FAQs

Q: What can bailiffs legally take from my home?

A: Bailiffs cannot take anything they want. They have strict legal limitations on what can be seized, including essential household items, tools needed for work, and items belonging to other people. Understanding these rights helps you handle enforcement visits with confidence.

Q: Can bailiffs break into my home at any time?

A: No, this is one of the biggest myths about enforcement. Bailiffs have specific rules about when and how they can enter premises. They cannot break in during their first visit and must follow proper legal procedures for peaceful entry.

Q: What is Shergroup’s “No Collect, No Fee” service?

A: Shergroup’s No Collect, No Fee business debt collection service means you only pay when we successfully recover your money. This reduces outstanding invoices and improves cash flow with no upfront costs or financial risk.

Q: How can I remove a CCJ from my credit report?

A: A County Court Judgment can be removed from your credit report through specific legal processes. This typically involves either paying the debt in full within one month or successfully applying to have the judgment set aside through proper legal channels.
