My dad did debt collection in the early 70s in America. He could find anyone in the country without the internet or cellphones. He says that today it’s way easier than ever.
The next issue is that these days people are less socially connected and disconnecting from the internet can very well be enough. Plus theres more people now, with hella lot of places to hide.

Am I the only one who finds a gentle rap and “Can you come to the door please sir?” through the post slot, more intimidating than yelling and cursing? 😂
That's because you seem to have a strong moral compass. I agree with you. If someone is cursing at me and yelling, I find it MUCH easier to ignore them since they clearly have not shown me any courtesy.
Typical greedy living above their means type of people. We see a lot of them on here while usually i imagine its mostly people who cannot pay the bills the ones showcased here are greedy and perfect for tv lol
I love it when they repo cars, like ripping out someone's heart. 🤣Business shell game, debts in one person's name, and business in another. Shut it Down, a restaurant without a stove, a bar without a refrigerator. Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
Respect to the one guy who said let me call my lawyer, talked to him, and called right back and paid. I mean it should never get this far anyway, but still that is rare.
The main problem is that the people who owe money think they can argue their case with the collectors. They are not the judges. It’s past that point and the case is decided. If they disagree, they have to go back to court.
The burring your head in the sand is so true. I did it for 10 years I didn’t answer unknown numbers didn’t open unrecognized mail hell I didn’t answer my door unless someone had called first. After awhile everything fell off my credit and it took me another 10 years to build my credit back up to be able to purchase a house. Now the only bill I don’t completely wipe out at the end of the month is my mortgage which I always pay an extra 10% to wipe out early.
It’s easier to find some people but depending on the area harder to catch them, my son (a minor13) was mowing someone’s yard and a guy with a badge serviced him. The person was on vacation. I called to tell the person and the collector he’s 13 and was only there to mow yard. The man actually said if my son didn’t pay he was going to jail. He was so scared, and I was beyond mad. These officers did it correctly not threatening a 13yr old just mowing grass for pocket money.
Wait and play games, the tow truck gets paid whether they tow or not. This stuff goes on for a year or more before someone has to pay for it to go through the high court, and then to have bailiffs go out to deal with it. There is an office to handle paperwork and make sure it’s all done legally, movers and storage and it all costs money! If you put it off, it costs you more. Facts.
@lukjad007 but it was dispatched. If it hadn't left the lot, then yeah it wouldn't make sense but since the tow truck left and was already on route to the house, that is money clocking by the km, as well as the service itself. Edited spelling
Full body armor, SWAT Team of 10, tow truck drivers, staff to clear the house, a lawyer present, Red Cross staff, and of course every community group in protest per site.
Yeah, but that's additional burden for them to auction the goods. It's way better and cost efficient for them to collect money in cash or bank transfer.
On on the old show, I remember that the agents were eager to get the door open because they would put their foot in the door and refuse to leave. Is this practice now outlawed? I also remember the time limits given the debtor as being shorter. The agents would be in the house or business and start assessing inventory to seize. I don’t see that in these new shows. The agents were polite, but firm.
8:48 Just noticed the pub owner’s car has different colored plates on front & back. Is that usual? I know Europe has much better plate recognition software than here in USA - a means to avoid detection?
I am not rich, but darn I am greatful I ha no loan on my 2017 car and I can manage my mortgage on my house. Sp stressful it must be to feel you drown in bills. But not doing anything is the worst thing they can do.
So the municipality doesn’t renew his license to keep a tenant, but they don’t let him evict the tenant either or stop sending him the money. Then they then they fine him 10,000& for having an illegal tenant… got it. Britain sucks! The remedy should be not sending him money if he doesn’t have a landlord license. If it is his fault a few hundred quid fine are most.
Exactly. This is soft tyranny here. Authorities bullying a man for no actual reason. There is no victim besides their own political ego. SO stupid. Pisses me off to see regular folks bullied like this. Its so wrong. So VERY wrong.
@@james64468I mean the US should start requiring a license for it too. There are too many bad landlords who don’t know the laws or have unsafe conditions.
30:00 he says he was paid rent for a long time, even though he didn't have the license to rent out. Its really quite simple, you could have declined and returned the money, but you took it. That means you're guilty.
Because he didn't dare get a license to do what he wants with his own property? Screw that and screw the court telling you what they do and do not permit you to do with what's yours.
35:23 - 37:23 Wow, what a difference in approaches by the male agent of one team and the female agent of another team. And such different results! I am glad the female officer is so kind and yet straightforward; her results are A-1.
