  • Bailiffs and vulnerable adults

    Good Morning,

    My partner recently received an enforcement notice for a littering fine from a bailiff company stating that they will be attending our home to remove goods.

    My question is that I have been diagnosed with, and receive Personal Independence Payment (enhanced care) for, Type 1 Bipolar disorder which is currently very unstable. I fear that bailiffs attending the property will push me into another severe episode. (I was hospitalised in September for a short period, and really don't want to get pushed back that far again.) My partner is my regustered carer and is also unemployed so as you can imagine money is incredibly tight. I understand that my mental illness may make me a "vulnerable adult".

    Is there anything you can advise to prevent the bailiffs attending? My sleep is already being severely affected, which, if left unchecked is likely to cause another manic episode.

    Many thanks in advance.

    The Bailiffs are after your partner so may not be concerned about you sorry to say your partner needs to try and make an arrangement to pay before they call others on LB will advise more

      If it is at Enforcement Stage then it appears that ball previous notices have been ignored and the matter has gone to Court leaving your partner with a Criminal Conviction. If so then the Warrant has the power to force entry. As it is just at the Compliance stage then the costs are just limited to £75 and it is in your partners interests to make contact to see if a repayment plan can be reached, if not then a Visit will add £235 to what is owing.

      As to your possible vulnerability then you must send proof of same to the Enforcement Co but as you are not the debtor it may go unheeded.
