Indeed.  However HCEO have no right of entry in to a domestic premises (or a commercial premises where access to a connected domestic premise is through the same entrance).  They are effective against someone who is unwitting or unprepared but against someone who knows their rights and ready for them then they are are of little use and once they  realise they are unable to collect will soon return the case to their client.
So despite their fancy words and threats they really are not to be feared and can be easily seen off.

But as bargepole has suggested, I cannot use DCBL as the debt is under £600 - is that correct?

What I had read up on also said if the debt is under £600 the county court Bailiffs only can deal with it

A company like DCBL wears 3 hats, debt collectors, legals for the county court and High Court Bailiffs.  £600 and above is for the High Court to instruct.

£95 for you remains within the county court and their bailiffs

 If that is correct, there are plenty  who will.   I have a drawer full of duns for small amounts from DCAs for a mystery tenant.

VCS are a commercial entity so right of entry is allowed and they will seize goods if needed

if you can find any account details to pay THEM you can also get it garnished directly from those accounts.

They always quote bank details on thier "settlement offer letter" just make sure its the bank account in the name of vcs"
Would annoy them having the account frozen more then anyone turning up!

Interesting. Does that go on the N323 warrant of control application or is it a different form?

As browntrout says there are details on their letters. Would have to check if it is VCS.  Would be with amusing😁

I am intending ringing them prior to sending the email just for the fun of seeing if anybody is prepared to speak to me and see what they have to say. Those **** Bwlegal rang us 53 times even after our son had moved out😡 We have six years don’t we to claim?!!!

Personally, I wouldn't 'phone anyone until I had got the money.
