How to Deal With Dukes Bailiffs
Whether you have received a County Court Judgement (CCJ) from Dukes, or just want to get some debt advice, the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is available to help you. It can help you draft a contract and deal with any debt problems you may have. In the past year, complaints against Dukes have increased by more than two hundred percent, with 830 cases filed in the first three months of the year.
There are three stages in the process of recovering your debt. During the first stage, you will be asked to pay a fee. This is known as the compliance stage. You will also be charged a fee when Dukes issues a Notice of Enforcement. The fee will cover the costs of advertising and auctioneer’s fees.
If you do not respond to the Notice of Enforcement, the Dukes bailiff can then visit your home. They can also remove items from your home. This can include items such as furniture and household items. Dukes can also take items from outside your home. They can enter your home through a door or window. However, they cannot enter your home on Good Friday or Sundays. They can also visit more than one time during the enforcement stage.
If you are unable to pay your debts, you may be faced with a court order from Dukes Bailiffs. If you fail to respond to the court order, Dukes can then take you to court. They can also issue you with a County Court Judgement (CCJ). Dukes may also contact you in order to inform you of any other fees you have to pay.
Dukes also provide an online complaint form, which you can fill out and send to them. This helps you to keep track of the progress of your case. Dukes also offer you the opportunity to make a payment plan. You can negotiate a repayment scheme with the bailiff, which will be affordable for you.
Dukes can also collect debts from business premises, such as restaurants and pubs. They also recover parking charge notices and unpaid business rates. They can also help businesses to evict travellers.
If you feel intimidated by the debt collectors, you can report them to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). You can also contact the OFT. They can revoke the authorization of any debt collectors that are not acting properly. Dukes Bailiffs can be a tough debt collection agent. In some cases, this can cause mental health problems for debtors. Often, the harassment and intimidation can be so overwhelming that debtors feel trapped.
Once you pay your debt, you can stop further action. However, you may be charged for disbursement costs. This is a fee that will cover costs of auctioneer’s fees, locksmith’s fees and advertising. You can also cancel a repayment plan if you cannot make the agreed payments. The disbursement fee also covers costs of storage after the bailiff has removed your goods.
If you are having trouble paying your debts, you may be faced with the prospect of bankruptcy. However, you can work out a repayment plan with Dukes and stop the harassment.
