How Dukes debt recovery
and enforcement works
Dukes (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 Dukes on your behalf.
