How can I check if the bailiff fees are correct?

By visiting the Bailiffs Fees section of our Downloads area, you will see that we have provided you with a copy of the up to date scale of fees that the bailiff can legally charge when collecting arrears of Business Rates (NNDR). We have also provided details of all other Bailiff Fees to include Council Tax, Parking Charge Notices (PCN's) Congestion Charges, Magistrates Court Fines and Child Support Agency arrears etc.

How do I complain about the bailiff or the fees?

If you wish to complain about the fees that you have been charged, you should first apply for a detailed breakdown of all of the fees and charges made to you. The Bailiff Company must, by law, provide this. This request is referred to as a Subject Access Request (S.7) which is pursuant to Section 7 of the Data Protection Act 1998.

In the Letters section of our Downloads area you will see that we have provided a draft Subject Access Request that can be adapted to suit your own particular circumstances, which also requests details of the Bailiff’s Certificate.

How do I complain?

You will see on our Front Page that we have provided a section entitled: How to Complain which should answer any queries that you may have.
