We have become aware of scammers again phoning members of the public, posing as County Court bailiffs, High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) and Certificated Enforcement Agents (CEAs).

In a number of cases they are claiming to be a bailiff at Northampton County Court.

They are targeting people with a County Court judgment for debt.

During the calls, the fraudsters claim that the person owes money, and demands that they transfer funds into a bank account.

We may contact you by phone to discuss a warrant of control and may offer to take debit or credit card payments over the phone or ask you to make a bank transfer. 

.

However, we will never:

• telephone you to ask for your bank details
• telephone you to ask you for your sort code and account number.
• ask for a password

If anyone claiming to be from UK Bailiff Services asks you for this information you should not make any payment and not provide your bank details.

You should end the call and contact: 0330 133 1818 or email help@ukbailiffs.org

We will advise you if the call was genuine.

If you believe you have been a victim of this scam you should report the matter to:

Action Fraud online or call 0300 123 2040.
