An end to dodgy bailiffs
The government moved this week to protect people from dodgy bailiffs in England and Wales.
The Ministry of Justice announced new measures that will mean there is more training for bailiffs, including qualifications, and a powerful new regulator to ensure an end to cowboy practices.
The justice minister Maria Eagle said:
"People have a right to recover their debts, but no-one should have the right to threaten, bully or intimidate people just to collect cash they are owed.
"These rules will raise the level of professionalism among bailiffs by ensuring they are trained and know their legal limits. It will also ensure the public is protected by a properly regulated sector.â?
