You owe them nothing, so do nothing.
Or send this to the number they left.
Bailiffs came round yesterday and left a threatening note, saying they will take £1,500 worth of stuff (previous owners name.) Only has a mobile number to ring.

And yes, this is the same rule as the one for vampires.
Quite right too! It's bad enough that the local bus gets diverted every time Thames Water decides they want to dig up our street.And yet if you cut a bailiff's head off, stuff its mouth with garlic, and bury it at a crossroads, all of a sudden you're supposedly the one in the wrong.
A leaflet with a mobile phone number on it doesn't sound at all like a court appointed bailiff / sheriff. Its much more likely to be some standard bailiff company who have purchased a load of private debt for pennies. Maybe a utilities bill unpaid or something.
Its all pretty normal and when it happened at my old house I just phoned them up and explained the situation and they were fine with that. I know some people like to get all fighty in this situation but I'm firmly in the camp of just make the problem go away as easily as possible. Save your energy for important stuff.
I've never been fighty with bailiffs but I do feel it's my duty to be arsey and uncooperative around them if only to drain a little energy that would otherwise be spent hassling those less fortunate than myself.I know some people like to get all fighty in this situation but I'm firmly in the camp of just make the problem go away as easily as possible.

It's no different to keeping scammers on the phone for an hour. They're scum, fuckem.I've never been fighty with bailiffs but I do feel it's my duty to be arsey and uncooperative around them if only to drain a little energy that would otherwise be spent hassling those less fortunate than myself.
Or spending an extra minute and a half finding your ticket on the bus so anyone without one has time to sort themselves out.It's no different to keeping scammers on the phone for an hour. They're scum, fuckem.
I'm probably being naive here being lucky enough not to deal with something like this, but if they turn up again and you are on your own could you phone 999 and tell them they are men outside threatening to come in and you've just moved in and you are really scared? Lay it on a bit thick.
If they are genuine court appointed bailiffs it will get sorted out, if they are dodgy ones, I'd have thought they won't want the hassle.
"Help! There are people screaming and trying to kick my door down!"IME, Police are really, really unwilling to turn-out for bailiff-related matters and try and dismiss it as a civil matter - even if the cunts are on to the wrong person. For this to work, you would have to lay it-on very thick!

I dont have time or inclination to chase this at the moment as juggling way too much. Will reiterate to friend to not ever answer the door. Although he doesn't speak much English and is quite beefy...no way would he let random men in to take my stuff without a battle.
I think "necessarily" is the key word here. Some will just say "oh ok then" and stop if you get in touch. Others just seem to keep sending aggressive letters demanding money indefinitely no matter what, through inefficiency, disorganisation, just being cunts, whatever. No actual people in the places I've lived though. Maybe the cost/benefit works out for them in the end or maybe they have no idea and do it anyway.Yeah, like I said, these people may be pieces of shit, but they're not necessarily complete idiots. There's no point in them wasting time pursuing something they can't legally claim...
