The weight of evidence against the bailiff industry is staggering yet according to Marston's own publicity, it is doing a good job and they are prospering.
Not a mention of the innocent victims.
Even worse; provide the council with evidence of wrong doing and you become the pariah. Blackpool's new council leader Simon "donkey walloper" Blackburn follows the labour MP into ignoring all mail from constituents with dissenting voice.
Tonight you get a rare opportunity to act as jurors as Pip Clothier puts the bailiff system under the microscope. Exposure, 1035 ITV.

Councils rely on 'bullying' bailiffs

A bailiff at Rossendales, a debt collection firm that works for almost 150
councils, repeatedly broke the guidelines covering bailiffs.
John Boast, senior bailiff, broke several guidelines, while supposedly
“training” an undercover reporter.
The covert filming in ITV1’s Exposure: Bailiffs, which airs tonight, will
raise concern about regulation. The industry follows voluntary guidelines.
When bailiffs make visits, the cost of the visits are added to the bills.
Although bailiffs are not supposed to approach people at anti-social times, Mr
Boast said that he often visited houses at night and on Sundays.

He has got nothing to Boast about -just another coward bending a flawed law.
