Don't do it, then. Don't be a bailiff. Don't sell your soul so cheap.

Made by the BBC who employ/contract people to do the exact same thing.

Thanks for telling us that you pretend to call a lock Smith. If I’m ever in debt I’ll remember this👍🏼

Get a proper job then u helmet instead of feeding off the poor and vulnerable, I’ll be surprised if anyone watching this could care less if u starved

Firstly says that he employs scare tactics by pretending he's getting locksmiths to peoples houses and then goes on to try and make us feel sorry for him? Literally says he scares the shit out of people to take food off their table to ensure that he can put food on his. This guy is more 'Robbing Goods' than 'Robin Hood'

Says everything you need to know about their profession that they feel the need to conceal their identity.

this video confused me a lot till i googled it and found out the job is way different in the UK

This is the worst sort of person. He treats everyone else like shit, but then expects us to have sympathy for him? Not happening.

why choose to be a bailiff

It just goes to show how thick they are,looking for sympathy,just shows how intelligent he is.

I like the way the BBC is portraying bailiffs as victims. They realise this is the case, for not just bailiffs, but pretty much anyone on minimum wage or 0 hour contacts.

My heart bleeds ,you have a choice

Man idgaf stop harassing people

Some people can pay there debt and just choose not. But a lot of people generally have nothing to give the bailiff due to changes in benefits 0 hours contract having to care for someone.

And I hope your work conditions get worse

I always watch ‘can’t pay, we’ll take it away’, it’s always sad! I can’t imagine having a job like that. Many people (like he said) commit suicide because of them. I couldn’t live with myself. Imagine (in some cases) taking the food off someone’s table just to be able to feed yourself. Life really isn’t easy sometimes.

Think some of this is Bullshit!! If there is anyone who will contemplate committing suicide it will be the debtor not the bailiff. If you don’t like your job well get another one. Simple!!

Its simple, Dont acknowledge any mail from them, you can check who letter is from on your laptop. If its from bailiff/ debt collector, simply mark envelope with NO CONTRACT RETURN TO SENDER , then simply put a cross over your address, but allow it to be seen as it helps the postman, then repost with no stamp. This will cost them postage, do this for as long as it takes. Dont answer your door to them, you are not required to under law.Just leave them on the doorstep, they cant enter your home without a warrant and a warrant of entry cant be obtained for a civil action, parking etc and if you Do open your door by mistake, you are not at liberty to answer any questions, so just shut the door. Police will not get involved over civil law and its best to keep inside, because you cant trust police not to use the old chestnut of Breach of Peace, but they cant if you are not there and bear in mind, its not a criminaloffence to be in debt, no matter what these debt collectors want us to believe and it wont affect your credit rating, as you havent refused to pay, because you havent engaged with them. Just sit tight, these debt collectors will then send the debt back and another debt collector might be employed......and it will all start again.....they only have 6 years to chase you, so just sit tight. Remember, a young mother in liverpool was raped in front of her young son by a debt collector, working as a TVL Goon and the law was made to say that you dont have to engage with debt collectors at your door, so you can use this if ever you need defence. without prejudice.

A locksmith can never and has never been used for a money debt. The bailiff can never break in so just keep all doors and windows locked and ignore.

People act like they do to debt collectors because they add on money! Some people are struggling and when they offer what they can afford they say no and then they send letters saying you are refusing to pay! My poor friend was put through hell they told her so many lies so in the end she paid what she could afford a month still got letters saying she was not paying had them ringing her 4 to 5 times a say threatening to take her to court and she told them they cant take her to court as she is not refusing to pay and that she is making the payments she can afford. People comment just pay your bills but sometimes life fucks you up and things fall behind and refusing an offer of payment is not going to help at all and adding on extra fines is just ridiculous!

The reason why they are depressed because they make people depressed.

I would rather be unemployed than be a bailiff

Wait, hang on? Are you trying to tell me that bailiffs are human too?

Ahh ....bless him....I didn't know it was so hard being a bailiff....in that case I accept all your intimidation...lies...decipt....bully boy tactics...harrassment....fraud.... I didn't know you were only trying to make a life for yourself......on other people's misery...

Oh my heart bleeds for him. 😒

To stop a baliff being mistreated. Advice them to seek alternative employment. Why would anyone want to be a baliff traffic warden or tv licence goon. They need help if that's what they want to work as.

If there's anymore poor bailiffs out there wanting to top themselves I can make up a few nooses for you. You can even have them for free.

Who cares. Get a different job then. Why should anyone feel sorry for you after the misery you put other people through?

