How CDER Group Debt Recovery
and Enforcement works

CDER Group (enforcement agents, often called bailiffs) collect debts for councils, courts and private creditors. Their process usually moves through three stages: Compliance (letters, texts and a Notice of Enforcement), Enforcement (a visit to take control of goods), and Sale (removal or sale if the balance remains unpaid). We explain your rights and speak to CDER Group on your behalf.
