Hello guys,
I really hope you may be able to help me.
I currently live in a shared house with 4 other housemates.
In November, a guy moved in who was eventually evicted from the property in January.
Since then, we have had numerous letters for him from DCA's,
each one has been seen back "return to sender, not known at address."
we haven't had anything for him recently, so I assumed that they had removed the address and that was the end of it.
However, we have now had 2 bailiffs attend the property looking for him.
The first time I was in and told them that he no longer lives here and was told they would pass that onto the office and see if they can locate him at another property.
I have come home today to find a letter from Rossendales,
saying they will be attending the property in the next 24 hours unless contact is made.
Now heres the problem I have.
Thanks to this site, I am aware of what bailiffs can and cannot do.
However, 2 of my housemates are Polish and don't speak very good English.
I work 5 days a week, and am out of my house for over 12 hours
so the chances of me being in when they come are slim.
I've tried to explain to the guy who's here most of the day that they cannot enter the house,
but I dont think he understands.
I have contacted the bailiff, who says he can't guarantee he wont re-attend.
Is there anything else I can do to stop them attending?
I obviously don't want them to come into the house,
and potentially take not only my things, but the items we share.
I do have a contact number for one of his friends, but they seem very reluctant to take it..
Thanks for your help!
