My CCJ has now, after 4 1/2 years, been elevated to the high court and those chaps at Burlington.
I moved last year, but the new owner told my old neighbour, who in turn messaged me to say that just before Christmas, the boys had been round.
So here are my questions, which I hope someone will be able to assist me with:
I am currently working and staying abroad. I have a flat that is rented out in the UK. Will they harass my tenants? They are in their 70s and have been there for a while and are all legit with tenancy agreement, council tax etc. The flat is let unfurnished, so none of my stuff is there. It has little or no equity.
I have a UK limited company of which I am a director. The CCJ was against me personally over a non connected issue. Will my staff have any hassle from the Burlington Boys?
Many thanks

Re: A question about Burlington
If you are working outside the UK, the bailiff cannot enforce the writ. The law says you must be given notice, and in any event the enforcement address on the writ is your old address.
If the tenants are pestered then they call police on 999 reporting a disturbance and keep the door shut and show the police their ID. They will escort the bailiffs to the edge of the property.
If the Ltd company is not the debtor then the bailiff company cannot enforce against it. The Ltd company would have a claim against the creditor and bailiff company jointly in a cause of action brought under sections 3 and 4 of the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977. It's not worth the risk. If staff are pestered, again they call police on 999 reporting a disturbance and when the police arrive they show paperwork.
