We'll take it away season one episode three Let's get into it man Plans from tenants struggling with rent arrears increased by 13% in the last 12 months More than any other debt type Many feel they won't be able to keep a roof over their heads according to a new report Consumer debt has more than trebled Since 1993 reaching 158 billion and 2000 tripled. Did that mean tripled? I Don't know. Yeah, I'll be having words. It's the English language, but I don't pull Bo Hill and Steve Pinner our high court enforcement officers Commonly known as sheriffs. They spend their time chasing debts from those who can't pay It's supposed to be infighted in not breaking. We have a warrant that allows us to break in and those who won't pay If you don't tell us we've asked this would have all been totally unnecessary Working under the authority of the high court. They are the officers people turn to when all other avenues have failed They have the power to seize your possessions to cover your debts That exists. I Know exactly who they are every day. I keep telling people we meter in denial payments don't be a problem Most of the people that we meter in denial denial on two fronts one is that the debt exists and the second and critical point is They don't think he will have gone this far Paul and Steve are on their way to West London Their work means meeting people in crisis and facing emotionally challenging cases as they enforce the law Today's job is one of them. It's a tough job, man Um, but somebody got to do it, you know, it's one of those jobs where you know tough job or somebody got to do it Sweetie, okay, you can have a sweetie. I can have a sweetie. I've got a moment to chew you They have a high court order to evict a couple who have become sitting tenants. How far is it? Are we there yet? No, we're not there yet The tenants lease has run out They haven't paid their rent in five months and they've ignored all letters and court orders telling them to leave The two-bedroom flat is in a nice area in Chiswick. The owner son is waiting for them outside the property He wants to witness the eviction If the landlord is there, that's all D. Why do you like you just I want to witness the eviction That's my piss of buttons. Let's add an insult to injury He's you're a target. He makes it contentious. We're actually once removed from that Yeah, so they can batter on about you to us. Okay, and it goes over there. Yeah, so that's only for the first five minutes Okay The landlords are a retired couple who rely on the rental income They are owed over 10,000 pounds The flat is actually held by my parents who are retired and Sadly, that's meant that all their pension for the last four or five months has gone on paying the mortgage on this flat They've worked all their life So the last few months they haven't had the money to spend on on living that they would have had otherwise So it's it's been very bad news in that respect. I would have stood outside to knock out Y'all playing with my mom and dad At that point the block down that ends while the tenants effectively stay there rent free into my mind squatters The owner son has also been told that the property is now not in a good condition There have been complaints about bad smells from the neighbors Paul and Steve's powers mean they can force their way in and make the tenants homeless immediately Hello We have a right here to repossess the property. We'd rather you open the door And save the damage of us breaking in How long has this been going on? Okay, was it there? Obviously not the warrants that we carry are quite powerful So in other words if people want to talk through the letter box We allow that to happen until we get bored and then we'll just break the door down We'll do our best Property sir, would you like to open the door so we can talk about it? Please read it fully People become face-to-face with a death situation when the High Court enforcement officer knocks on the door Until that time they can just dismiss it. They can shred the letters ignore the telephone calls or Pretend that it doesn't exist And I'm almost positive this still happens right like this didn't stop just because the show stopped like none of that High force high court enforcement debt, whatever officers they still knocking at that door Especially in times like this with inflation is tough Well, the best thing for you to do is if you open the door We can actually talk to you instead of trying to do this through the door and we can work away around the system if you feel that You feel that it's not correct and you'd like to call the police Feel free to do so either way sir. We can enter the property with or without your permission But we'd rather do it with your permission Will you open the door sir? When somebody does this to the property that's not theirs Well, never mind. I would even if I was paying rent I would still do this This is kind of crazy to have on your door People just walk by and see your whole meat hanging out possibly like Like, you know Thank you very much you understand the position of the red Not really, right what happens is what it says it says that you know I went I went to the landlord has taken you to court. It's now gone through the high courts and Now today we've come to issue this and repossess the property Well, we've nowhere to go But this has been going on for some time I mean, this isn't the first you've heard of it today is it? No, we've been trying to get fine somewhere But where the council re has you? They try to do it. They try to do so but instead we're not high priority