Can't Pay? We'll Take it away
Discussion
9/10 times when they claim to be contacting the claimant to check if an arrangement is acceptable, it just seems to be the bloke in the office making an instant decision, and the collectors on the scene have already made up their mind anyway.
A bit like the car dealer who always has to go out and speak to his manager or the d/g salesman who has to ring his boss to get a discount.

In last nights episode, the woman with the X5 (and the temper
). If she was going to take the pi$$, why didn't the HCEO's then enter the house when the police were there and remove goods as well as the car to cover the whole debt? They could have told her the tv was going to cover the cost of the wing mirror!

Jesus! She was stupid and a boiler.).

They could have told her the tv was going to cover the cost of the wing mirror! Really felt sorry for the old disabled guy, as did the agents. Neighbour must be a real charmer.
I've come up with a CPWTIA drinking game. Take a shot every time you hear or see one of the following:
With the case on a knife-edge
With the situation spiralling out of control
A recent survey of small business owners
Statement of how many hours the agents have been at the property
Soft piano music as the debtor explains their situation
The debtor claiming to be someone else
Person arrest for assault or criminal damage being released without charge
Claims they are trading as a new company whilst the old signage and paperwork are being used
Funds magically being available when the recovery truck is called
"The community" all turning up to help
With the case on a knife-edge
With the situation spiralling out of control
A recent survey of small business owners
Statement of how many hours the agents have been at the property
Soft piano music as the debtor explains their situation

Person arrest for assault or criminal damage being released without charge

Not sure which episode it was, but the one where they were trying to recover from a Turkish(?) takeaway and the assorted bods kept trying to close the door shutters. Payment was attempted with a card by a bloke who turned up, but card refused, at which point out comes the roll of notes fit to choke a donkey. Dodgy card maybe or is it just me being ultra cynical?
On the bingo game, "Defendant, I'll call the police."

Thats the funny bit, the householder then lets the Police in, and the bailiffs then squeeze in past them, either as they go in, or come out.On the bingo game, "Defendant, I'll call the police."
I have no idea what the classification of Peacefull entry is, but they do usually push past the homeowner to gain it, which doesnt sound peacefull to me.
The usual trick of lying to the homeowner, and sayign that they will remove their goods, for the debt of somone who may be staying there, does grid on me a bit.

I think in all the episodes I have seen, the entry is peaceful. Once you are over the step, you are in.The usual trick of lying to the homeowner, and sayign that they will remove their goods, for the debt of somone who may be staying there, does grid on me a bit.
I don't think they are lying. Someone has given that address in a legally binding contract, the bailiffs are entitled to assume, until demonstrated otherwise that the property in the house belongs to the defendant.
Don't you think that people should pay their debts?

king rude. Would get my back up straight away. Never call yourself Mr. Give your name, and if they choose to call you Mr, then up to them. BlackLabel said:

If you don't open the door, they're screwed. They can't take all your stuff, as essential things needed by you for living are off limits. Can't take electrical stuff, as they need a safety Certificate (Cost £50) to sell it. Can't take stuff that will stop you working, that can include vehicles. And finally, they charge totally illegal fees.

I agree with all the above. However I do think Phil Mycrackin is quite good at subtly ramping up the pressure deliberately on them, when he does that good cop bad cop thing with the Saffa. He gets to a point where he deliberately starts going into their kitchen or wherever and looking about and the debtor is all like 'you can't go back there!' and he's like 'actually, I can'. They hate him then the saffa gets a result.
But all in all it must be a bit of a depressing job dealing with the dregs of society. (I await a flaming for that description).
