    Yes the timings of these letters are of course deliberate, the office is closed, the visit is pre-arranged, all typical bailiff tricks.

    Just to re-iterate what fatbelly has told you (above) do not open the door to them, keep it locked, keep them outside at all times, best to stick a letter on the outside of the door categorically stating your husband does not live there.

    Do not get into conversation with them, do not speak with them, do not engage at all, just refer them to the letter on the door.

    If you engage, they will see that as away to get you to open the door, despite your husband not living there.

    They will only back down once what you have told them is confirmed, so under no circumstances let them in, keep it locked!!

    Okay thanks guys.

    He comes and stays when I work a night shift to look after the kids once a week and typically I’m working tomorrow night so he will be there until Monday morning after he’s walked the dog. 🫣 
    Hopefully they’ll appear Monday after 9am sometime and he won’t be around.

    Also he told them last time the ballif turned up at the wrong house (our old house) that he was homeless and that’s what they updated his address to. I guess they want to exhaust all other options first.
