About a week ago a bailiff from "Direct Collections Limited" showed up at my door un-announced - this is not the main story but a build-up which I immediately posted on reddit to document, the main story will be after this: Well apparently that wasn't bad enough, because today this happened: This took an unfortunate turn. A different bailiff showed up at my house, this time "xxxxxx" the team leader of Direct Collections Ltd showed up - edit, considering the incident with the last bailiff he was promptly told i won't be talking to him, I asked him if he has a court order for anything or any documents that required I had to speak to him - he said no, and so I attempted to shut the door... He then stuck his leg inside the door and tried to push his way through, he pushed me back while doing this - I managed to force him out of the door and lock it (again - to clarify he has NO paperwork that allows him to enter the property) when I locked the door he was opening the letterbox and shouting through it, I asked him what paperwork he has on him and he said he had a paper that he had to show me... What I've later learnt is the company he's "collecting" for haven't done their research to realise that the company has gone into liquidation and I have gone into bankruptcy (hence living with my parents), so the bailiff is trying to show me a guarantee that I signed 4 years ago when I first setup the company - which he has no legal rights to show me if I don't want to see it. At this point he shouted through the door "I'll be waiting outside, you've got to come out at sometime i'll rip your ****ing face off when you do" we immediately phoned the police. While my mum was phoning the police our dogs (Labradors!) were barking, he shouted that he would kill them if they got anywhere near him. He continued with a tirade of abuse including "If this was a different place, i'd put you in hospital". After around 10 minutes we figured the police would be arriving any moment so we then waited in the side alley of our house behind a gate for the police, and for some bizarre reason he went and got a camera and took a picture of us all stood there. Now you might think this story would have a good ending when the police arrived of him being arrested.. Unfortunately we seem to have a distinct lack of police who understand the law regarding bailiffs, because as soon as they realised he was a bailiff - they immediately took the "you owe debt and he's collecting" stance, we explained to them the situation and everything that happened and their stance didn't change, and in fact took a tone with us as if we were being over-dramatic . The situation has ended with him leaving and nothing being done, and the police telling me he may be back. The baliff claimed he didn't force entry - he "just put his foot in the door" and that we were trying to set our dogs on him... Our labradors... through a locked front door... My mum is now in tears and frightened to leave the house - thanks xxxxxx police for protecting us! As far as I know he will be returning, and I will hope to get a video camera up before anything happens - unfortunately it's hard to grab one while being assaulted.
