The bailiff announced that a recovery truck was now on its way. As Sharon did not have the means to pay she was content to allow her car, which was worth about £500, to be seized and she therefore began to remove personal items from her car and take them into the house. The bailiff explained that the debt Sharon owed was about £400. Shortly afterwards Sharon’s auntie and male cousin arrived at the house and Sharon saw them talking to the bailiff and went outside to join them. In a state of distress, Sharon phoned her auntie for advice. She did also offer him an old TV and computer but he said he wasn’t interested in taking these things. ![]() However, Sharon’s car was parked up outside the house and so the bailiff clamped it. Sharon refused to allow the bailiff to enter her house – and was entirely within her rights to do so, as the debt which the bailiff was seeking to enforce did not give him a power to force entry to the house against the occupant’s wishes. She had resorted to having to borrow money from friends and family and it was a very difficult and stressful time for her. The sad background to her financial distress was that a business venture which she had entered into with her sister to open an Afro-Caribbean restaurant the year before had not succeeded, and Sharon had fallen into arrears with her mortgage and council tax. Sharon initially panicked, as she had no means to pay and denied who she was. Sharon was at home alone in her house in Nottingham when she received a visit from a bailiff (High Court Enforcement Officer) who stated that he had come to collect a debt relating to a Penalty Notice. The incident in question occurred on 24 April 2017. “ Come On In And Help Yourself To Whatever” It is a story about the power of perseverance. ![]() In the end however, justice was done through the terms of a highly significant financial settlement which I secured on Sharon’s behalf from the Police, as I will recount in this week’s blog. Sadly, as Sharon was to learn, trauma caused by a Police abuse of power is not confined to a single day and for many years afterwards, Sharon was forced to suffer further reminders of the event, and added insult to injury, as the Officer involved in this incident went through an apparently never-ending series of Misconduct Hearings and eventually escaped with his career intact. This is the story of my client Sharon who was subjected to a terrifying abuse of power when a Nottinghamshire Police Officer took up the side of a Bailiff in a minor dispute and through his aggression and arrogance escalated the event into what was, frankly, a home invasion. ![]()
