Brighton & Hove Debt Advice Service
This squidoo page is about bailiffs in Brighton and Hove who may call trying to collect council tax or community charge (poll tax) arrears. If a bailiff has contacted you to collect another sort of debt the law might be different. Phone us for advice or seek advice from a local advice agency.
Council tax and poll tax are usually collected by private firms of bailiffs on behalf of your local council. If you have debt in Brighton, they try to take your goods away and sell them, usually at auction, to raise money to pay the debt. The process they have to follow to say they want your goods is called 'distraining' or 'levying'.

Facing bailiffs in Brighton? Here's what to remember:
There are some things that the bailiffs are not allowed to take at all; such as goods that are rented or hired. The regulations also say that the following items are
exempt and can't be taken:
- "Such tools, books, vehicles and other items of equipment as are necessary for use personally in
employment, business or vocation"
- "Such clothing, bedding, furniture, household equipment and provisions as are necessary for
satisfying basic domestic needs of the person and family".
- This list is not very specific so you may find that bailiffs have a different idea of what items are necessary for you to keep and what can be taken. You can complain about what the bailiffs
take if you feel the items should have been exempt.