Mr. PubMan at 9:50 Me...when he got in the car, I would have been seriously tempted to stick my thumbs in my armpits and flap my arms while doing a silly little dance, in honor of silly-chickens running away, buuut this is likely a sign that I might not be the best at that job! :D But...well, being an obnoxious bully-boy and THEN turning tail and fleeing, he IS being a coward, so there it is.

Insecure people have their self image wrapped up in an expensive car, trying to project an image of success to the rest of the world. Better to live within your means and have no money worries.
@@arh1234 same honestly same but I was just thinking if I knew my car was behind Payment, I would definitely be keeping my car in the garage that’s for sure
A 10k debt will result in 30-40k removed cause its whatever they can get at auction. Anything over is given back to the debtor but they can't go back and seize more so they make sure they get enough.. Just brutal.
Our laws are different in the US, and they prevent people just taking your stuff. Also we don't have "councils" that own all the properties and then rent them out. They couldn't even enter our properties here. Plus they take whatever stuff including cars unless the proper owner can prove it's theirs without getting into the car. That equals a felony here in the US, which allows you to defend yourself from the felony. Even auto repo must prove the car is the right one including the dash VIN, or they get arrested and will be fired.
Also jacking the amount 50% higher "because a tow truck is on the way" would be illegal here. Tow fees are set by law by each state at a normal amount, usually about $100-$150. Stealing a n auto worth $30k for a 2k debt and then you jack it up cause the tow truck is on the way.. highway robbery by thug companies given permission by what I'm told is a corrupt law system.
This is the last resort after the debtor has failed to settle and lost the court case. In many cases they have enough assets to pay but prefer to screw other people.
You couldn't be more wrong. It works nearly the same in most states, varying only in detail. If someone owes you money and you prove your case in court, you can get a writ of execution and have law enforcement seize all non-exempt property to settle the debt.
Let's go to the UK and live beyond our means (and the generous hand outs), they don't have the stones to deal with my scheming mind and guile. But sooner or later the Bailiffs show up and you get sorted.👍
something i could never understand. i owe a debt, i am unable to pay the debt, high court writ issued, i am confronted with the debt, i am unable to pay the debt, the debt goes up? still can't pay the debt, the debt goes up again? every subsequent contact i am unable to pay the debt and it increases every time?
Not really. These people order goods or services and then don't want to pay for them. They often have expensive cars, live in nice houses. They usually have what they owe in their account. They're just trying to get away with something. Imagine if you had a small business and people tried to get away with not paying. Hardly Dickensian poverty.
I wonder why they don't the renters security like you can in the US? You can not touch the rent but the security is all yours. Then they would have to pay the security again, then you take that. Why can't they take what they owe out of their bank accounts if they have one?
The thing I find cold about things like this is like that one guy said. "I am entitled to seek legal advice on a matter I have no knowledge of." As a young man who knows nothing, I understand, verily. But the first thing about law is that "Ignorance to the law excuses no one". The thing that bothers me though, is that this is making them sign a payment plan (A contract) under duress, is that part of things being legal, if laws are based on ethics and morals, isn't it against the morals of contract law (because usually, contracts are either unenforceable or voidable when one of the parties are forced to sign under duress.)
You're forgetting that there was a years-long legal battle, that led these people to the point they are today. They aren't being blindsided. Whether through defiance or inaction, they were directly responsible for the situation getting to the point it is at today. They may, in fact, be innocent... But they had numerous opportunities to argue that and they didn't.
@TheEvox81 Yeah I don't doubt that, been there done that, askin for years and when I turn up suddenly I'm the villain. But what I wonder is if supercedes duress, because in my country, stressing out the person signing the contract is grounds for invalidation. Like if the groom asks the bride to sign a prenup on the wedding, even if it was discussed in advance because social/emotional pressures are coercion/duress.
He was very lucky they even offered a payment plan, others didn't. If he balked at paying because of duress they'd be like ok then pay it all right now.
Does everyone own their cars in Britain? Why do they all assume these cars are owned by the person who owes? Do they not lease cars over there? Does no one have a car they’re still paying on over there? Like why they always assuming these people own their cars?
We could use these agents in the states. We were awarded almost 5 k sone years back and never received a penny. Once court awards money it’s a done deal. No enforcement afterwards
The woman bailiff handled her case correctly she gave practical options like payment plan doable by the old gentleman but how come the BMW bailiff didn’t do that? Perhaps the man didn’t have the $2k+ money on hand to pay 😮
If the debt climbs by £1,700 just for a tow truck? Is Britain really that expensive or are these agents just becoming goons? I can understand if the tow truck fees are around £200 then that person may have paid it.
