If the bailiff company does not appear on the bailiff register. What are my rights?


None

The Ministry of Justice maintains the public register of Certificated Enforcement Agents, which you can access and search.[1]

The search results give the bailiffs date was given his certificate together with the name of the company that he works for.

The bailiff company lodges a bond of £10,000 with the court as a security for the bailiff to collect debts and hold public money on the Courts behalf.[2]

If the bailiff appears in the register without a company name, then the bailiff has lodged his money to lodge with the court to get his enforcement certificate, or taken out a policy where an insurer acts as guarantor if a claim is made against the bailiff.

The bond is a statutory requirement and the court may award a payment from the £10,000 bond if a party makes a formal complaint about the bailiff.[3][4][5]
