Man launches campaign over bailiffs’ tactics

A BUSINESSMAN has launched a campaign to highlight what he claims are the “bullying” tactics used by bailiffs collecting debts on behalf of local authorities.
Peter Troy is taking action after bailiffs, instructed by Durham County Council, tried to charge him £361.84 to cover an unpaid £80 parking fine.
The businessman, of Feversham Terrace, Ferryhill Station, claims that as well as attempting to overcharge him, bailiffs wrongly threatened to attend in the middle of the night to impound his property.
Mr Troy believes his experience, and those of others he has talked to, reveal that bailiffs are bending the rules to recover money.