Well, you are now. Yeah, today you are a high priority because you're now homeless Yeah He tried to say that as nicely as possible, but it was not that nice You've got a total care in the community issue here You know, there's no disease on all the doors saying please close the door quietly keep this door locked at all times Which off do this do that and the bloke is obviously Not a hundred percent So we've suggested that you ring the council to get the system rolling and Then we'll we'll deal with it The tenants vulnerable condition is a real surprise to everyone Paul and Steve now face a dilemma They are worried about the tenants who currently have nowhere to go But they also have to carry out the eviction as commanded by the court order They have to make a decision No decision Got to do what you came for right ain't no decision Hey official figures reveal that there were 300,000 mortgages in arrears and almost 34,000 homes Re-possessed in 2012 this marks a 60% increase since 2006 60% is crazy rent areas are becoming fastest growing debt problem in the UK Today Paul I want to know these numbers now Anybody can copy and paste or find the numbers of what's happening now Steve are in Chiswick, West London on an emotionally challenging case Hello, they have a rick to a victor couple who owe 10,000 pounds in rent their lease has run out They haven't paid their rent in five months. We've come to repossess the property So and they have ignored all letters and court orders telling them to leave Two thousand a month is will you open the way? But they are clearly vulnerable. Thank you very much You've got a total care in the community issue here So we've suggested that you ring the council to get the suit the system rolling and then we'll deal with it Paul and Steve are legally compelled to carry out the writ. You can't stay in the flat anymore Okay tonight, yeah, where do we go? Well, that's why we're trying to get get you to get in touch with the council to give you at least temporary accommodation Well, how can we get our things together to get up? Well, can we okay? We have time? Mathematic yes. Yes, I understand anything we can do unfortunately Well, just just listen to me a second. Well, no, it's okay. No, they're just just relax What we can do is you get enough stuff together two or three days I don't know With the tenants about to be homeless Paul asked the landlord in his solicitor to ring the local council as quickly as possible We'll allow them to take enough kick with them today for 48 hours You know, whatever. Yeah, so the council can sort them out or not as the case may be and then We'll arrange collectively you come back let them back in yeah to actually arrange for the removal of the good If they try to break back in there, it's a criminal offense and they can be arrested in my view It's a casual responsibility if they're in need of care and they from our opinion so far They obviously are these people should be prioritized, but it won't kick up on the priority list Until the bail is there and evicting them While the tenants face an uncertain future the owner's son This is kind of crazy little case right here This is only the third episode we ended this but like like disabled as matter At what point though did you realize that you weren't about to be able to pay this home? Like so the ball should have been rolling. You know I'm saying Is more worried about the state of his parents flat It smells of fish If you've been in the lounge yet That's Almost two hours later the council has found them temporary accommodation But the tenants are still in the flat The owner son and his solicitor are beginning to lose patience I Been told now that I have to put draw this to an end because everything's taken so long It's six o'clock now we need to get your stuff together ready to come out the door Oh, you can always go sit in McDonald's it's quite warm That council has came out of temporary housing though, so why don't you just go to the temporary housing? I'm lost Bro, so you can't really just sit in a cold like well we're gonna make dollars that that was brutal They make him know it's him down You've been very helpful what you need to do is you need to get your suitcase or where they're gonna take your clothes Suitcases There are no suitcases they didn't have time to pack suitcases. Yeah, that's everything now Okay, that's us done Thanks very much. I'm sorry for the delay and the amount of time it took The tents have a roof over their heads tonight, but their home is gone The owner son is eager to see what's happened to his parents flat It's like going something in there for months. I really don't know what's get a mask on buddy I'm gonna be faced with this flat when they took it on was pristine Great, so this is what we're left with They clearly got something else going on there hoarders as well. This is hoarding Well Give up, don't you? What hole it is now? It was really clear that the people had a huge problem They were just like absolute hoarders. Yeah, and the flat was five feet deep in Waste paper rubbish and collected items It's a brand new sofa somewhere under that lot The renter is is probably around about 10 grand Then you've got legal fees. So that's probably about another three and a half thousands and then sadly because they have left the place in such a bad state adds up to over double the arrears So there's another 20 odd thousand pounds Cut it out, bro Now you're bugging. It was not 10 bands to fix this up paint clean paint New carpet now trying to fully furnish it for the next people that move in