How Collectica debt recovery
and enforcement works

Collectica (enforcement agents, often called bailiffs) collects debts for councils, courts, and other 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 can speak to Collectica on your behalf.
