Can a High Court Enforcement Agent enter my home if I am vulnerable and on my own?


Yes

But there is a caveat.

The bailiff will be unable to recover any enforcement stage fees and charges.[1]

If the bailiff has already taken money, then the debtor can apply for a detailed assessment hearing[2][3] and ask for costs.[4]

The debtor may have a right to apply to the court for the return of any goods removed.[5]

Guidelines state that bailiffs must withdraw from domestic premises if the only person present is deemed to be vulnerable.[6]
