Is it possible to complain about a bailiff s behaviour?
Yes, it is. Both his internal procedures and practice manual and also the National Standards for Enforcement Agents say that he must be justifiable, lawful and proportionate in his dealings. There are quite a few avenues that could be explored, but I can advise you of the best one once I know more about you and your personal situation. The best way for you to deal with a visit from a bailiff is to remember that he is just doing his job and for you to remain calm and dispassionate during proceedings. I know this will be hard, but if you start yelling or getting physical, you re not doing yourself any favours should the time come to complain about the bailiff s behaviour.
