It's possible that one or more of those criteria may apply, but I don't have the expertise or evidence to nail them with it.

My hope would be that the bailiffs would be tenacious enough to fully investigate all possible avenues, but they seem somewhat resigned.

Bailiffs are not legal experts. You need to contact a lawyer for that.

Bailiffs  have authority to clolect payment or seize goods from the relevant party. on direction from the court.

. They do not investigate liability.

That's all understood and fair enough.

But the bailiffs do still claim in all of their promotional materials that they will help the uninitiated to explore all available options.

I have heard next to nothing from them, except for one shallow and very generic "interim report", with no guidance on how best to proceed or whether the case is in fact a lost cause.
