Del's son appears to have one hell of an attitude problem.

They're dealing with people at probably one of their worst days of their lives - bailiffs showing up and he's not old or mature enough to be able to handle the situation. Instead he goes in all gung-ho and constantly criticises and tries to be belittle the people he's collecting from.

I noticed it several times in both the takeaway and the guys home. It doesn't matter how many times they say to someone it needs to be paid today - if they don't have the money you can't keep saying it.

You look at all these younger bailiffs then look at Paul and Steve. They've seen people in hard times and they don't have to, they're sympathetic and ask questions about the people. They're just doing their job however come across as incredibly caring.

Del (who is all brawn anyway) his son and McCracken are the three worst ones on there. All go in shooting first and ask questions later. Other than the son, he's just too young and immature to do this type of job.
Careful now Daels knight in shining armour walter will be telling you it's fine for Dael to behave in that manner.

Agree with all of this and the only reason they work with their fathers is they're too thick to do anything else

It was pretty obvious it was his friends house
Even if it was, it still doesn't mean everything in it belongs to his friend.

Obviously i pay more attention than you do to it it was obvious it was his friends house, ok his friend should shown the bailiffs a tenancy agreement or morgage document, maybe he did who knows but it was crystal clear it was his friends house.
Del has always been the big i am and like brian goes crying to the police if someone stands their ground looks like dels son is going to be just as bad too.
I'm starting to think that you possibly work for this bailiff firm, maybe this is why you think the sun shines out of their backsides?
So what if it was his friends house? He still has to prove the stuff doesn't belong to him, ever heard of co-habiting?

Then as if you couldn't get any more pathetic you accuse me of working for a bailiffs firm. In a world of idiocy that is top of the tree.

You are amazing.

I'm not conversing with you anymore, you seem incapable of having an intelligent conversation.

Paul and Steve deal with evictions, not collecting money. Different things altogether. Those being evicted can't really be awkward and hide anything. There is little they can do about it.
It's not about hiding it or being awkward, it's the obvious fact Dael, Del et al treat these people like second rate citizens. Even if Steve and Paul were collecting a debt, you can be sure there would be a human effect on it, they'd ask questions. Try and sympathise. The rest of them are purely there to keep up their hard image and they're coming across as insensitive idiots the majority of the time.

It's called having a joke i guess all those nights out you had with Dael must of taken your sense of humour too.
You say i can't have a inteligent conversation pot kettle comes to mind,
You call someone pathetic for asking if you work for the firm, how childish can you get?
i shall not be bothering to respond to you anymore you seem incapableof having a laugh and joke and you resort to insults if someone debates you.

Well you're going to struggle to get much variation from that theme.

Which is why programming like this should have a limited lifespan on TV unless of course you like watching the same scenario ad infinitum.

I really don't get why programmes like this are so popular. In my opinion it is just pure negativity, and frankly once you've seen one case you've seen them all.

The show masquerades as social commentary, like many others in the genre, but really I think its main target audience is people who just enjoy watching aggro and aggression, not unlike Jeremy Kyle viewers in fact.
Never seen Jeremy Kyle, but this prog has been an eye opener for me, seeing how other people live, and interesting to see how the stories pan out.
I would never purposely get into debt but what worries me is if someone else gets a debt and my address is used or mistakenly used by the bailiffs.

I've had letters from a debt company before for this address which wasn't my debt but thankfully due to shows like this I knew what to do to get them stopped.
My sister, who suffers a lot of ill health & depression after losing her daughter to cancer, mistakenly received a letter from a debt collection company demanding £13,000. It frightened her dreadfully because she was in such a bad place, she really didn't need this. She too watched this prog and was terrified of Bailiffs arriving. The mistake had happened in the debt collection agency's office, some one had typed in the wrong postcode, which brought up her address. The name was not hers so I looked it up online and found it belonged to someone who lived not too far away with an almost identical post code. I contacted the debt company telling them of the distress their mistake had caused my sister, they couldn't have cared less. Hope they didn't get their money.

I completely disagree. I think Del's son Dael understands the nature of the job and wants to get payment quickly and move on. In the takeaway, for example, the people in there were being incredibly rude and lying, and Dael had zero tolerance for that. It wasn't "belittling" it was just exposing the deceit and nastiness of the debtors.

Paul and Steve usually only deal with evictions, and it's arguably an easier job. They have one objective to accomplish which always happens one way or another- to evict the tenants. They do it in a compassionate way but all they have to do is get people out of houses. And when they are occasionally tasked with debt collections, they seem very out of their comfort zones.

I think Dael is by far the most intelligent bailiff, and the best at his job. He's certainly an investigator which makes him very effective at exposing the lies of the debtors.

Careful, you'll be accused of being a bailiff or Dael's mate or something.

It's interesting seeing others views on the bailiffs it's no secret i despise Dael and Del but i do agree Del does investigate and even though i despise him it makes him kind of interesting how he investigates things.
Dael is the biggest prick going but again i agree the takeaway were taking the pee and i thought both Dael and Del handled it all rather well.

I dont get offended but I'm surprised to hear so many F-bombs and even a C-word uncensored between 9.00 and 9.05.

Where did they all come from? Are they some sort of twitchy-curtain brigade? Do they all have some sort of bailiff alarm goes off, like the BatPhone?

Me too. If they were owed money they'd want some action.

Scummy scrotes.