doubt it Not gonna make that mistake twice Oh Think this was state agents would describe as in needs of tender loving care And in the bedroom, which was the most shocking of all there were two beds But there was cardboard box constructions on the bed and for whatever reason they actually slept inside the cardboard boxes So it was really sad Well, at least we got it back. Yeah, the council needs to sort them out and I get them Some kind of help up here or something If the last job was challenging their next job is going to be no easier but for very different reasons Today Paul and Steve are on their way to Romford for a debt of over 3,000 pounds Their high court powers mean that if the debtor can't pay They have the authority to seize any possessions and sell them to cover the debt Yeah, hear me The man named on the writ works as a taxi driver If he can't pay the 3,000 pounds they could take his car away Hi there, sorry to wake you up. Mr. Eliza That's taking you to court And yeah, I have no idea what for I don't get that information All I know is that there is a warrant outstanding and the amount is 3,253 pound and 4p Plus a 440 is not me. They made a mistake. He's not me. They did send to the court also. That's not me There's a different person Who is it? It's just my brother. No, I'm not responsible for my brother You should go and get them. Not me. You're sheriff. I'm a sheriff. Yeah, I'm a sheriff Well, not this if you need the ID or you bring your ID, okay, but yeah, but not you see Mr. Alizadar claims that the debt is his brother's But the writ is made out in his name. I Didn't pay that rent for that house which is It wasn't me. It's a different person if he's my brother. So where is mr. Whoever is? Ask them. No me. He's your brother. Yeah, he's my brother. So you must know where he is You should find him and go tell them We think well, okay, can I just be just look like a lie? You know what's about to happen, buddy? Your car is gone. It's very simple about this. Just really really simple Is this your vehicle? Yeah, okay? This is from the courts. Yeah the highest court in the land that empowers me to take your car unless You can pay this debt Paul and Steve have no idea whether he is telling the truth or not a high court writ is rarely wrong The way to get to the truth is just to keep talking and all the time you're talking You're asking the same questions in different ways, but you're looking for an inconsistency in the answer So it's straightforward interrogation. I spoke with him. It was my landlord I was leaving in this address as well before that guy. I was leaving on that address and that's why he knows my address He sent it to me. He bring I showed him why you take it put it my name to the court Where is your brother? My brother. It's my brother. He's in this country Don't get him We don't need to because we're trying to That's an amazing location that you just gave He's in this country fine. You can take it in my car. Can you give the case? Huh? This case. I'm not gonna give the key. Why should we give the key? Can you get your brother on the phone then? I'm not gonna put him on the phone Well, that's okay. We'll just take the car. I'll call the recovery truck Listen there's an easy way of doing it or there's a hard way No, he's not a hard way if you don't know the response. Unless you prove to us that this is not you Have you got the logbook for that vehicle? Of course, I've got a logbook But before Paul calls the tow truck he rings his office to check out the man's story and whether the writ is correct And the truth is surprising. Bye They have the wrong man Right, he's obviously covering for his brother. His brother is a completely different person. None of this paperwork applies to us He explained to us that it wasn't him and it was his brother But if your name is on that I Want to issue an apology on the behalf of me And whoever else in the community of us Thought that it was he was lying. It just you know I'm saying You know I'm saying if you can't pay we take it away and we hear this all the time my bad, Brody So Luke for holding your brother down my father It just wasn't convincing that writ you are then liable for what it says All the taxi licenses all of that paperwork Shows that this warrant the name on this warrant is Against this man, but in the meantime since we've actually come and knocked on the door We've had an email that says the name on the warrant is wrong It's now up to mr. Alizadar not the court to prove his innocence He's currently legally liable for the debt But Paul and Steve have a plan to soften the blow I'm gonna seize that car outside, but leave it with you I will write paperwork that shows that the sheriff's office. Yeah now owns the taxi. Yeah. Yes You then carry on using it while I sort the paperwork out that if the mistake is not as you say it is You're a reasonable man I can come take the taxi Just so long as you understand that. Yeah. Yeah, if you don't produce it when I ask you to You will be reported as stubborn Mr. Alizadar now has two weeks to challenge the writ in court or risk not just losing the vehicle Let's go challenge the simple as that but also his livelihood He has a family and three children to support There's obviously a mistake or sorry potentially a mistake, but we I'm happy with what I've done because I can still come back not smiling if it goes wrong Right in the meantime If you want to save all this aggravation Ring your brother and get into call Paul has found that more than eight I apologized Y'all not gonna sit in this comments and make me