If you’ve been contacted by a bailiff, it’s natural to check if they are legit. However, Jacobs Enforcement is a regulated debt collection agency in the UK. Jacobs is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to collect debts on behalf of their clients. You can check whether the bailiff is registered at the Certified Bailiff Register (http://certificatedbailiffs.justice.gov.uk/)
No. You aren’t required to let them in, so don’t let them enter your house.
Yes, Jacobs Enforcement Agents are certified Bailiffs. They hold a certificate, granted by a judge at the county court, which allows them carry out enforcement action by way of taking control of goods and, if necessary, selling these to recover a debt.
