Bailiffs

If an arrangement fails or is not offered the recovery team can consider sending a customers case to the bailiff. Before doing so the customer is sent a letter (PDF: 18Kb / pages) warning them that the debt will be sent to the bailiff in 14 days.

It includes an option to make an arrangement. Accompanying the letter is a schedule of costs - (PDF: 24Kb / pages) should the case be dealt with by the bailiffs.

Once the case has been passed to the bailiff it is rare we will become involved again.
