Can somebody please explain the right of entry LAW. Most on here say they cannot force entry, (as they incorrectly use the domestic violence act as a cover) yet the CAB have stated that this is fact and they were within their rights as it was a magistrates warrant

Renegadeimp, i have visited two Police stations, on three seperate occasions, and the inspector will conveniently not take meetings as dealing with bailiff is a "civil" matter

No Coughdrop, because the CAB havent got a clue when it comes to Bailiffs, so how can i trust them with helping issueing a claim?

Im back, as you suggested, and i REALLY need your help Seanamarts. Police dont want to know, courts don't wants to know, solicitors don't want to know, CAB dont know what they are talking about, ive run out of options!

Im back on here because a fter months of trying to get help and advice im back to square one. Ive visited all four courts in Birmingham, and nobody wants to know. Ive visited countless solicitors, and they are all "criminal" and not "civil" Ive been given two envelopes with "pack 7' and "pack 10" i think but have no idea how to fill them in or to what end. Why are everyone scared to attempt to bring bailiffs to justice? Even the CAB can't give the correct info. According to them, a "magistrates warrant" gives the bailiff the right to force entry? PLEASE HELP

Thankyou

Latest update. Still no joy. Can't even find a solicitor locally that does a no win no fee case against a bailiff! No wonder the scumbags get away with everything. I won't let this go. Can anybody advise how I can take Collectica to court? Thanks in advance

It just gets better. I've had a letter from the courts saying they are no longer interested in any further correspondence! So the court are refusing to take blame, and so are the bailiffs, and we are now left with a damaged door and a bill of £500+

Is this definately LAW though? In which case, why do the Police keep telling me its civil?

Hi, no the previous cheque was just the refund of the Collectica charge that I was forced to wrongly pay

The latest here is that the court have sent me a £200 cheque with no letter or phone call explaining what it's for. I presume it's to cover loss of earnings and costs of calls etc so no compensation, and nobody is willing to pay for our damaged door. Even the police keep fobbing me off. I have had to get an appointment tonight at the police station to make a complaint as they keep saying its a civil matter. Am I definately correct in insisting that the matter is criminal, and they are definately not allowed to force entry when they lodged their boots in the door? I need to be clear if I'm talking to the police later. Thanks in advance

I have today received a cheque from the court which I presume is compensation but its a joke. It's for £200 which I presume is to cover my loss of earnings and telephone calls, but we still have a £600 bill for our damaged front door. The bailiffs have told their employers Collectica that they didn't cause damage. Liars! So how do I get compensation for our door!!!!!!!

The court have still not given me written confirmation, but they have admitted being at fault for sending out a distress warrant by mistake, but the bailiffs are also at fault for the way they held open and damaged our door, yet I cannot get any help on this its just ridiculous!!!! Bb

Only just seen this Tom. Will get dates. I'm back on here as I've send two letters now, one to Collectica, and one to the managing director that was advised on here. Nearly three weeks later and still being ignored

Tom, these are the dates and times according to Collectica:- Account passes to Collectica on 22nd Feb under a warrant of distress Balance at time £55.00 Letter sent to me 28th Feb £85.00 admin fee added to my account increasing balance from £55 to £140.00 £55 received by Collectica via HMCTS on 26th, but admin fee still stands Second letter from C sent to me on 11th March I phoned C on 19th March to advise I had paid on time and would not be paying their fees. I was told action would continue Allocation of bailiff to my account on 22nd April Bailiff apparently visited on 23rd April and incurred attendance fee of £215.00 making total of £300 Further letter to me on 1st May followed by second bailiff visit on 4th June at 7.59am. Both visits we had no knock at the door Due to no further contact from myself bailiff allocated on 9th July and had the visit on 15th July They say their bailiff had informed them that to the best of their knowledge no damage was caused during their visit BLATANT LIE
