Jacobs
I have a letting agent friend who has started to get notices from Jacobs Enforcement Agents. He has provided evidence of non residence of the debtor and yet his mails go unanswered and the debtor continues to get mail to the address. The new tenants are terrified that the bailiffs will come knocking to a elderly couple with health issues. What can the Letting Agents do beyond sending evidence?
Re: Jacobs
Nothing. Its the bailiff that has the problem, the tenant has nothing to worry about. Just ask the bailiffs to quietly leave the property.

If the name of the creditor is on the notice just contact them. Jacobs will just ignore you.

Re: Jacobs
If you are a tenant have a copy of your agreement and Council tax bill handy at the door.
The EA may clamp your car or try to enter your property, keep doors locked and secure especially now the weather is improving.
If the EA has already left a notice of enforcement then you can contact the creditor and notify them that the debtor does not live at the premises.
Although you are not the named debtor you may still get some forcefulness from the EA. Stand firm provide your ID and show your proofs. Or make copies and hand them to the EA.
It all depends if the notice of enforcement has been completed correctly and names the creditor.
You should not dispose of this notice as it's not yours but it can come in handy at a later date.

Hi
Jacobs decided to write to the debtor abroad. Gave the debtor a IBAN transfer bank account number. They never contacted the new tenant even after he wrote many times.

Re: Jacobs
Ive never known a bailiff company to write to a debtor at an overseas address.
The use of IBAN is obsolete and expensive. Online services such as Transferwise and Remitly can wire money abroad quickly and cheaply without intermediary banks deducting fees from the wired load along the route to the destination bank account.
Anyone abroad getting a Jacobs letter with a demand and an IBAN would file it where it belongs. Unlike the UK, not every country in the world has a statutory postal system, so delivery is less than guaranteed. My annual council tax bill (here its called a "Property Service Fee") is £65 a year, and it can be paid monthly, but the demand is hand delivered, or taped to my front gate (no letterboxes here). Sending an IBAN demand is beyond wishful thinking, and in any case, Jacobs cannot charge fees because that requires Schedule 12 compliance.
