  • The locks have been changed on my property

    Please click HERE


    If we have changed the locks on your property, it is likely that we have been instructed by your landlord.


    It is essential that you do not try to gain entry without speaking to us first as we may have installed surveillance equipment and you may be committing a criminal offence if you try.

    Please contact us straight away at contact@ukbailiffs.co.uk so we can give you more details.


    If we have attached a TORTS notice, this is because your landlord has asked us to list items in the property.


    This is for YOUR protection.  The items can not be immediately disposed of without first giving you a reasonable time to collect them. Please contact us and arrange collection.

  • Can I Ignore Bailiffs

    Don't ignore the letter - If you do  bailiffs can visit your address after 7 days. As well as collecting payment for the debt they can charge you fees and remove goods - so you could end up owing more money.