feel bad and sit in front of y'all tv each other popcorn and make me feel bad about To call and do the liar Shout out to the first responders too, man. Thank y'all for hitting the like button, man. I appreciate it, man All the likes the comments even if they say benorted them they push to They push it million households now have no savings at all And almost half of the lowest income households are spending more than 25 percent of their income on debt repayments Oh my god, y'all gonna like the vlog I did this week Y'all gonna like it man. Y'all gonna like it. I did something that I told y'all I would not ever do Y'all gonna like it All I'm gonna say is sturdy driver Steve wood is a Bristol bailiff with over 20 years experience Who is this his firm specializes in carrying out court orders and repossessions on commercial properties A busy week can see as many as 50 rits executed I'm being inclined to say this is a fictitious name. I've been assorted. I've I've been knifed things thrown at us oil petrol We've had people swing at us with pickaxes. We have Heard it all before And I'm sure we'll hear it all again Good morning. Even if someone's up, please tell me how Hi, good morning. My name is Steve wood. I'm a bailiff based here in Bristol. Um, it's just for information purposes Today steve is repossessing a small convenience store A classic corner shop But the tenon they repossessing corner stores Oh, no wonder five pound much stopped being filmed. They took all y'all they repossessed the hundred stores It owes over 5,000 pounds in rent. Okay. All right. They worry something premature again. Bye. Thanks. Bye. Bye It's 6 30 in the morning and steve wants to get there early before the tenant opens up The shop lies in the usually peaceful suburb of clifton Steve doesn't have the keys But as long as the tenant is not inside the property the court order gives them the right to break in But getting in isn't straightforward. They've discovered there's a steel bar reinforcing the doors While the locksmith cuts through the steel the tenant arrives Are you with the shop sir? Yeah, we're bailiffs were repossessing it on behalf of the landlord For non-pay rent Well, that's what you're going to have to discuss with the landlord Steve's first task is to get the keys and gain entry before the tenant crosses the threshold If you encounter anybody Before you get in and that person's inside the premises In you cannot go forward Whereas if you've got into the I feel like y'all just give a free game at this point y'all paying attention I don't let me rewind for y'all if there's ever happening y'all pay attention if you encounter anybody Um before you get in and that person's inside the premises In you cannot go forward Whereas if you've got into the premises And you're over that threshold and then somebody turns up afterwards Um, then you're okay. You're in the premises Y'all got it It's like a vampire vampire can't cross the threshold unless you let him Not bad So have you got the keys that could let us in? All right, did I have the keys please sir? Uh, how much is it Richard Richard? They're in I don't know, uh, it's about five and a half thousand as far as I'm aware Maybe a bit more of that at the moment. We're repossessing it for non-payment rent My colleague repossessed it. All right. We're changing all the locks Yeah, um, we'll you take the stock out now. No, no stock is you can take the stock out But I'll give you my business card and we can arrange to take the stock out where you haven't paid your rent, have you? Steve's writ only allows him to take possession of the property He's not authorized to seize the stock inside or take payment You need to talk to the landlord I would immediately phone the landlord and start to talk to him Um, well, like let me get the warrant. I mean have a look. We'll have a look. Well, according to this, it's 5,802 pounds in 46 pence So if I pay this amount to who to the landlord then we have to open the I can't say yes or no All all I can say is ring the landlord or ring his agent and if they So that's how I do got the money like why wasn't you paying them? You was just trying to For messing till you could build up or something like what's going on here? They agree then we'll let you have the keys back once you've paid the rent arrears and our costs We're changing the locks front and back If you try to gain entry after we've left it will be a criminal offence All right. Thank you for your time. All right. Bye. Bye Despite being owed over 5,000 pounds the landlord at least has his shot back But once inside steve discovers the situation is even worse The back of the shop has been converted into living accommodation None of this has been authorized. It's all put in illegally and there's a sort of shower unit in the end It's just disgusting It really is We normally find that some of the property has been converted if it's upstairs and complete HMP corner store is tough He's separate but actually chopping the shop in half And he hasn't even you know, it's just amateurishly done chopping the shop in half and just putting a full stud boy and then Turn it into living accommodation. It's just wrong Doing all this a not paying rent like Should have paid rent so you could have stayed off the radio. It's wrong. I mean it's gonna take thousands allegedly It's horrible There was definitely three possibly four living there It's sad, but it's not unheard of and it shouldn't happen in today's age But it does While steve doesn't know who is living there the conditions are a real concern Just a load of junk that there's