miro2021 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 It's one thing accommodating your own offspring if they are unable/unwilling to support themselves - parents are always going to find the 'cruel to be kind' thing difficult to carry through and many will be worried about what other people might think if they refuse their own children houseroom...but maybe a good tactic would be to refuse to house their boyfriend/girlfriend as well. That way there would be more incentive for them to get their employment act together in order to live together. At the moment they have everything they need.

undeservingrich Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Something that this programme doesnt show properly is that when the bailiffs knocks on the door and whoever opens its, the bailiffs steps into the house without being invited. In practice the bailiff shouldnt do this, they need to be invited into the house first upon which you have then surrended your last rights so to speak. Bailiffs are powerless to do anything if you dont invite them into the house and they cant force themselves in either so they are not as scarey as they would have us believe. Not true a Bailiff with a county court warrant can enter any opening including a window but can not force entry. Once they have been in once and taken walk-in-possession they can force entry. Bailiff law is long overdue for reform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddyboy Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 If this little 'scrote' lives in his mums garage then surely when the baliffs come round it puts a black mark on the credit rating of that postcode? Are they stupid??? Oh yeah... they are! Nevermind. TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Not true a Bailiff with a county court warrant can enter any opening including a window but can not force entry. Once they have been in once and taken walk-in-possession they can force entry. Bailiff law is long overdue for reform. One thing that irritated me about this programme was that they didn't show the requirement for a county court judgment or anything like that. It seemd to indicate that all a bailiff had to do was send you a warning letter and arrive on your doorstep. It also didn't really give any serious suggestion as how to get out of debt or who to go to for advice.
