Sisters beat the bailiff
At 4pm, Miss Kelsey returned to find the door of number 73 wide open, and a cardboard box in the hallway marked “PROPERTY OF THE BAILIFF”.
As she walked into the house, Angela and Vanessa greeted her formally but politely, pointed to the box saying “that’s your stuff”, and gave her a cheque for £429.47 neatly stapled to a printed and signed letter stating that she Miss Kelsey had committed fraud by charging excessively, misrepresented her powers of entry, levied on exempt goods, and that the Greys would be reporting this to the Chief Constable as well as making a Form 4 complaint to the Court, and that everything she could see was the property of a third party, that the tools and sign written van were the debtors “tools of his trade” and therefore exempt and the debtor did not have the goods to satisfy the debt.
Kelsey looked round in wonderment, she’d never seen anything like it in the two years she’d been a bailiff, she walked around the bare house, opened the cupboards and the wardrobes, and sure enough they were empty, except for the spare room which was full of electrical tools.
She knew she couldn’t take those, or the battered old sign written van.
Kelsey felt sick, she’d counted on at least getting £200 out of this job, and Len had assured her that this one would be easy. She didn’t take the goods, she’d never wanted them anyway, returned to her van and drove away shaking her head in disbelief. Miss Kelsey never bothered to come back.
Angela is paying her sister back.
David no longer works for himself. He gets low pay but it’s regular.
They've paid off their other debts and Angela now deals with the bills.