No, it’s towing, storage and auction fees. If you have. A general court order with court fees, then have to pay to have it taken into the High Court, and then you have to pay the office to verify addresses and do car ownership and whether there is any money owed (lien) and the bailiffs to travel however many times it takes to enforce the warrant. They take deposits with payment plans also….They aren’t goons. They are a lifeline for people who have had favourable decisions made by the courts, or everyone would just ignore the decisions of the courts.
@@candacecurtis5739 I’m not getting into the issue of the debt. The fact that there is a court order it means due process has been carried out. My point was that the tow truck was only called. It had not even arrived on scene. Storage and all subsequent expenses don’t even enter the picture. Asking for £1700 is absolutely ridiculous.
If people are being cheated by the counsel then they should go to the news stations and share it to the public. Seems like a lot of people are cheated by the counsels. I'd be calling news stations nation wide. Then maybe someone would take him seriously.
The man didn’t fill out his paperwork, lost his license and kept accepting the money for the rental for his buddy to live there. Wouldn’t pay a solicitor. So much easier just to bitch and protest.
Wearing a mask below your nose defeats the purpose, and before any one gets smart, I don't care about how you feel, wear it right or not at all, gracious😂
@@johng4093 I'm Canadian, and I think she is Canadian. The rhythm of her speech and accent is quite consistent with the way a lot of people in southwestern and southern Ontario speak. She doesn't draw out her vowels like some Americans do, and the pace of her speech is faster than you might find in many Midwestern states. I also happen to live in southwestern Ontario. She might very well be an immigrant and permanent resident of the UK because her parents or grandparents are British, and the current immigration rules allow for immigration on that basis.
How can it go from £2000 to £5000 if a car is towed? I could see an administrative fee and a tow fee and a storage fee for maybe &500 at most? Since when is it £1500+ for a tow truck? That’s criminal
If you buy a car in the US it is not your car till you register it and you buy plates. It is really not the sellers either. The car is in limbo till that is done. If that car was really sold to the neighbor should she not have paper work to prove it. See if is resllu signed over title or are they trying to play a scam? Don't they have a title or some form that can prove the neighbor bought the car? I would think so wouldn't you? If they don't have that then they did not buy the car. Then all the collectors would have to do is see the signed over title, plates or something in the person who says she bought the car?
These row-townhouse neighbourhoods are hundreds of years old and have no side spaces in between. The bins are put on the sidewalks on collection day and pulled back behind a front wall if possible. There is no other solution.
So many hostile comments. It's simple (not necessarily easy)- borrow, pay it back. Sell possessions to do so if necessary. It takes a long time and a lot of money to go through the courts to come to this point, including in the US. Don't get violent about it, just renegotiate the debt if needed, but pay it. Then this isn't needed.
SO many brain dead Americans posting this nonsense, as if their precious guns means they can defy paying debts. Fact is repo men can and do come and take your car away; you have to be living under a rock not to know this is an everyday occurrence in YOUR state,
yes, that's the way governments rule, creating depth, using your assets, holding them to ransom, and forcing you to employ expensive lawyers. and creating more costs. and fees. well, this is going to end not well, the resold will be, such ultimatums can be used by the people as well. my bank in Holland wanted to know how I used my account. so I said this takes me time to collect the documented evidence I need to be paid for my time, no reply as I was talking to AI , so now they charge me monthly fees, while my account is suspended. funny buggers. banks make decisions over our money. and they want to go cashless. ? really!

@@alexneidermeyer284or just filled the form in, or hired a solicitor.
I honestly don't understand it, maybe because laws here are so different.
something i could never understand. i owe a debt, i am unable to pay the debt, high court writ issued, i am confronted with the debt, i am unable to pay the debt, the debt goes up? still can't pay the debt, the debt goes up again? every subsequent contact i am unable to pay the debt and it increases every time?
it cost money to collect money; it's not free
Imagine if Dickens was still alive. This show would give him enough material for 3 or 4 more novels. 😮
Not really. These people order goods or services and then don't want to pay for them. They often have expensive cars, live in nice houses. They usually have what they owe in their account. They're just trying to get away with something. Imagine if you had a small business and people tried to get away with not paying. Hardly Dickensian poverty.
I am almost convinced that the narrator was in my remedial English class with Mrs. Robinson back in the 1970's.
The lady with the eye piercing sounds like JoJO Siwa...
Who is the narrator in the beginning sounds like DREAM to me hahaha
The key here is don’t answer the door, remove your name from anything not inside your home, use a fake name with your neighbour’s. Easy peasy.
