lots of revisits last night-cheeky evictee with multiple hairstyles lol,love the note supervised visit at the end
Usual scenario - did you see the piles of shoe boxes? Yet she couldn't pay the rent.The woman with the parking fines was an odd case. Surely the landlord or selling agent would have told her she needed a permit? I know she was trying to get a "disabled" permit because of her child, but in the meantime why didn't she just use a normal permit like everyone else? Just ignoring it like it wasn't happening, and then a bill of £2k.

@ all that cash that was magically and so calmly pulled out of a bucket by the debtor. Mmmm grotty tanning salon + loads of cash, wonder what they’re really up to?
Indeed - lots of questions to answer there. Do you think the bailiffs ever inform the police, or are they happy enough just to get the dosh?nicanary said:

Noted that the evicting landlird had told him to stop paying his rent so Mr Abdullah could build up a cash pot to help with the circumstances. All decent people hindered by the council system.
On another note, who reckons they team Mr Carracher with Steve and Paul to rein him in a bit.

Aren't they obligated to complete money laundering documentation for taking that amount of cash? The bank will certainly make them fill them in when they go to pay it in.
The whole thing has to be a front for something, all behind 3rd partynames that may have little to do with the real action, seemed to be confirmed by the responses of the individual producing the bucket of cash. The reaction of the two women in the shop when they first asked for the defendant by name spoke volumes. Then what about the bloke essentially clearing up and taking away as much of the accumulated paperwork as he could. Shady as they come. Oakey said:

This is from 2012 but it states that High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEO) are not regulated when it comes to money laundering so it's up to each HCEO firm how they handle large cash transactions.https://thesheriffsoffice.com/articles/money-laund...
Watched a recent one where, whilst I have no doubt the agents were acting legally I think their tactics were morally questionable.
In short woman owed ~6k iirc, living at her parents' house. Clearly she had nothing worth seizing,her belongings seemed to be piled in a downstairs room, temporary bedroom possibly. Agents put the pressure on in the usual way that unless all the rest of the entire contents of the house could be proven to be her parents they were going to take the lot. Yet her parents were away for a couple of days, yet this woman was presumably expected to know where any paperwork was stored, or even if any receipts had been kept.
This seemed to me to be somewhat unreasonable.
Of course elsewhere in the programme was the other type of debtor, no we have no money to pay, van ordered, out comes a roll of notes fit to choke a dozen donkeys.
