Panorama Programme - 7 April - Discussion

[mikeymack2002]

Spanner time

 

 

The "warrant" is NAME specific correct? it is for a NAMED person? Correct, the seizure of any car MUST be SPECIFIC to the NAMED person on the WARANT, not some random member of the PUBLIC Correct? therefore in my humble opinion the EA WILL be at fault for WRONGFUL seizure if they take the vehicle belonging to a different person NOT named on the warrant, so following my basic chain of thought here can ANYONE confirm this and make ANY comments please!

 

 

Sorry to all for the use of the BOLD function but this will let you see where I am trying to take this

I think this programme highlighted a couple of bad cases and bad cookies. It doesn't seem to be how it is done all the time, certainly not on the surface.

 

The sheriffs are coming shows bailiffs checking with the DVLA before taking a car, being firm but fair etc. but then I suppose that could be because they are knowingly filmed and apply the letter of the law correctly and do things as they should.

Not at all, pre 6 April there was a distinct difference between the likes of Bailiffs collecting for Council Tax/PCN's & High Court Enforcement Officers collecting on High Court Writs

You think that's how it's done most of the time? Post April 6th , there is no difference?

Well I think I certainly know more about it than you do, if you want to go round wearing rose tinted specs blaming everything on those that have difficulty paying you are living in a totally different world.

I didn't say that you didn't know more than me, did I? I was just taking part in the conversation, doesn't mean I'm not open to learning new information.

[porkyp1g]

I still don't think the majority of bailiffs act like they did on the tv programme. I wouldn't have allowed them to take my stuff without more of a fight.

[ploddertom]

If you want to know about Bailiffs you should have read a lot more threads on here and you would see how they behave rather than suffer from foot in mouth. I was always taught to engage brain before mouth.

I wish it was simply the case the program maker had just 'struck lucky' when filming the two incidents aired on Panorama, the reality is they could have made an hour long program 52 weeks of the year and still have room for a another series.

 

There is a vast difference between bailiffs collecting for pcn's, council tax etc.and High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEO's) acting on a writ but, if you read through the post's on here you will see they are not quite 'whiter than white' as you seem to view them.

[porkyp1g]

The posts on here though aren't always a true reflection. Don't forget we are only getting on side of the story on here.

 

I thought that hceo's also collected on unpaid fines and council tax etc?

The one side of the story from someone who may be vulnerable, and the same bailiff companies crop up, time and time again, where they have done something not quite kosher.

The clue is in the name - HCEO = High Court Enforcement Officer

The posts on here though aren't always a true reflection, a true reflection of what?

 

Don't forget we are only getting on side of the story on here. we do indeed but questioning their bailiffs 'enforcement' is what brings the poster's here in the first place

Then it just goes to show how little you understand things.

duplicate post

[porkyp1g]

Okay got it the first time. No need for the spam.

 

As I said I'm sure I've seen hceos collecting on unpaid council tax. If this is incorrect, then I bow to your superior knowledge.

 

You realise that hate is a path to the dark side don't you?

[HCEOs]

The confusion may lie where some large HCEOs also act as bailiffs collecting council tax.

 

Marston for instance have the words High Court Enforcement on the documentation that council tax debtors receive.

Thanks hceos that makes sense...