Screw that be a dealer

I had one come round yesterday missed the knock but opened the letter and took an overdose and I’m highly vulnerable with severe mental health and they couldn’t care less when I called them.

Imagine grinding this job. Can smell the 0 GCSEs from across this video

Pick a real job to do.

Its an awful job! People who make an offer to pay what they can afford get told no then get hounded by baliffs making up lies and threats then people take their own life because they can see no way out. All because the "baliff" needs more to meet targets!

I'm really on the fence about being subbed to this channel. Most of it is buzzfeed bullshit like 'things not to say to x' but some of it is interesting and thought provoking like this.

Is this a joke video? It has to be right?! If not, then this is a mockery of those who actually suffer from depression. You were not forced to work as a bailiff - you chose that job. Stating that the work makes you depressed as an excuse to terrorize normal hard working people, making their lives a living hell, losing all sense of self and purpose with the threat of never ending financial debt - while sitting there behind a mask claiming like you didn't have choice of a better job is absolute madness and beyond insulting. You should be ashamed of yourself and more so of those who you work for. If I chose to work at a sewage plant and then went on KZfaq claiming that the job makes me depressed and I'm covered in shit all the time - whose fault is that?! What a joke.

The solution is simple as you are (get a different job)

02:30 I hope he paid his fine, you can’t park in a lake dumb bailiff

wait are they trying to get sympathy? they are choosing to do that job. they are choosing to work at a commison based job (i am assuming ill admit). if there is so much pressure and you are so worried about getting hurt you need to hide your identity probably time to find a better job.

I'm amazed that the BBC, who hire goons to collect TV licence fees from old people, have actually aired this. This is an attempt to feel sorry for those who pray on the vulnerable.

"I have to put money down to do my job" So you put yourself in that situation? Nice.

I dunno how anyone could do this job!! I’d rather work at maccies!! Never would I become a bailiff

what it my house is empty before they come ? will they take my cats and children ?

Not a viable job then is it...? And when we say "Bailiff" ... What is he referring to? I'm guessing he is an uncertificated debt collector.

Overstating your authority in any way is harassment and intimidation and a criminal offence. If your permitted to use the services of a locksmith then say so BUT if your not then you are not allowed to threaten such use

Stuff a baliffs depression, you break up family's.

I may be asking a completely stupid question here.. but if being a bailiff is so hard and difficult, why the fuck aren’t they getting another job?! Most jobs you can train on the job now. Why put yourself through this shit?

Boo boo, poor debt collectors.

Why don't you show your face

The trick is to not engage, and not let them in. If you are expecting a visit from them, or are caught off guard, put your most valuable possessions in your children's room (they cannot remove children's property) They will see that you do not have enough collateral and leave with their tails between their legs. Ignore the emotional manipulation and close the door behind ya. Good luck!

I was soooo confused for a minute.

What the hell is this guy whining about? I and loads of people I meet have to make several grand a year before making any money! We don't get holiday pay, we don't get sick pay, if we're ill. we still have to pay money, but that's life for many people nowadays, stop whinging about it. We do it by providng a service that people want and are happy about, rather than stealing off those already too poor to pay (yes, there are a *few* people who could pay debts, that don't, but, with our economy going right down the tubes, that's increasingly not the case). Let's stick these bailiffs in fMRI scanners and see if empathy is something they are capable of, or whether they're untermensch who should just be eradicated.

this is nonsense. there isn't any 0 hour contracts in the bailiff industry.

& the BBC who made this program, pays over £60 million to TV Licensing. So that they can send goons to the homes of those without a licence. These goons behave as bad if not worse than bailiffs & debt collectors. & just like bailiffs & debt collectors they issue streams of threatening letters. Many people don't realise that they don't need a licence if they don't watch live tv.

Is this Joel from Hollyoaks??

I’ll never feel sorry for a bailiff

And that is why I strive to remain debt free. Focusing on building your net worth through diligent saving and investing always trumps building credit. The former indicates your actual financial position, while the latter facilitates borrowing, which could put you in a circumstance where you must start interacting with these people.

The law needs to get tougher on debtors for non compliance in the early recovery stages. The pre-action protocol is a step in the right direction, yet still missing the point that lawful force eg: court orders, are required in 90% of debt cases due to debtors trying to avoid payment. Many businesses go bust because their owed thousands and the law is too soft on debtors. Oh and HCEO always call locksmiths to gain entry - every time, as they are under contract to the client to get a result, if and when it goes back to County Court for non compliance and refusal to obey a Court Order.