a side entrance here, which has been power blocked up And it's just a little junk really It's Gee with the bees electrics Ah the hell this place hasn't gone up in smoke got everything It wasn't the cleanest of shops that we went into The fridges were dirty There wasn't that much stock on the walls and some of the stuff that was there was out of date There were rat droppings behind the counter Yeah, I wouldn't be doing my shopping in there A bit of a moldy spine, not sure what the hell that's it It's a pain though Open at 12 Back in 10 Back in three minutes, so he's obviously uh, he got one for not back at all Clothes the shop repairs will cost the landlord thousands of pounds And the tenant's business has been ruined by the debt Do I feel any sympathy for them? Not really. I mean it sounds a bit harsh But if he offered to pay the rent this morning Um Then why hasn't he paid it in the past in the past? That's what I said two or three months Why has he messed the landlord around for that length of time? So I think he's brought it on himself Today landlord mark tolbert has arranged for the tenants to come back and clear their possessions from his retired parents flat The tenants had refused to leave and owed 10 000 pounds Unbelievable Although the tenants were vulnerable mark has discovered that they were fully aware of their debt and the notices to leave They even like to keep track of how much rent there in arrears on their calendar And when they got various letters from the lawyers, oh look, it's got the county court judgment there in august Clearly they can't claim they didn't know what was going on And I'll just try and open that window to get a bit more fresh air in to let the stench out If I can be careful Oh dear, oh dear heart breaking absolutely heart breaking Finally the tenants arrived my bad. Hold on. I know a lot of y'all get so upset when I check a text message Whole time y'all don't realize that I'm taking care of my daughter and doing this at the same time My daughter's in the room back there. She go to sleep. I come out here Do videos until I'm dead tired Yeah, wake up at 6 a.m. Take her to school Yeah, I ain't gonna explain it man appreciate y'all who do others to him, man Hold on my bad Real quick. We can start getting stuff downstairs. Can't you? I mean I don't mind helping Yes, of course I will I just want everything out, don't I So I would politely suggest that we try and chuck as many clothes into black sacks a bit quick as possible, wouldn't you? And then and then at least by the time the man in the van comes We'll have done something for him to put in the van, don't we? He's going above and beyond I'm gonna be honest with you. I'd be like Icked out, you know how that ick my ick I couldn't do I can't touch other people's like like I can't touch other people's filth Me personally and there's nothing wrong with saying that if somebody's Like I don't like to clean up after other people. You give them a set of my daughter That's the only bird like other than that like Nah, man. No It's really called a man in a van. I thought he was like like the man All right rubbish agrees. Yeah, you're gonna sign to that. Thanks. Yeah With the tenants and their possessions gone mark inspects the flat. This is brandy carpet turn off years ago Flat this brandy carpet turn off years ago The carpet three years old bro. What are you talking about? It's okay You're gonna have to if you plan to I know in the state of Illinois If you plan to rent out even if somebody's only been there six months you got to redo the carpet And if you don't the rent the whoever's running to complain that you got to come do it anyway This is because they let no absolutely no air into the flat whatsoever during the time they were here newly decorated before they came in on a positive night It looks somewhat better than it did about four hours ago Okay Mark and his parents can now start the process of getting the flat refurbished Two weeks ago high court enforcement officers paul bowhill and steve pinner were in romford to see taxi driver mr Ali zadar me there's a different person He had to pay three thousand pounds or risk losing his car. My paperwork allows me under this name To seize your vehicle, but it was a case of mistaken identity The ritz should have been in his brother's name and even though mr. Ali zadar is the innocent party It was up to him to clear his name in court Ring your brother and get into call Now they are returning to romford him The debt has risen by a further 700 pounds and mr. Ali zadar hasn't been to court So while paul and steve know he's the wrong man The ritz commands them to collect on the debt the bloke has not Made an arrangement. Yeah, I'll happen to do in the world. He is what it is, but to pay yet So we're going to go back and give him the bad news that we're expecting him to pay Just three thousand nine hundred and fifteen pounds today I'm a lead on it to you did the last time you think you're mr. Nice guy Hey, how are you? I'm okay. How are you? Very well. Thank you We still have a problem. We haven't heard from anybody with regards to this So the situation is now that Because Your name is on all our paperwork. Yeah, we are coming to you for this Because this has come from the high court The the ritz has been done. It's in your name And you're responsible for it as far as the high court is concerned The last thing I want to do or sorry we want to do is to take your car away Because it's a nuisance to us. It's a nuisance to you and it might all go wrong Listen in real real terms, how much money could