Bailiff seizes doormat
Rosie was a single mature student studying Childcare intending to qualify as a nursery nurse.
Up till September that year, Rosie had worked as a Care Assistant, sharing a flat with girl she worked with at the same nursing home.
They shared the expenses and the other girl was responsible for paying all the bills, including the Council Tax.
Unfortunately they disagreed, and just as she started her Course, Rosie moved into a bedsit in a house where six bedsits share one external front door. She now had five neighbours, all professionals or postgraduate students within the age range of 22-30.
The house had a door entry system with a tiny video monitor in each flat, it’s a nice house.
But it's not too big, any person shouting at the front door can be clearly heard throughout the house.
Rosie was surprised to receive a letter from a Bailiff called Mr Whalley, warning her that unless she contacted them to make a payment arrangement, for a debt of £627.54 from her previous address, he would attend her premises within 48 hours to remove goods.
She rang the bailiff, asking how she owed this money, because she had always given her previous flatmate the money to pay the bills.
He explained politely, that he didn’t know, but he could collect the payment in full, either by cash, debit or credit card, and how did she want to pay?
