Can anybody tell me what is likely to happen now?

I have a bailiff demanding money which I can’t afford to pay, he won’t accept any sort of payment plan.

What I want to know is what will happen next. There’s nothing of any real value in the property.

Contact Citizen's Advice. The debt collectors may be obliged to accept a payment plan in the first instance.

Or this organisation. capuk.org You might get a swifter response than through CAB.

Thanks: CAB weren’t very helpful to be honest. They just advised me to keep my doors locked but ultimately the locks will be changed. Thanks owl, I’ll take a look.

What is the debt for?
How much is due?
Have you let the bailiff in and has he done a levy of goods and if so do you have a copy?
If the bailiff has not been inside the property to not engage with him.
Do you have any vulnerabilities do you have children under 5, pregnant, mental health issues, lone parent?

Iis the debt secured or unsecured. Did it go to court?

parking ticket. Bailiff hasn’t been in property.

Look on the Facebook group Beat the Bailiffs there are lots of really knowledgeable people on there who will help. As far as I can remember if you don't let them in and don't sign anything they will eventually go away and you can arrange a payment plan with the original people the debt is with. The bailiffs will lie and try to trick you though as otherwise they don't get paid. Also if you have a car park it away from your house on private land so they can't clamp it, and if you have any vulnerabilities you can contact the court if it's been to court to have them taken into account.

Remember though bailiffs really have very little powers and they lie frequently. Unless the debt is criminal and they are high court bailiffs they can't force entry (they might tell you they can but they can't). Good luck!

Thank you
