industry, and it be legislated that the committee of the organisation be made up of a majority of representatives from CAB, members of the public, and perhaps an MP.

They should have the power to fine a firm a % of their turnover for breaching rules.
