Regulatory Framework For Bailiffs (EDM2868)

Regulatory Framework For Bailiffs

EDM number 2868 in 2005-06, proposed by Edward O'Hara on 26/10/2006.

That this House notes that in 2005-06 the Citizens Advice Bureau service received over 1.4 million debt-related enquiries; further notes that for many years Citizens Advice Bureaux have reported a wide range of problems experienced by clients as a result of bailiff action, including bailiffs misrepresenting their powers, making false threats of imprisonment, overcharging fees, removing or threatening to remove protected and third party goods, refusing reasonable offers of repayment, harassing and intimidating clients and failing to exercise discretion in vulnerable situations; welcomes the Government's proposals in the recently published Draft Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill to introduce a single procedure for taking control of goods; is concerned however about the decision not to include proposals for the regulation of bailiffs in the Bill; and urges the Government to include such a regulatory framework for bailiffs in the Bill.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
