Can bailiffs discuss my details with neighbours?


No

If bailiffs go round your neighbourhood telling your neighbours or housemates that you have an unpaid, debt, this may be in breach of data protection regulations,[1] and contrary to the statutory level of security appropriate to the risks arising from the processing of personal data,[2][3]

If a bailiff has leaked your personal data to a neighbour, then you can report a concern online with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO),[4] or you can bring a claim for your material and non-material damages.[5][6]
