Haringey Council - Ban the Bailiffs!

We are calling on Haringey Council to end the use of bailiffs in the collection of council tax debt. 

Bailiffs are a violent and humiliating way of dealing with debt. Residents have described being bullied and threatened inside their own homes, in disputes over council tax. Their actions have a lasting impact on adults and children.

The use of bailiffs remains remains horribly widespread in Haringey, with thousands of council tax debts passed onto bailiffs every year in this borough alone. 

It is time for Haringey Council to change course. With the rocketing cost of living pushing more and more residents to the point of insolvency, this is more urgent than ever. 

We call upon Haringey Council to cease using bailiffs to collect council tax debts, and to focus instead on working with struggling residents to agree affordable repayment plans.