The fees are outrageous. A loan shark would be cheaper.
well, it's gone to the highest court in the country..
What happens when they catch them ?
I think this is better than Can't Pay...
I wonder why they don't the renters security like you can in the US? You can not touch the rent but the security is all yours. Then they would have to pay the security again, then you take that. Why can't they take what they owe out of their bank accounts if they have one?
Anyone else wondering how he’s gonna get his car out of where the tow truck dropped it?
The thing I find cold about things like this is like that one guy said. "I am entitled to seek legal advice on a matter I have no knowledge of."
As a young man who knows nothing, I understand, verily. But the first thing about law is that "Ignorance to the law excuses no one".
The thing that bothers me though, is that this is making them sign a payment plan (A contract) under duress, is that part of things being legal, if laws are based on ethics and morals, isn't it against the morals of contract law (because usually, contracts are either unenforceable or voidable when one of the parties are forced to sign under duress.)
You're forgetting that there was a years-long legal battle, that led these people to the point they are today. They aren't being blindsided. Whether through defiance or inaction, they were directly responsible for the situation getting to the point it is at today. They may, in fact, be innocent... But they had numerous opportunities to argue that and they didn't.
@TheEvox81 Yeah I don't doubt that, been there done that, askin for years and when I turn up suddenly I'm the villain.
But what I wonder is if supercedes duress, because in my country, stressing out the person signing the contract is grounds for invalidation. Like if the groom asks the bride to sign a prenup on the wedding, even if it was discussed in advance because social/emotional pressures are coercion/duress.
Here in the US if you sign and put under duress with it.. it's ruled invalid.
He was very lucky they even offered a payment plan, others didn't. If he balked at paying because of duress they'd be like ok then pay it all right now.
“Everyone can be found.” They said…try telling those who were trying to find Lord Lucan
I would watch this but you spend time explaining the same thing over and over
That’s what the fast forward button is for.
Does everyone own their cars in Britain? Why do they all assume these cars are owned by the person who owes? Do they not lease cars over there? Does no one have a car they’re still paying on over there? Like why they always assuming these people own their cars?
The bloody council finding him £10 K for not having a proper licence. Oh , and they'll give this to asylum seekers. You bet!
We could use these agents in the states. We were awarded almost 5 k sone years back and never received a penny. Once court awards money it’s a done deal. No enforcement afterwards
The woman bailiff handled her case correctly she gave practical options like payment plan doable by the old gentleman but how come the BMW bailiff didn’t do that? Perhaps the man didn’t have the $2k+ money on hand to pay 😮
awesome now this was the career B-rad took, glad he's now in the UK
Anyone know where Casey's accent is from? Sounds like american with british mixed in. Very surprising to hear.
Canada ❤
I didn't even know Canada had an accent. I've been Canadian my whole life.
@@ameliawilder28 😂😂 we don’t think we have an accent, but my British and Aussie friends and family assure me we do.
Even Americans know Canadians have a different accent.
My Aussie bf tells me I say “a boat” instead of about, amongst other things lol.
they all wait and incur extra charges,,stuoid
If the debt climbs by £1,700 just for a tow truck? Is Britain really that expensive or are these agents just becoming goons? I can understand if the tow truck fees are around £200 then that person may have paid it.
Exactly.
lmao if that person didnt ignore the debt until collection bailiffs had to be utilized, tow fee is a non issue
That $200 climbed after year, after year of ignoring that bill, same as not paying your cc bill that amount climbs
No, it’s towing, storage and auction fees. If you have. A general court order with court fees, then have to pay to have it taken into the High Court, and then you have to pay the office to verify addresses and do car ownership and whether there is any money owed (lien) and the bailiffs to travel however many times it takes to enforce the warrant. They take deposits with payment plans also….They aren’t goons. They are a lifeline for people who have had favourable decisions made by the courts, or everyone would just ignore the decisions of the courts.
@@candacecurtis5739 I’m not getting into the issue of the debt. The fact that there is a court order it means due process has been carried out. My point was that the tow truck was only called. It had not even arrived on scene. Storage and all subsequent expenses don’t even enter the picture. Asking for £1700 is absolutely ridiculous.
I can't figure out Casey's accent! Any ideas?
If people are being cheated by the counsel then they should go to the news stations and share it to the public. Seems like a lot of people are cheated by the counsels. I'd be calling news stations nation wide. Then maybe someone would take him seriously.
The man didn’t fill out his paperwork, lost his license and kept accepting the money for the rental for his buddy to live there. Wouldn’t pay a solicitor. So much easier just to bitch and protest.
