Bailiffs Came To Your Property Less Than 11 Days After Giving The Notice Of Enforcement (NOE).

Before taking control of goods, bailiffs must wait at least seven clear business days (excluding Sundays and public holidays), plus postal delivery time. Otherwise you may apply for the return of the goods.

Civil Procedure Rule 6.3(b) states that first class post is delivered on the next business day.

If the Notice of Enforcement bears an incorrect address, it's a clear indication that the bailiff did not properly serve you with the notice. This is a crucial detail to be aware of, as it can significantly impact the validity of the enforcement action.

If the bailiff removed goods or took money, including fees, in breach of this rule. In that case, you may recover them using evidence such as a copy of the Notice of Enforcement, the envelope it was sent in (if available), and evidence of the date the bailiff removed goods or took a money transfer. This can include a receipt of the transaction, a witness statement, or a bank statement showing the withdrawal.
