my husband and i have separated recently. earlier this evening he inforned me that an enforcement officer was coming up to my house to remove goods, tools and my husbands van. my husband is a self employed joiner and is in his first year of trading. they have also threatened him with bankruptcy. can they really take my things, we have only been married for 3 years and to be honest his financial contribution has been minimal, prior to him i was married for 15 years with three children and a houseful of possessions which were already mine. i would be grateful of a reply

Hi Lee
I had a problem similar to this when I lived at my dads temporarily a few years back, an enforcement officer came out to take my ex-brother-in-laws possesions (as he and my sister had been evicted from their house for non payment of a mortgage). They knocked the door showed me their ID and tried to waklk in, BIG mistake I pushed them back out closed and locked the door and told them to return with two things, 1 a court order and 2 the police. I even told them that it was my fathers property and they needed to contact him or get a court order as they were not coming in.
They are not by law allowed to intimidate you or force you to let you in or take YOUR belongings without a court order.
If yoy haven't already done so give Paul a call or contact your own solicitor.
Hope this isnt to late and they haven't called at your house yet |

Paul's advice is good - and as he deals with this sort of thing on a regular basis you could do not worse than to give him a call. He ought to be able to speak to the enforcement officers directly and explain your situation.
For an informal chat about any financial difficulties, or advice as to the options available, I can be contacted via my website - www.melaniegiles.com |

Hi Lee
you need to get some urgent telephone advice about your position regarding this.
yes they can take your husbands van - assuming it is not on finance, but the last thing you need is a bailiff entering your house trying to decide what is his and what is yours. They are likely to take whatever is available and argue about it later.
They should also not be able to take your husbands tools if he is a joiner and needs them for work - possibly same argument could apply to the van.
Do you know if they are real bailiffs or debt collectors posing as baliffs?
please call one of the professionals on the site to get some urgent advice.
