When a bailiff gives you a Notice of Enforcement, then under regulation 9 of the Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013, this notice remains valid for 12 months from the Date of Issue stated on it. After this period, bailiffs are no longer authorised to take control of your goods or accept a money transfer.

Once the 12 months have elapsed, enforcement power expires as stipulated by paragraph 6(3) of Schedule 12 of the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.

However, the bailiff can issue a new Notice of Enforcement with a fresh date, thereby resetting the 12 months, but this is very rarely seen.

This declaration should clearly state that you are not connected with the debtor and that all items present at your premises are not the debtor's possessions. Such a declaration is crucial in ensuring that bailiffs or enforcement agents understand your position and the ownership of the goods in question.

The Statutory Declaration effectively removes your address from the enforcement jurisdiction that the bailiffs are attempting to act upon. By submitting this declaration, you clearly establish that your property is not subject to the enforcement actions pursued by the bailiffs or enforcement agents.