you get now? The money I can get two three hundred pound. No, no, we're looking for two thousand pounds at least I can give you two three Am I tweaking gotta be tweaking out look what uh Was that the half of the hundred pound? No, no, we're looking for two thousand pounds at least I can give you two three hundred pound With the deadline up and mr. Alexander unable to pay the debt Paul is duty bound to enforce the warrant The sheriffs have to seize the taxi I'm only concerned this warrants telling me what to do and I'm I'm actually going To do what the warrant tells me to do If I was in this gentleman's shoes, I'd have been on the phone to my brother and asked him What have you done? What's the situation? Why have you got these people knocking on my door? But he seemed to be reluctant to do that. I don't know why It also means that mr. Alexander will be without his family transport and out of work I'm sorry to have to do this It isn't fine, and I feel just as bad about it, but You gave it to us last time. I did Which is uh We thought he's finished. Yeah, you're not gonna come back It's cost Four hundred and forty four pounds for our attendance today to remove it Why would you not just go to court and fix it? You gave us chance last time. We thought you we thought we thought you were bluffing And you wasn't So it's just cost him another four hundred and fifty pounds if you like Plus wherever the other costs are on it. So the the debt started off at two thousand four hundred. It's nine on four thousand there This is where it goes out of control The easiest way to resolve this is to get the money That's the easiest way and fight about it afterwards because every day that we've got this car You're losing your wages All right, sir. Is there anything big? Is there anything coffee? No, sir, we're okay. Thank you. We're okay He's a really nice guy though I mean you take the man's car away and he's living away and he invites you in for coffee Take care, sir. Okay. Thank you if we can get this solved in a few days We'll bring you back All right Okay, thanks very much Bye. Bye. I haven't got no car I lost my job Take my kids to the preschool in the morning and also My work now. Mr. Alizadar has two weeks either to pay the money or get the rick changed If he doesn't his taxi will be sold I don't feel bad for that dude. He was a nice dude, you know I thought you lied you didn't lie All you had to do is go to court. You had two weeks to go. You didn't You played games Last year over one day working households playing housing benefit High court enforcement officers Paul Bowhill and Steve Pinner are seeing more and more cases of people on housing benefit Who are in renter rears and in trouble? Today's case is to repossess a house in harrow What I can't believe on these is that the renter rears could just escalate, don't they How do they allow it to get this far? According to their writ the landlord is owed 10 000 pounds by a female tenant We don't know anything about it though, do we? Listen to Do we need to though? Well, no, I suppose not. If we know the whole story, we'll get all emotional about it We'll be in tears sitting on the side of the road. I don't want to do this job Please don't cry. You'll start me off Let's throw me coins and everything in me I thought maybe that was it With no answer their high court's powers enable them to break in Just wiggle in there with see this is they just put a A credit card in the inside of there Be downstairs. Nobody downstairs. Hello Nothing. No That has sucked to come home. Your locks have just changed. Let's have a look around Steve and paul investigate the house for clues to the tenant's situation It soon becomes clear that she has a young child We've got a photograph on there. We've got a lady who um Or guest the nationality. I mean the the actual The name sounds portuguese, but the photographs there tell her own story. She's got one child who on that picture Um looks to be about two or three years old We've then walking along here and we find in debt collection letters through here more debt collection letters different companies more debt collection letters Brent's customer services threatening to take back 2,500 pounds In an overpayment Of housing benefit and then in amongst it. We've got a guide to bankruptcy A woman on her own here. I've got children Seriously weighed down with the debt problem If you read that'd be sad man a couple mistakes you make along the way of adulthood and like ruin your whole Whole you know I'm saying Debt is the debt can lead to depression man. Hey, listen if you got kids Make sure you teach them about credit About debt about savings and if you are in debt, who better to teach them Don't keep your kids in the dark. I mean I can't teach you how to raise your kids but like Some parents like to not tell their kids what's going on man. I won't let my kid. Let's see me stroke. Yo, no, let him see Let him see because sometimes that'd be bringing out the dog in your child Like to go get it in your child like No, my mom my daddy's struggling like I gotta go get it Like I gotta go I gotta be something to get them out of there like that They possess home the people we feel sorry for always are the children of the home So they might be at school and they're gonna come back and find that they're home as it existed when they went now Not young super young. I'm talking like 10 11 12 They got to know what to school no longer exists I'm sending a message which says please call me paul bow Hill sheriff's office will insert the word urgent We're going to access as