Solve a bailiff problem
Section 2 of the Rights of Entry (Gas and Electricity Boards) Act 1954
You had a "Warrant of Entry" document pushed through your door. This is nothing to do with bailiffs removing goods or the enforcement of fines and debts. A utility company can apply for what is called a Warrant of Entry. It allows a utility company warrant officer access to gas and electricity services in a property on application to a magistrate to lawfully break entry. It is normally used when contact with the occupants has been unsuccessful and a utility service remains unpaid. A warrant of entry is used to either disconnect services or fit a pre-payment meter to the supply.
Section 61(2) of the Taxes Management Act 1970
HMRC may force entry to premises during the daytime. Before forcing entry the officer must have obtained a warrant from the General Commissioners of HMRC.
Regulation 19 of the Criminal Defence Service (Contribution Orders) Regulations 2009
A Capital Contribution Order (CCO) is an order to make over a lump sum payment to contribute towards the cost of your legal representation fees in criminal proceedings if you are unsuccessful in defending the prosecution. An Interest Contribution Order is an order to make over some of your income. CCO's are recovered by debt collectors often posing as "bailiffs", but the regulations do not (yet) provide for levying on goods, breaking into homes or charging you fees.
