Of course we need bailliffs and it would shake me to the core if I truly believed they were ALL bullies.

But you have to admit, we dont hear very much about what they do, not many people (especially the vulnerable) know their rights and I was very shocked to hear they could come to your door over petty matters like a speeding fine.

Surely these things should be handled sensitively in an open court room? And if a visit to a persons home is absolutely necessary shouldnt an independant official (someone whose not making money out of it) be there to amke sure everything is above board?

The way things are, untrained people, are getting cash for every door they get past. That cant be the way to encourage good bailliffs can it?
