Ultimately though - if the ex husband has never lived at that address, she can simply tell the bailiffs that the person they are looking for isn't there, and has never lived there, they've got the wrong address. She can then demand that they leave her property. She should categorically NOT let them in (regardless of what they tell her) and ideally if she can talk to them through an open window rather than the front door, so much the better!
All you can do is not allow them access, and inform them in writing (to their head office) said chap does not reside there, and to refer back to their client.
More than a third of IVA`s fail....fact.
