Bailiffs are to be given new powers that will enable them to break into your home. Changes in the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Bill, mean that bailiffs will be able to break into your home to recover property against alleged debts, currently they are only allowed into property if invited in, The new legislation will mean that parking ticket offenders can be jailed for up to a year for trying to prevent them. David Harker of the Citizens Advice said,"Bailiffs have an appaling record of abusing their powers against the vulnerable."
