Can't wait for your I'm a celeb appearance!
In seriousness, what has the company who sent the Bailiffs said since?
Did you contact them off your own bat? :hehe:Quote:

Looks like a fair write-up, at least your story is in public domain now and you come out of it looking well reasoned in your actions.Quote:

WoL should have pushed this particular point.
Mad As A Fish - I'm concerned about you and your Mrs Mate.
Reason being is that you've said yourself how vulnerable you and your wife are and now that your ordeal is public, I worry that you might be an easy target (baseball bat at the ready, accepted!),
Although the article doesn't mention exactly where you live, it would be very easy to find your address using the information known.
Tell me to mind my own business by all means, but I would strongly suggest that you ask WoL to remove the article and go down the civil legal route instead. :thumbup:
They did explain. They said "Mike Garland, director of Excel Civil Enforcement, said: “I can confirm that two of our officers attended an address in Govilon to execute a warrant for the arrest of an individual to deliver him to court.Quote:

It wasn't their fault the court ****ed up and got the wrong address on the warrant
Bailiffs categorically have no powers of arrest whatsoever.Quote:

Not a good decision by me I agree, I felt uncomfortable doing it to be honest. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though. No worse than the old fella who saw the mugger off putting his fists up I suppose.Quote:
