Can bailiff's take things on finance/credit?

I'm just wondering what country court bailiff's can take for a CCJ. Are they allowed to take things on credit/finance? For example Sky Glass TV (on finance with Sky) mobile phones/tablets on contract etc.

I've tried googling it but the only information I can find is about cars on finance. 

Thank you.

    Generally they wont take items like that as they are bulky (in the case of the TV) and will fetch a pittance at auction.

    You are asking a theoretical question and the theoretical answer is no because if we are talking about hire purchase/conditional sale/PCP then it is not your asset until the final payment.

    It may be better to ask about the reality of the situation you are in
