My LTD company is closed. Can bailiffs hold me personally liable for any of its debts?


No

The enforcement agent may only take control of the goods of the debtor named on the enforcement power.[1]

Enforcement agents can only take control of the debtor's goods where the debtor carries on its business.[2]

When the debtor company is closed, then it no longer trades and does not own any goods.

The warrant or writ of control cannot be transferred to a director of the closed company, otherwise, the creditor could be liable to a third party claim to controlled goods,[3] and attract liability for damages.[4]
