Being visited by bailiffs can be stressful but you have rights and you shouldn’t be bullied.

If they are collecting debt for the council, court fines you owe and child maintenance there are special rules they must follow. If they are collecting for one of these debts they should give you 30 days’ notice before they visit. They should not take property from your home. They should only talk to you, collect money or give you documents.

They are only allowed to try to come into your home between 6am and 9pm. Don’t let a bailiff into your home – it’s always best to try to sort out your debt by keeping them outside and speaking through the door or over the phone. Make sure your doors are locked and your windows are closed – bailiffs are allowed to come in through unlocked doors. If you have a porch with a lockable door you should lock this too. Depending on the kind of debt you owe, the bailiff will sometimes have the right to force entry by asking a locksmith to open your door if you won’t let them in. It’s very unlikely they’ll do this – you should still have the chance to pay without them coming in.

Call 999 if you’re being physically threatened by a bailiff – don’t let them into your home.
