Are these guys allowed to use a locksmith to gain entry to a residential property? My idiot brother has got an unpaid fine they're chasing and have told him they'll break in to remove goods, I wouldn't mind but it's my mums house!

It's for £890 for a fine for doing a wheelie. I'm trying to get it through to him he'll have to give them his car if it comes to it.

Does he own a dragster? How did he wheelie a car?

Why has the court got your mum's address for your brother? Is/was he living there at the time of the offence?

How the censored did he manage to do a wheelie on the public road in a car?

Bear in mind this will be a magistrate's court fine the enforcement agent is chasing, not a civil debt. Your mum needs to have a word with your brother before it gets out of hand.

Who said it was in a car? Maybe, just maybe, he has a bike as well?
In one.

First of all my brother is a total and utter idiot. About 18 months back he got caught doing a wheelie while we were both out on our bikes, he got offered a course for due care and attention or similar, it was £100. He ignored it, got a day out in court and 5 points/£500 fine for his trouble. He ignored this too, resulting in the enforcement agents calling today. He lives in a room at my mums.

It's all done with now, as per usual someone bailed him out and paid the debt, so he'll carry on living his life not taking any responsibility for his actions.

Thanks all for the help anyway. He wont be wheelie-ing anymore as the bike was repossessed last year.

I assume he has reached the UK age of majority. Maybe it's time mum had a serious discussion with him.
If that doesn't work kick him out. Otherwise it looks like he's never going to become a functioning adult.
Yup, tried telling them that, my dad paid his debt for him this time, next time it'll be someone else no doubt. I was hoping this incident would get my mum to give him a kick up the arse but I cant see it tbh. When it comes to it, they both say the same, 'he's our son' rolleyes

So why don't you reeducate him?
Who? My brother? He is 25, I have tried for the past 10 years and got nowhere, he doesn't listen, I'm better off talking to my dog.
