The car was on finance so they couldn't take it.

The elderly woman at the end had me literally cracking up with laughter! As for the Indian restaurant owner he really was taking the mic. What a waste of everybody's time!

That Sonny Poole's story didn't quite add up. He said the reason he owed that 45k to a delivery company was they had lost about 100k worth of stock which he had to resend to customers. So he refused to pay them for a service they were not providing.

Surely when he found out they were suing him, he could have defended himself in court using receipts, customer complaints etc and any sane judge would have found in his favour. Or even now he could apply to set the judgement aside if he showed his evidence.

Can the claimant not apply to make him bankrupt if he continues to refuse to pay? I seem to recall someone being threatened with that in a previous series.

The elderly woman was a character she had me cracking up when she said "take those sofas you'll be doing me a favour." i'm pretty sure the welsh bailiff was trying not to laugh too.

So the guy with the biggest debt, the dress chap gets away with it.?
The last 2 episodes with "Solicitors" debt leaves a nasty taste "no win no fee" has a lot to answer for.

They can't make him bankrupt no. They could apply to wind up his company but as his assets are probably the dresses which they don't want then there wouldn't be much point.

Blame the claimant for that.

They should have removed goods from the house. It certainly had a lot of electricals in there, take the dresses too. They would have at least made a small dent in the debt. But the claimant stopped them.

Maybe removing goods would have made Mr Poole jump into action, but the claimant tied their hands by only wanting full payment. Ended up with nothing. I bet Poole couldn't believe his luck.

They could only remove goods owned by the business. The dresses were obviously owned by the business as was the laptop by the looks of it but doubt anything else was.

As you know if he was a sole trader then (excuse the pun) they could rip the dress, I mean shirt off him. Looks like he was trading as a limited company, so limited liability then only in respect of the company.

Yes, that's right, he did have a limited company.

Thought they proved the company/business was trading from that address, and as such they could remove goods from that address.

For those that are asking about Episode 16 of the 4th series, I've checked the Sky EPG and Saturdays 5:00pm episode is Episode 18 that was shown on Wednesday, but Episode 16 is available to download on catch up/on demand.

Yes, they clearly stated he was a director of the company so it was Ltd and they could only touch stuff belonging to the company, otherwise I'm pretty sure his house would have gone.

Only if they were owned by the company. As a Ltd company he is not liable for the debt, the company is.

I see, thanks for clearing that up.

These writs are a minefield. For me anyway.

No problem. Ltd companies must be a minefield for them.

Where are they? I asked Channel 5 what's going on and had no response. My neighhbour only watches it for them guys, she records it to watch the next day, when I told her the lads were not in it she deleted it as she said that there is no point watching it then. Wake up channel5

Steve Pinner is on next week's episode.

If you think about it, there are a lot of bailiff pairings to show (Del and Dael, Paul and Steve, Stewart and Elmor, Brian and Del, Ben and Steve, and now the two Welsh bailiffs) so obviously not all of them can be shown every week. Sometimes bailiff pairings aren't shown for a few episodes.

Also, bear in mind that Paul Bohill is now 72, and so likely to be in semi-retirement. There might be less Paul and Steve segments to show.

It's getting a bit old hat now, repetitive each week, you can only do so much of the same thing

Ratings are still strong going into the last few episodes of Series 4, so it's likely that it will get recommissioned for a fifth series. It's Channel 5's highest rating show.

For the same reason that not every soap character is in every episode. There's a lot to choose from and only about 45 minutes of TV to fill.

But I'm sure Channel 5 will change that for your neighbour.

I'm starting to think the same now. It's also surprising how little they actually take away. They threaten to and start making an inventory and then surprise surprise the debtor makes a few phone calls, stumps up some money and agrees a payment plan.

Onto the next one, repeat.

LOL I'm just watching the edition on now, and one of the defendants is claiming they are not called 'Andrew', so the wife says 'You're having a writ against you And...' and cuts off.

She pretends she was about to say 'and' rather than call him 'Andrew'.

Classic.

LOL And at the end he gives an Email address of A.Trantor (although the bailiffs didn't check if it was Trantor or Tranter).

Sad isn't it.

We used to laugh at American TV showing wall to wall repetitive realty TV,now the UK does the same.!

That's human nature for you. It's surprising how you can suddenly find money when they are about to take your brand new 50" tv away and sell it for £50.

That episode was funny .From the second she opens the door and says "there's no TranTOR here" you knew she was lying .It was frustrating that they tried to string it out so long , and even tried to blag it when she called him "And " LOL. Then they find the invoice with his name on it - hysterical .
So Paul Bohill is 72 ?!! he's my fave one to watch, him and Steve .But if they ever got into a fight ,I don't think they'd do too well at their age .
