Bailiff turned up less than 11 days from the Notice
Bailiffs must wait at least 7 clear days not including Sundays and public holidays, plus the time of first class postage, before then can take control of goods.
Looking at the Date notice issued near the top of the document, the period starts from the following day
The law states that first class post is delivered on the next business day
If the Date of Issue on the Notice of Enforcement, is gives a time of 23:59, then add one extra day because Royal Mail post offices close at 5.30pm and main sorting offices close at 7.30pm
The Law:
Civil Procedure Rule 6.26 states:
1. First class post (or other service which provides for delivery on the next business day)
Deemed date of service
The second day after it was posted, left with, delivered to or collected by the relevant service provider provided that day is a business day; or if not, the next business day after that day
Civil Procedure Rule 6.3(1)(b) states:
(b) first class post, document exchange or other service which provides for delivery on the next business day, in accordance with Practice Direction 6A;
Civil Procure Rule 6.2(b) states:
Keep the envelope the Notice of Enforcement came in.
If it was made by 2nd class post, then delivery is on the 4th business day.
When the Notice of Enforcement is given post, and its deemed date of service has passed, the law gives a further 7 clear days before the bailiff can attend.
The Law:
Regulation 6 of Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013 states:
(1) Subject to paragraph (3), notice of enforcement must be given to the debtor not less than 7 clear days before the enforcement agent takes control of the debtor’s goods.
(2) Where the period referred to in paragraph (1) includes a Sunday, bank holiday, Good Friday or Christmas Day that day does not count in calculating the period.
(3) The court may order that a specified shorter period of notice may be given to the debtor.
(4) The court may only make an order under paragraph (3) where it is satisfied that, if the order is not made, it is likely that goods of the debtor will be moved to premises other than relevant premises, or otherwise disposed of, in order to avoid the goods being taken control of by the enforcement agent.
If bailiffs fees and goods have been taken following a breach of this regulation, then you can start claim using the above-mentioned legislation and supported by evidence including a copy of the Notice of Enforcement, and if applicable, the envelope the Notice was posted, and evidence of the date the bailiff took control of goods, or took a sum of money under the pain of taking control of goods.