commanded and taken back the property We're now making the property secure And it's now under seizure to us so Nobody can gain access Unless we authorize it with the landlord now at the property paul finds out more about the background to the case Yeah, she was in receipt of housing benefit for some time. Were you receiving that from the renter suddenly stopped Rent just stopped stopped, um more or less. I don't know exact date more or less about six months ago How long has she been here? She's been here about at least eight months. So the first two months. Yeah, no problem Then after she told me she got made redundant and then from then What did she do to know? Um, I think she's some sort of carer. Um, that's what was written initially on her paperwork And how much is the rent? Uh rent is 1500 a month after six months without paying rent the landlord felt compelled to evict his tenant It was all right up until Up until their pain rent, um, and then it then they started getting a bit not opening doors when I Knock on the door and they can easily tell they're inside because you can see the little kid through the window That's why I gave him a chance. I got I don't really want to chuck a little kid out in the street. Um, which is not nice to do and What's been going on? It's not really a nice procedure to get um Little kid involved and really more or less today. They're going to be out in the street, but um They've they've had more than well enough notice And what the procedure would be if they don't pay or don't move so they've kind of dug the grave really Paul's writ empowers him not only to evict the tenant But also to seize and sell any of her possessions in order to repay the debt There's obviously not 10 000 pounds worth of removable items in the house There's still no reply from the tenant As the locks have now been changed and as the tenant doesn't know yet that she's been evicted Paul and steve are concerned Ten years ago, she's definitely going to pull up with her child like dang That's tough Now we like to wrap it up Now we are mindful of the fact that she is a potentially a single mother With a child So we don't want to dispossess them on a cold night like this if there are other things that we can do Finally the tenant rings. Hello paula. Is that paula? Yeah That paula. I'm a sheriff's officer. We've repossessed your house Do you understand that? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, sir. What's done is done. I'm letting you know We already made that move Yeah, but you missed the point. You cannot get back into your house because it's been repossessed Because it's been taken over by order of the court Well, no, I'm sorry. No, I agree with you. That's why I'm trying to make it easy Well, I'm sorry. There's nothing we can do about it How is it? He's standing in the reality of it impossible Why? It's getting late Paul and steve are worried about where the tenant and her young son will spend the night If children are involved in repossession We immediately go into a completely different mode to contact the council because Where children are involved the council have a duty of care to provide emergency accommodation Two hours later the tenant finally returns She has left her young son in the care of relatives. Oh, I lost my job The child is need too much money because he's eating. He's need a dress, everything Now my expense for money all weeks is 45 pounds I'm feel sick. I'm feel bad Because I love my child all days. I have different letters for bills It's difficult You're Sorry As paula has left her son with relatives. She isn't eligible for emergency council accommodation It's a huge huge problem Because she left her son with I gotta go get them hold on now This is Now 1500 pound a month rent. Where do people find that the housing benefit system has now been capped But we're at the sharp end and the reality is that we do feel for it because we're we're the people who see it I come my mom house But there's one bedroom and one living room My sister in my house is come to she come to visit me now sleep Seven people in one house With paula homeless and without transport the sheriffs decide to drive paula and her sister To her mother's house Well, that's nice. That's nice These dudes got hearts because I like I swear it could be somebody real heartless doing this and not really caring at all She's good to go now It's good to not be emotionless in this job. I'm pretty sure it helps to have emotions So we've done the best we can bear in mind. We've now been here for like nearly 11 hours While one family with a debt problem try and start again There's some good news for mr. Alizadar One week ago he watched paula's as paul and steve repossessed his taxi Bye-bye The taxi was taken to cover a three thousand pound debt that mr. Alizadar maintained was never his With court costs the debt grew to nearly four thousand pounds Right. It was very hard on that time. My taxi was everything For me and my for my family because We saw wife with dad I was out of job No work. I earned nothing Also, we have to Pay for this solicitor as well Was all the pressure it came at the same time. It was very hard. That's how it be every time man all of it be feeling like It's on top of you But after going to a solicitor to get the writ against him cancelled The sheriffs have now returned his taxi You just did that in the first place. I didn't go hold you but but I get it Can y'all see this? Let me move man because I'm gonna be reading this Yeah, I got it Tell them even like comment subscribe turn on your post no these man.
