Take a picture of the Warrant

FAKE WARRANTS ARE BEING USED BY COUNCIL TAX BAILIFFS

Enforcement agents must on request show the debtor his identity and his authority to enter the premises. Paragraph 26 of Schedule 12 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, which states;

(1)The enforcement agent must on request show the debtor and any person who appears to him to be in charge of the premises evidence of—

• (a) his identity, and
• (b) his authority to enter the premises.

Bailiffs now rely on DIGITAL warrants and are unable to present any written AUTHORITY. This is accepted by the police but leaves scope for the companies to easily forge digital warrants, a more difficult practice when a paper copy was required.

ASK TO SEE THE DIGITAL WARRANT AND TAKE A PICTURE OF IT:

A real warrant is issued under section 76(1) of the Magistrate's Courts Act 1980. The Coat of Arms is always at the top left and It will always say "Note to the Defendant"

If you are shown a forged warrant: Everything is revoked.

The moment a bailiff shows you a warrant that is a counterfeit, or looks like an amateurish effort to have thrown it together on a home computer. it revokes everything that follows as well as revoking the fees.

The use of fake warrants is commonplace for Council Tax and adding enforcement fees to official documents

The authority to enter premises is the court authority itself. A private company cannot grant itself that authority by making a document on a computer.

He failed to show you his authority to enter premises and is in breach of paragraph 26(1)(b) of Schedule 12 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement's Act 2007.

You can now bring a legal action under paragraph 66 of Schedule 12 for the return of any property taken unlawfully by the bailiff.
