Love that these agents are honest enough to admit they have been in situations somewhat similar to some of these stories. The debtors need to understand that they can get themselves out of trouble and go on - not without great effort but it is possible!

This programme has given me a whole different wiew on pro debt collectors, its just a job, they are nice to the nice and bad to the bad, and their patience and emphathy is outstanding, and if you are owed money, you also would want them back but im also aware that to some debitors see the bailiffs as the ones to blame for their debts and get mad at 😂

Craziness. You only have a society by considering others. You can’t pick and choose the laws you’ll live by. Otherwise, others don’t need to live by your laws. Then someone can take over your house and take your dog. Then when you complain they can say they don’t follow your rules… 😂😂😂😂

[@georgegonzalez2476]

Odd that a rental company would accept $100 a month on a $17,000 debt!! That's barely the interest.

[@TheSavage303]

Might just be they see that as better than cutting their losses or waiting on potentially catching a valuable asset. Some people have learned how to game the system so well it could be 10+ years before even high Court enforcement can get a decent sum. So some companies will use them to intimidate in order to get any little bit they can. $100/month is still better than $0.

[@shouldabeenaborted]

They dont seem to have as much power as they used to. Before they would force their way in on e you opened the door. Now all they can seem to do is seize cars otherwise they can only knock.

During hight of Covid they weren't allowed inside the houses, I believe this is mentioned in a different episode.

I had to surrender my vehicle to the bank and a baliliff picked it up honestly I’m happy I did that instead of missing payments and dragging it on I don’t have to pay the 50k owed to the bank but my credit is just trashed as long as I have my credit cards that’s all I care about

[@terryross1754]

It should be illegal for car-hire firms to rent vehicles without basic minimum 3rd.-party insurance, incl. cover for the hirer in case of damage that cannot be reclaimed from other insurances. Insurance companies can offer very affordable rates if they have a broad base of subscribers, so rates/day or week should be at common commercial levels. Very few people can afford to pay 17k out-of-pocket, and consumers need to be protected against themselves and uncaring business sharks. Leaving major financial risks on (either naive or unwitting) customers is immoral and reprehensible.

[@philiptownsend4026]

Agree with that. No insurance = No car.

[@jacksonm.6549]

If a bunch of strangers show up and ask me about a previous neighbour of mine, whose license plates I know off by heart - you can rest assured I'm not ratting them off. My neighbours would do the same for me. I would phone my former neighbour and have a chat with them over the phone first before taking the conversation any further. Yet these lot were so keen to tell the agents the whereabouts of their former neighbour and that they owned a posh car.

[@cleverlyblonde]

I think the officers can identify themselves though, or be verified by police. So they are not strangers in that sense...

[@bassstudent4life]

If they have to call the police for enforcement, then it's not an effective system.

[@arh1234]

They usually don't need police backup. I think it makes sense that only specific officers can make arrests, not just any government or court officer.

[@ETWL897]

"For hire car".. is that a taxi?

[@investigator77]

I think it's a rental car that you get for a week or two, like on vacation! Here in Canada it's like Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Budget, etc

[@V4NLIFE_CANADA]

We all went through hard time, doesn’t apply to those snickers tho. The only thing they had to do is contact them and make arrangements. People don’t understand how much time actually passes before the bailiff knocks on your door. And banks and other lenders usually give you plenty of opportunity to actually get your shit resolved. So don’t come me with “hard times” up my ass. Pay your shit or lose it.

[@steve88luv]

The only problem I have with some of these is they strike up a good chat but only to find out that they can take the mans entire way of making money to pay for a dog. Its not really a even trade there, the dogs alive obviously but to take someones tools and everything after theyve gone through covid and pretty much guarantee that they wont be able to work again is just sick. I understand they owe money but some assets really shouldnt be touched. A persons life and well being shouldnt be jeopardized over a debt.

[@peterhanssens7260]

From Canada : What's the story in the UK regarding expensive cars ? Yikes in Canada, the insurance will kill you. 😮 🇨🇦

[@investigator77]

That's why half of the people don't drive with insurance. They take the chance, and figure if they get towed, THEN they'll get the insurance so they can pick up their car.

[@peterhanssens7260]

@investigator77 It is illegal not to have car insurance in Canada. It is an inditable offense, I believe.

Is a IVA like bankruptcy, sounds like it

[@james64468]

Yep it is. But remember in USA we have some debt can't be dismissed by bankruptcy.

[@investigator77]

I wondered if it's before a bankruptcy? In Canada we have a Non-Profit Credit Counselling program, that works with you to sort out your finances, and make payment arrangements with your creditors. You aren't technically bankrupt, but for those people who want to at least try and pay their debts, it works well. People end up paying about 20% of the original debt. Sadly it stays on your credit rating for 10 years, rather than 7 for the bankruptcy.

More people not paying their debts because they think they can get away with it.

[@TheSavage303]

​@penchant1972 exactly this. I've been in rough times where I had to go into debt to help family and keep the bills paid. I worked with the companies, kept them updated, and paid whatever I could manage. They never took it to court because I made the honest effort and they saw that. Eventually got all the debt paid off and never had to stress over court, leins, or wage garnishment. By the time it goes to the high court the debt may have been unpaid for YEARS. These people just dig their heads in the sand hoping it'll go away.

As a fellow enforcement agent I can tell you one thing.... when we say " I don't want to be here" it is 100 percent bullshit. We would rather be out in the field than in the office doing paperwork. We work for the government where there is basically unlimited opportunity to move to other jobs... the people who do this job want to do it, get paid pretty well for it and " Want to be there"
