The bailiff refused to explain his fees and charges

The law says enforcement fees and charges must be set out in the Notice of Enforcement

Do not pay a fee to a bailiff company to be given an explanation of their fees.

The statutory fee schedule is prescribed in the Tables of the Schedule in the Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014.

If you have not been given a Notice of Enforcement, you have no obligation to pay their fees and in come cases, you can reclaim them.

Bailiff companies demand payment of a fee to give a written explanation of their costs and charges under a pretence it is under the Data Protection Act

The law does not state that an explanation of fees and charges is "personal data" and does not prescribe a fee to give a written explanation of them. It is a form of fraud

Regulation 7 of the Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013 states:
