Just you know, like I ain't going for that That's too deep South London Earlier today Paul Bohill and Steve Penner began a difficult eviction in Thornton Heath Hello The tenant owes over 3 000 pounds She's ignored requests to leave despite being served notice six months ago They discovered a house covered in damp. This is really bad because there are young children here. There's baby milk here And a tenant in a desperate situation I I don't know where for us to sleep. There is nothing we can do about that If it means sleeping on the street for me, that is okay. My little boy is just one year old She made a valid point though. She was like, I'm an adult if it means me sleeping on the street Yes, you are an adult You knew this was coming You can't you can't be oblivious to it and play turn a blind eye to stuff like this Because you're an adult and you have to two with little responsibilities running around Little girl, it's too late. What can be done now to have access to the house? Nothing Now confronted by the possibility of putting a mother and two toddlers out onto the street late at night Steve is making a mercy call to the landlord's agent. Hello Hi, hiya, this is Steve Hey, yeah I've just been on the phone to her and um She tells me that she's got two children under the age of two years old She doesn't finish work till 11 o'clock and she's in Richmond somewhere Okay, what do we do today? Would you come off work? Well, I would yes You say you don't want to let her in for one night She will if I come over. I mean this is I'm doing this for me That's true That's true. Once he get there like it don't matter. You got to get out But it is like 11 p.m. At night. There's nowhere to go. Okay If you say that she can stay there for one night I will see that she goes in the morning Takes her kids off somewhere and that's and then she comes back at in a few days and clears the rest of her stuff 100% 100% physically If there's a problem, I will deal with it. Are you okay with that if I take that responsibility for you? Yeah, okay. I mean what's hitting me is the two kids Yeah, yeah, I know I appreciate that Because after all bad bets you've got two kids as well. Yeah, I mean that's that's the only bit if the kids wasn't there I wouldn't be even having this conversation. Are you happy with that? Yeah, yeah, thank you for that. Take care. Bye. I mean that's cool a good understanding There's two tiny kids You can't expect well, maybe you can Maybe it's I'm in the wrong job I can't put two kids out on the street 10 o'clock 11 o'clock at night. I can't do it. So The responsibility is on me My boss may kick my behind for it tomorrow I can't do it, you know, not everybody's heartless. That's the thing And at the end of day, we all have problems from time to time. So, you know, if you can help someone out, why not? True Steve's decision... That's how I actually like Steve and his partner, man. They actually have hearts Like doing this job and have been heartless. I don't know. You got to be a different breed is unprecedented Although sheriffs can use their discretion. This is the first time he's ever decided to let a tenant back in after they've been evicted He restores the original locks so that the mum and her children can get in And he will return tomorrow I'm interested to see how this goes the next day Because normally, man, you get some certain people, they take a mile like that. I'm back in. I ain't going nowhere no matter what It's 10 a.m. And Steve is on his way back to the property Today's the day she has to leave. He withered two Litlins I don't I don't know the full reasons behind it. All I'll I just know is that She's the house has been repossessed and that's all there is to it She did send me a text last night thanking me to let her let her stay I mean 10 a.m. though now you got plenty of time one more night one more day wouldn't affect the agent the landlord or anybody The only person it would affect was the lady in the house Good morning. How are you? Did I speak to you when you I'm Steve I am thank you so much for yesterday because I gave you the guarantee Yeah You don't want to go back on your word? I understand What you need to take now is the stuff that you're going to need till you can get back But despite drafting in a friend to help her pack she's still not ready I take I take six minutes from waking up to get out the door I haven't got much more. I did say to you two hours Steve changes the locks again, it's the third and final time They're just getting their last few few bags together No lights on upstairs. I think It's taken over 24 hours, but the tenant finally leaves the property This is a reasonable transaction between both parties man. I salute it. This eviction Is over Well, that's that now done A little bit longer than I anticipated but you know such is life The most surprising thing about the job sometimes is you've done a repossession and asked somebody to leave their home and then They say thank you. I don't understand that but we're always grateful and it does happen The total amount of unpaid rent in England in Wales has over 200 million pounds The household sank further into debt this year for the first time since the onset of the financial crisis A new report says that non-morbid related debt grew 4% in the past 12 months Another day there are more high court rits to chase While house repossessions make up a large portion of Paul and Steve's work There's another part of the job that's taking up more and more of their time We will seize the vehicle until somebody comes forward with the relative paperwork to say that it isn't actually yours Known as seize and sales the sheriff's aim is to recover debts owe to their clients We're a high court enforcement agency and there is a debt outstanding And I don't know if they got this in america, but is that her car? I don't know This portion of the show This portion of the show be wow Like yeah, I'm going to pull up whatever you got that can pay this debt. I'm going to take period Hey for your mum Let's say it's in the region of nearly five grand Every time a payment is made Paul and Steve get a percentage The only thing that's going to stop us taking your car today is if you make a substantial payment I mean then I can't pay a grand or something then do something next week Happy days. We'll take a thousand and off the money's credit card and we'll go forward But if the debtor can't or won't pay they have the authority to remove possessions to cover what's owed Today they're enroute to a seasoned sell job in serbeten on the outskirts of london The debt is an eye-watering 25 000 pounds It's oh, yeah, it's over with they don't got that Oh to a firm of solicitors who were I don't know who it is, but they don't got it ploy to fight a court case But who haven't been paid If paul and steve can get the debtor to pay up they'll get a percentage If not, they'll have to remove his possessions and sell them to earn any commission Hello, excuse me. I'm looking for these people here Mr. Joe is not here We're from the high court. It's to do with legal costs That we have we have a warrant here For 25 000 pounds worth of legal costs Can we come in and talk about it so we can get on the telephone to them? All right Mr. Joe the man thereafter is at work Mr. Joe is my husband. He's in office now. All right Is that is that quite close? Is the office quite close? Could could you ring could we you know we need to resolve this today if that's possible, please? Come on, sir. Oh, okay Hello Yes, my name is paul bow Hill I'm a high court enforcement officer We have a warrant here For 25 300 pounds Are you aware of it? If I can explain this is quite serious though is that The writ here authorizes me to take payment of this money 25 000 or to take away the contents of your house I mean, is there any possibility that you can pay? Can I make it really clear that this warrant authorizes me to take the contents of your house away if I need to? And if we wait here, I'm quite happy to do that But there is a cost to that for every hour that I'm here. It will cost you 218 pounds Whenever we're doing a job it's about getting paid because I get paid if we get a result we don't get paid if we don't Yeah, but you're missing the point here. I'm staying here in the house until you ring me back They're not grasping the enormity of the problem the critical thing that I didn't notice earlier Is the actual judgment in the first place is for less than 9 000 pounds. They appealed the decision and lost the appeal So we're now looking at three times the figure Wow This is how debt runs out of control, isn't it? It's a classic example Mr. Cho has been made legally responsible for the debt of 25 000 pounds owed to the solicitors It's a lot of money and they've no idea if he can pay up While they wait for his 27 back 25 bands. It was originally nine you appealed it And lost to a firm of lawyers, which sounds about right like what are you appealing like? They got all the legal jargon like you're gonna lose that unless you Unless you've got you know, I'm saying The coldest lawyer in the UK his return Steve begins an inventory To see if there's anything of significant value they can seize dresser Garden chair sit Outside Paul is weighing up the options. We've done a land registry search. So we're ahead of the game The land the property doesn't belong to them. We've also established that the person who is actually here The guy whose name is on the warrant is a chartered surveyor And that the firm he works for are estate agents and surveyors So in other words, they're people with the ability to pay in other words As they can't take the house it looks like the only way Mr. Cho can pay off his debt will be through his earnings Especially as Steve's inventory isn't coming up with much Do they got money? He just chooses nothing so far amounts to the fact that we're looking for 25 000 pound With all due respect to the people in here, none of this will require even scraps of service Let's say a hundred pound big braid and say a hundred pound microwave. By the time you take it out Who wants to buy a second-hand microwave? They're not going to buy a hundred pound Yeah, definitely not when you can go to Asda if we can get one for 30 pounds Asda's got Walmart Three hours after the sheriff's arrival, Mr. Cho turns up It's the first opportunity to discuss his debt face to face We've taken an inventory of the items in the ground floor here I understand that upstairs he's rented out to other people All of these are not ours. Okay. I'm not the owner. I had to sell this house. All right Today I was in the city of London. My wife called me urgently Somebody visited to collect money whatever So I rushed to come here By train and bus. I was shocked As the sheriff's checked Mr. Cho's expenditure it becomes clear He's already paying out more money than he's getting in. Is that your current debt? And every month I should pay monthly. Can you imagine so many items to pay monthly pay? I had to because I'm come this is your you have to pay these. Yeah, okay, so that's why you may Uh listed in his fund is or whatever. Yeah, nothing. Yes. No, no, we know The chance of recovering the debt is disappearing. I'm not in the business. Yeah, it's getting hopeful. It's getting slim It's not even up to me to ask so how many you how do these people getting this kind of debt but like He seemed like he ain't crazy. I'm talking 50 bands just going through the motions But I do need to establish that this house doesn't belong to you Which we've done by checking the land registry. You haven't swung into the drive in a brand new Mercedes car Which we would have taken. No, so that's okay. So that's okay For example, for example, try yeah So we will go away Empty-handed but happy that we've done our job Now there is only one weakness to this If we go away, we report that there is nothing to seize They could immediately if they wish issue bankruptcy proceedings against you You're gonna do that. Yeah myself. Oh, that's fine. That's okay. Sorry. It's not fine, but it's it's that's all right Being in debt used to be a shameful thing going bankrupt Used to have one hell of a stigma attached to it But that only now applies to people over 50 People over 50 will be ashamed to be in debt and they would not want to go bankrupt younger people Effectively don't care anymore. Yeah, now they don't I was just about to say I got like four friends that defy for bankruptcy They don't care It's not a problem to them With an impending bankruptcy, mr. Cho is in no position to pay up Paul and steve leave empty-handed The child looked very comfortable, but I don't have it. There's no panic in my heart The guy's gonna file his bankruptcy. I don't doubt that he's told us the story which is sad in its own way Nothing is just spiraled out of control It's very shameful for me personally because I should I have worked quite a long time I should have saved money and to pay back paid the debt but I couldn't pay because my personal economy difficulties That's that's why I feel somewhat shameful Maybe it looked like he was about to cry When his charity shelter says that one in 11 people feared they will not be able to afford to keep a roof over their heads It found that millions across the country will be starting this year anxious about whether they will be able to pay rent or their mortgage Today the enforcement team is on their way to an unusual house repossession in Croydon south london We're looking for 79 79 79 There's one landlord and one property but two sets of tenants are being evicted The landlord served notice on them three months ago He wants to renovate the property, but they've not budged 79 next to the white door. So the original lease was up and then he served with notice because they stayed or something Always man, that'd be bogus to me, man Or was they living month to month and he was like now I can't here's the The arrival of the sheriffs armed with a high court writ of possession will soon bring both tenancies to an end Good morning We're high court enforcement officers. We come to repossess the property today So dang is there somebody else here as well? Okay The downstairs room is home to a young family with a small child They have no renter ears in a room upstairs is a tenant who has two children She owes almost 8 000 pounds and has not paid rent for 24 months Two years High court enforcement officers Wow, and we've come to repossess the property today. Okay. Yeah With the landlord keen to begin renovations. There's an urgency to get this job wrapped up This has been changed to the high court. There's no eviction letters I don't understand. No, but you you had two months notice No Eight thousand divided by 24 months is three hundred and thirty three thousand thirty three cent per month I ain't gonna hold you. That's not bad When we arrive on the door, we explain why we're there and the first thing they say to us is they I don't know nothing about this. We don't know what you're talking about And then we say to them. Well, you must have had a letter from this We've never had any letters from anybody telling us anything about this and then You gradually talk to them and then realize. Oh, yeah, we did have a letter saying that once And but they still try and deny that it's their problem The writ instructs the sheriffs to evict both sets of tenants, but there's a problem It's the council. Have you spoken to the council about being rehoused? Yeah, I've been there And what was their answer wait till the bailiff? Yeah, I went there twice The tenants have got standard delaying tactics Which are inevitably supported by the social housing People so the council's in other words So the minute the landlord wants his property back The the council's going to mode stop the the housing benefit And immediately start to obstruct so the entire system plugs up Paul and steve That's messed up Are encountering more tenants who are refusing to move because they believe the council won't give them somewhere else to live The landlord has chosen to go to the high court to get this eviction notice Because we're quicker Okay than the county court We're from the high court. No, we're from the high court in london Right and they use us because we're fast And that is that the court was the paperwork was signed off in the high court yesterday And we're actually here today Right, but if you've been to the court, sorry, if you've been to the council, right, I can give you A copy of this high court order Yeah, okay, but the long and the short of it is this yeah You've got two hours to get your stuff back to move out. Is it two hours? I'll just throw it all out. We'll just throw it all out into the street. No, no, that's okay But we still need to be done It's a tough stance But Paul's motivation is that he wants the council to take action so the tenants aren't left homeless Yeah, I guess everybody's playing a game of cat and mouse and let's corner each other into into Let's corner each other until there's no more corners left in the room and see who has the last move That's that's that's too much We are here to evict you today Yeah, right. We might appear to be nice, but you will be evicted today We'll try and help out however we can in the meantime We caught in the same truck that we were always caught in here the count been to the council as recent as yesterday And he's already Been on the case and they're saying it's okay. They can't evict you without notice Wrong This is a high court order completely different to the county court The bailiffs might give them a month or two months, but that's why the landlord's actually called us in Once evicted the tenants should be entitled to emergency accommodation as they both have children But there's not always enough places to go round It's up to the council to decide who gets help and who doesn't Paul is doing all he can Can you tell them it's important time is ticking away when you go in there? Say that no, yeah, let's give it let's put a deadline on it for their purposes at one o'clock We're gonna throw everything out Just to impress the Go and see the council first that we're gonna do nothing till you come back from the council Okay, make sure so you make sure the council understand the pressure. You don't got my stuff in there. No, no just make sure that the council understand Outside the landlord has arrived. How are we doing you? It's nice to see you again. How are we doing? Who's going to the council? He went yesterday and it's the I feel like I've just seen him in episode one. How many properties here? Oh The usual old trot out got away till the bailiff comes. They've both got a copy of the writ to take to the council What we're trying to do is but if they get to the council and they get a positive response We can plan from that. We'll get it rolling So your man's going to change the locks. There's the keys We've had to go through the protocol to get the eviction order all the cost the cost involved It's cost us almost three four grand to get this whole matter sorted out now It's going to cost us thousands to put this property straight But it's one of those things what we have to do part and parcel of our job. So You know, we're just glad that we've got the possession today So all of this can come out all of this floor all of this And they started working immediately 15 minutes after the tenants leave to go to the council offices the renovations begin The landlord's happy. He's got control of the place. He's got all the keys. Lots of changed. No wasted time He's just ready at the end of the day. No matter what when they come back. They gotta leave We just here's the paperwork for the council so they can get you out some emergencies towns No matter what when you re in when you come back ain't no more nights It's a roll. He's ripping the floors up as we speak And he taking a furniture early evening The tenants personal possessions are being collected After many hours of negotiations, they've both been given emergency accommodation If you look at the routine of repossession after we've overcome the first hit and we've repossessed This is a change in the episode everything is going real smooth like on this episode Property we changed from Everybody's getting their emergency council. I mean their emergency housing Landlords are being reasonable. You know what I'm saying? Only mr. Even mr. Chow was kind of nice, you know Couldn't get his stuff. Oh well Enforcement of bankruptcy. Okay, whatever This is us into caring individuals and we will then go to tremendous lengths to make sure that people are dealt with sympathetically Paul's uncompromising approach left the council with little option Yeah, because it's not like At this point the council is telling y'all one thing But we're here to debunk that what they're telling you so let's work together So y'all can head to the council and be like no, it's now or never Put that pressure on them. I get it teamwork Somewhere One in five families in England now rent from a private landlord The latest census figures from the office of national statistics Also shown that the proportion of families that own their own home has dropped by 30% over the last decade As more people are priced out of property ownership It's two weeks before christmas in central london Enforcement officers paul and steve are traveling to one of the capital's most expensive areas right in the heart of the city We're in the congestion car, don't you? Yeah, it's been a little day Harking, harking was a tenor, congestion was a tenor You know It's a place where evictions might seem unlikely, but you'd be mistaken He'll come back and say expensive that is Well, he might what's up with all the trash on the floor Looking real new yorkie right now Why is my oh Cam is a little crooked. Okay choose more flowery words They're chasing a debt of around 4 000 pounds made up of renter rears and sheriff's fees The high court writ has instructed them to both repossess the property and seize possessions The locksmith has already arrived, but before they meet the tenants they have to get in Hi, sorry to trouble you. We're enforcement officers and we need to get into one of the flats at the top I wonder if you could let us in Thank you very much They must not like them up there. They was hell yeah, come on in get them up out of here Tough once inside. It's an uphill struggle even before the job has begun Need oxygen It didn't feel like it was that many glory 97. Yeah, no wonder I was out of breath. You're out of breath. I should think so I'm getting up too old for this look I'm glad I'm not the only one out of breath Good morning We're high court enforcement officers And there is a debt outstanding of 4 000 pounds And we come to repossess the property today Can you one second sure Four thousand dollars seems like the lower end of today's episode The man who owes the money is not at home, but his partner is in The rent has not been paid for three months There is a debt outstanding of four thousand pounds So it's been to court. Yes, and you're you know, you're lost in court And now we come to evict you The offer to pay is unusual, but it's too little too late. The situation is that I need to secure the debt on money on equipment property here While the locks are changed steve chats to the data on the phone The rent hasn't been paid for some time The landlord has gone to court and It's now been transferred up to the high court and we're at the top of the court And It's now been transferred up to the high court and we're high court enforcement officers We've come to evict you today The situation will be is that we will seize everything in the flat Until this money is paid Please don't take this the wrong way. If you pay the money today, you still have to leave There's nothing I can do about that So please accept my apologies for that but there is nothing I can do Let me just pause you back at that point. It's it's time to start thinking critically Even if I pay this money, which I have half of I can get still gotta go So at this point, I'm Me personally if I was in this situation, I'm just gonna keep my little money. I'm gonna keep my money Try to go get a new place with the money and then figure this out later You can take all my money and I'm homeless still at the end of it like not. Thank you The tenant claims the money will be paid today, but nothing can stop the eviction He's quite reasonable. He says it's his fault. What happens if he could pay the money today. He's expecting some money today I just explained to him that You know, he can pay the money today, but there is nothing I can do about them staying in the flat He's on his way. So it'll be with us in a short while. They have a seven-year-old Okay While they wait for the tenant to come back Paul decides to intervene. He has a plan to soften the blow He calls the landlord's agent I'm fine. Thank you, sir We have repossessed the flat Okay, there's just a couple of questions if I may Is they they say they are able to pay this rent arrears Yeah Is it was just a question as to whether the landlord might review the situation in view of the fact that they're going to pay up to date Yes, I don't mean stay today because we've now repossessed it. So I don't know as a me putting myself in a landlord's shoes What can guarantee me that this is not going to happen again? And I won't have to go through this whole process again and spend my own money again to do this Like nothing can guarantee me that so I don't know We could we could give them a holiday let for a week or fortnight So the question is purely would the landlord look favorably if they pay that the repossession costs and the locksmith's costs Uh, you might go forward with it Thanks ever so much. Take care A holiday let would allow the tenants to move back in after a few days. I'm telling you man if I can get I love money one day. I'm gonna come out there and I'm gonna buy something I'm gonna buy something. It's gonna be called lit housing The lit housing Giving them time to sort out the debt with the landlord the incentive on this is if the landlord does agree to that He's gonna get his rent paid up to date otherwise What we've got in the flat isn't gonna pay four thousand pounds So the landlord has a choice bird in the hand isn't it London Just two weeks before Christmas Paul and Steve are carrying out an eviction in one of the capital's most expensive suburbs They're chasing a high court writ for just over four thousand pounds based on rent arrears plus costs When they arrived Only the debtors partner was at home We're high court enforcement officers There is a debt outstanding I wonder if she even knew Of four thousand pounds But now the man they've been waiting for is back Chris from Poland recently moved here with his family to start a new job as an area sales manager My name is paul. This is steve. It looks like it's not going to well. Hi there. We have a We have a warrant here. Now. Can I just say something before we go? Is there a possibility you can pay the rent? Yes Okay, it doesn't affect the fact that we've now repossessed the property But I the landlord lives in the States I've already just phoned the agents and asked if there's a possibility If you pay the rent tomorrow, for example, would he still let you stay here if that's okay with you But you still have to leave today. Yeah, I understand and then but what I'm trying to say is we're quite happy to try and Change things to make it go forward I came to London in February 2013 and we came with vision of me having a full-time job, but at that time the job did not happen and We ran into the problems If you can get your stuff together and then I'll get in touch with you if the landlord comes up trumps and Agrees that you can stay here. Yeah. Yeah see and now like after hearing that there's You go you coming into some money today cool But with the news that you just told me right there like This is going to be a continuing problem until you Figure out a new job or a full-time situation Thank you rents are quite high Well, unless you don't pay them then They don't cost much But then you get thrown out of the house something cannot live In London without money and we're not the kind of people that will go and benefit or child benefit or whatever She Hey, man, listen You overshot your dream by a little by a little bit It's okay to meet help As long as you're helping yourself though Of us trying to avoid an escape and not ever ever pay that it was just a matter that few months It was late and that was the problem because of the work because of the job because of of the situation Chris and his partner leave the property with just a few personal possessions They still have no idea if the landlord will accept the sheriff's plan for their return So There are absolutely genuine people who Don't want to be in debt and they can't avoid the consequences of what's happening around them. So Yeah, see this episode was chill Everybody was cool. In other words, they're not driving the situation It's a few days later and paul and steve are returning to central london chris has paid up The sheriff's plan has worked Oh, okay Okay, this is a holiday letter agreement Um, which will give you 14 days To stay here to sort out everything else that you need to do and then we will go on from there Essentially what's happened you've paid the rent up to date, you know, so there's no debt And the landlord is in agreement that you continue. So he obviously accepts that you're a good tenant Apart from this hiccup over the rent But all that happens because it takes time for that other agreement to start We do this short term. You could just sign the bit where the tenant is That's them So hey, this is w episode everybody was solid good on their words good people I'll contact the agents tomorrow sort out the details and I'll let you know Okay, okay, that's it. That's all we want. Yeah, that's it. That's we're done. We'll leave you now And we'll good luck Chris. We'll see you soon. Have a good Christmas. Have a good Christmas. Yeah, thank you It's that I'm gonna lose my home I really need to do something because You know, he is a genuine person, you know um And everything he said he would do he did So he stood on that word. That's a You know as a man things happen As long as you got a plan and you stand on your word because as a man your word is really all you got And once you go back on your word and once it's not solid people really start to look at you differently. That's really when it happened so It's a solid dude, man. You have to give credit to him So that little sharp jab to begin with focussed him and He's now back at home happy Ready for Christmas. Well, unlord's got his renter ears, which if we'd thrown him out and left him out Would they got it? Don't care not have occurred So it's a this is an occasion when it's a win-win situation I'm pleased with the result. They're nice people. Yeah, definitely Yeah Okay, happy days Onward no woods. Oh onward and upwards onward driver Just put the pedal Like y'all doing a lot You've done my own worded upward onward and forward.
