Just to be clear, there’s a difference between a bailiff and a High Court Enforcement Officer, although both essentially do the same job, a bailiff has very little power whereas a HCEO has a lot of power. If you have a HCEO on your doorstep it is worth complying, calling the police will only get the police to side with them, as the police uphold the High Court Ruling. If they are chasing a debt on the property, it’s worth proving it is not you, or they will take goods and you only have 14 days to then prove they shouldn’t have. It’s much easier to prove you are you and not the intended person at the time.
