Threats of imprisonment by enforcement agents (bailiffs) who are not officers of the Crown or the court are legally baseless and potentially criminal.

Report to the Police

If an enforcement agent is:

Threatening imprisonment

Using intimidation or harassment

Ignoring the presence of vulnerable individuals (e.g., disabled men & women and or a child)

You should report them to the police. The relevant laws may include:

Offence Law Description
•Harassment Protection from Harassment Act 1997

•Repeated threatening or intimidating behaviour

•Malicious Communications
~ Malicious Communications Act 1988

•Threats or distressing messages

•Fraud by False
Representation ~ Fraud Act 2006: Claiming powers they do not have (e.g., pretending to be court officers).

Public Order Offences

Public Order Act 1986 •Threatening, abusive, or insulting behaviour
