Have you received a letter from a Sheriff saying they are about to visit your house?
Do you need advice & help on how deal with Enforcement Action?
Are they chasing you for Council Tax, Business Rates or Benefit Overpayments?
Don't panic, Below you'll find out everything there is to know about how to deal with Sheriffs.
What to do if a Sheriff is at your house, and how to stop a Sheriff taking your car.
Sheriffs collect and serve writs and summons issued by the Courts.
They act with the authority of the Court, so if you prevent them from doing their job, you could be found in contempt of court. This is a serious offence and can be punished by either a fine, or in the worst cases, a prison sentence.
Sheriffs often specialise in the collection of Council tax debt, penalty charge notices and business rates.