We don't even need a license for something like that in parts of US I'm familiar with. But you should pay taxes on that income.
These repo guys wouldn't make it through one day in the U.S.
Sure they would repo guys do it every day if they were in the stes they would be allowed to conceal carry
Repo men do this sort of thing every day in the USA. The key word is “repo”.
They would be armed.
@@jacksons1010 Yeah. American repo men do it every day in the USA.
Some are quite good at what they do.
Casey doesn't have much of an accent, I'm guessing she is not from the UK.
Wearing a mask below your nose defeats the purpose, and before any one gets smart, I don't care about how you feel, wear it right or not at all, gracious😂
Says the sheep following government propaganda. Face diapers!
Try and stop me getting into that car.
Then say hello to the police.
Doesn’t cost that much to get a tow truck out
stop paying to those illegal migrants for their stay and food and pass that money to the legal residents who are really in financial trouble.
"Public services"
What is a middle aged American woman doing in this decidedly British show? That upper midwest accent should be in an episode of Fargo!😄
Upper Midwest has many similarities with Canadian accent, so opinions vary on this point.
@@johng4093 I'm Canadian, and I think she is Canadian. The rhythm of her speech and accent is quite consistent with the way a lot of people in southwestern and southern Ontario speak. She doesn't draw out her vowels like some Americans do, and the pace of her speech is faster than you might find in many Midwestern states.
I also happen to live in southwestern Ontario.
She might very well be an immigrant and permanent resident of the UK because her parents or grandparents are British, and the current immigration rules allow for immigration on that basis.
I like to see this in east l.a
The debtor alone needs to be bullied into paying. No one else. I otherwise like the idea of bailiffs to collect debts..
How can it go from £2000 to £5000 if a car is towed? I could see an administrative fee and a tow fee and a storage fee for maybe &500 at most? Since when is it £1500+ for a tow truck? That’s criminal
Agree, that is highway robbery!
10:01 jerk tried to block that man from leaving! Going to put himself in a situation to get hurt and then blame the other person for his stupidity!
These are repeats!
If you buy a car in the US it is not your car till you register it and you buy plates. It is really not the sellers either. The car is in limbo till that is done. If that car was really sold to the neighbor should she not have paper work to prove it. See if is resllu signed over title or are they trying to play a scam? Don't they have a title or some form that can prove the neighbor bought the car? I would think so wouldn't you? If they don't have that then they did not buy the car. Then all the collectors would have to do is see the signed over title, plates or something in the person who says she bought the car?
They should change the name of that pub to "The Royal Douche".
Dislike Britain where neighbourhoods have all the garbage cans lined up in front of the houses. Yuck!
These row-townhouse neighbourhoods are hundreds of years old and have no side spaces in between.
The bins are put on the sidewalks on collection day and pulled back behind a front wall if possible.
There is no other solution.
where exactly would you like them to put them ?
With all the pot smoking in London, you can be sure there are plenty of high court writs.
So many hostile comments. It's simple (not necessarily easy)- borrow, pay it back. Sell possessions to do so if necessary. It takes a long time and a lot of money to go through the courts to come to this point, including in the US. Don't get violent about it, just renegotiate the debt if needed, but pay it. Then this isn't needed.
Just wait n see how bad it gets in the next 20 years. 30 yo today are mostly worthless 20 yo even worse n those after that are 99% effed
Try to take somebody's car in my state you better be wearing a bulletproof vest
Pay your debts and you won't be in that position
Yep pey your bills if you bring out deadly force against a court order Bubba going to be taking payment out your ass tough guy.
Was the second amendment the biggest mistake in american history??😅😅😅
@@hellboip7876 some people loose a job etc stop acting like you know every situation
SO many brain dead Americans posting this nonsense, as if their precious guns means they can defy paying debts. Fact is repo men can and do come and take your car away; you have to be living under a rock not to know this is an everyday occurrence in YOUR state,
American debt collector in UK?
The UK is such a DUMP!!
Casey has a deep horsey cigarette voice.
Is that female agent an American
Canadian accent.
She sounds as if she is from Jersey or Pennsy.
yes, that's the way governments rule, creating depth, using your assets, holding them to ransom, and forcing you to employ expensive lawyers. and creating more costs. and fees. well, this is going to end not well, the resold will be, such ultimatums can be used by the people as well. my bank in Holland wanted to know how I used my account. so I said this takes me time to collect the documented evidence I need to be paid for my time, no reply as I was talking to AI , so now they charge me monthly fees, while my account is suspended. funny buggers. banks make decisions over our money. and they want to go cashless. ? really!
