BAN BAILIFF ACTION ON HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN UNDER 18 OR RECEIVING BENEFITS
Stop bailiff action completely against all families on low income, benefits, and every household that has children under 18, receives benefits or is on low income or otherwise vulnerable.
Force authorities and companies to accept instalments and restrict completely the current ease with which people are taken to court and bailiffs instructed - adding massive extra fines and charges to their bills.

Why is this important?
a) children are traumatised and affected for life when they witness aggressive and immoral bailiff action towards their parents who are generally distraught
b) I would like to call for a complete review of the situation concerning the use of bailiffs to create some concrete facts to show the percentage of bailiff action which happens towards households which are on low incomes, have children under 18, and/or are receiving benefits.
c) I do not think the tax paying nation would wish the benefits which it funds to be paid into the hands of bailiffs, nor the household goods of the households affected to be given to bailiffs.
