You can search these pages for all enforcement agents (previously called bailiffs) who hold a certificate which allows them to carry out enforcement action by taking control of goods and, if necessary, selling these to recover a debt. You can search by an enforcement agents name [...... etc......]

If you know of a serious conduct issue which would mean that an enforcement agent or officer listed on these pages is not a "fit and proper" person to hold a certificate, you may write to the court manager, at the named court, providing the reasons for this alongside supporting evidence.
