Bailiff Reform
The Government has recently launched a public consultation which sets out how it plans to provide more protection against aggressive bailiffs and encourage more flexibility in bailiff collections. It seeks to set out how ethical activity should be enshrined in law so bailiffs can continue to enforce the payment of debts and fines.
The BPA is seeking to respond to this consultation on behalf of our members and we would value your input. The consultation document can be found here with full details provided online
Please send your responses to Abdul Traore by Friday March 30th
We also encourage you to respond independently. You can do so by email or by post - details are provided online
