I want to see government change the regulations regarding private bailiffs

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Up until now private bailiffs have been working on behalf of the HM Courts, however not following regulations and law as it’s known.

I want to see government change the regulations regarding how private bailiff companies can operate. I believe any bailiff acting on or for the courts should work directly for the HM Courts Service and not passed onto private bailiff firms who operate using harassment and threatening behaviours that clearly breaks rules and regulations and private firms are clearly ignoring legally issued notices.
