What goods can the Bailiff take? |
|
By law, the Bailiff may NOT take:
· any tools, books, vehicles and other items of equipment you need for your work or business;
· any clothing, bedding furniture, household equipment and food you need for your basic domestic needs or those of your family.
But the Bailiff may take anything else you own. If you are renting something or buying it on hire purchase, or if you can show it belongs to someone else, tell the Bailiff and he should leave it off his list of your belongings.
The Bailiff should only list enough items that, when sold at auction, cover the amount of the Liability Order and their own charges. But remember, your belongings will not be worth as much as when you first bought them. This means that the Bailiff may take more items than you would expect. |
