A bailiff can be sent by the court as a last resort to seize a debtor´s possessions.

Bailiffs cannot break into your home. However they can gain entry by peaceful means. They can climb over a gate or fence, as well as an open window or unlocked door.

Bailiffs can take any possessions belonging to a debtor in order to recover a debt. However bailiffs cannot take everyday items that are necessary for everyday basic living such as clothing or any equipment, tools, vehicles or books required to run a business.