Find another job then lol

So what is bailiff???

The locksmith call was pre 2014 new legislation. Locksmiths give 48 hours notice now

Happy days

The video is a bit on the nose. The melancholy music in the background etc

Violin.

What is a debt collector ?

Ahh poor guy, this sounds horrible. If I was him I would try something else.

I feel sorry for these awful people

No sympathies there get a proper job with a decent contract, sick pay holiday pay earn a decent wage.Also you don't just develop Manic Depression. You inherit it as I'm Bi Polar same name as MD MY cousin had it and took her life.I have self harmed and attempted suicide on numerous occasions

People have no idea how difficult this job is. I accept that there are many reasons why people get into debt but at the same time, the lies, aggression and excuses that people come up with to avoid paying a debt when they know they owe the money has to also be taken into consideration . I don't agree with the way many bailiffs conduct themselves on house calls etc but it is understandable that there is a lot of pressure because the income for these types of jobs is based on how much debt you can recover. It's not as simple as 'don't do it then' because someone has to and it's a job that might be suitable for some people. Sales people can be terrible liars and exaggerators just to get you to buy a product that you don't really want or need. I know it's completely different but there are bad people in most lines of work. Obviously bailiffs are dealing with people's lives and need to be sensitive to this. At the same time, they need an income to survive themselves. I can see both sides here.

what is a bailiff? xxx

My apologies but I can't feel sympathy for people who do not cooperate with a person who has a debt. (don't need to do this work if you do not make enough money, for example, in the logistics sector you can earn a decent income ) I had several debts and always managed to set up a reasonable payment plan with the “biggest” debt collector agencies. The problem is with the small “no-name” companies. They do not care about you at all and just want the money as soon as possible no matter how. Most people want to pay their debts but with a bit more empathy and understanding of their circumstances. If the person only can afford 20£ a month they should accept that and not push them to pay everything in two months. Loads of small amounts from many people are better than constant harassment and don't get anything in the end. This sector should be more regulated and kick out the small collector agencies.

It pays good, that’s why people do it

Plenty of jobs out there that earn good money without having to put fear into others. You think you are good but you are nothing more than bullies.

The system fucked!

you also have a choice, choice to become unemployed and live on benefits. i think its way better then having to make 3-5000 before making any money.

If his working conditions are that bad then leave. I can tell you now a real enforcement agent is professional, polite empathetic and understanding. There may be bad elements in the industry but people seem to forget the wider details as to why the services of an enforcement agency have to be employed. Generally people that have an issue with enforcement agents tend to be the stereotypical people that have an issue with authority across the board and will deflect their responsibility to make it anyone’s fault part for their own. If you watch all the videos on KZfaq titled things like ‘bailiff gets owned’ or ‘how to get rid of bailiffs in minutes’ etc the bad attitude, aggression and all round poor behaviour comes from the debtor. It’s sad that these people spend more time trying to workout how not to pay for the debts they’ve accumulated rather than deal with the problem. With better communication from both sides these situations can be dealt with civilly.

Are we to feel sorry for debt collectors? lol If it's so bad do something else. These companies are set up to exploit people who don't realise when you take out credit you brought the money into existence with your signature. You don't need to pay these debts as it never was a debt, and if it was they would have been paid already when the company bought the debt. They never have proof of claim and can't do anything without your name and consent. These companies should exist and if you decide to work for them extorting money from the poor you deserve all that comes to you.

🎻

Easy solution really, don't do the ferkin job in the 1st place

Bailiffs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂…………😂😂👌👌😂😂😂😂😂👌😂

My heart bleeds get a better job one that helps people would be better or don't and wait until the bastads come to your house ✌️🇬🇧

So your better off on welfare , why do the government, CEOs dirty jobs for? What's the point. We're do what we are told - how about grow up.

In that case get a proper job

So funny all the people saying bailiffs shouldn't exist. They wouldn't be saying that if they got rid of bailiffs and you couldnt get a mortgage for less than 50% interest as banks try and offest risk. So stupid just pay your debts and you dont have to worry about bailiffs.

Imagine making 50 pounds and then not know what you're getting tomorrow

Things not to say to white men

First

Boohoo

Cry me a river

Well somebody got to do it. You dont pay your debt, somebody got to come to you and make you pay

Pay up then bailiffs won’t come round

Lol. We have an excellent system for Bailiffs in this country.....pay your bills first, no matter what your situation. How let's get Bailiffs back to work so they can get the debt and get our economy moving. No excuses!
