## Resource

Bailiffs in the UK are still largely unregulated a year after the government promised oversight, leaving millions vulnerable to unfair treatment. The Enforcement Conduct Board warns there’s no clear plan, and many companies ignore rules or avoid ECB supervision. With over seven million cases handled annually and billions collected, the industry’s lack of consistent standards is alarming — especially after a major firm was caught overcharging and forced to refund. Consumer advocates like Martin Lewis call it “outrageous,” citing widespread distress and poor treatment. Public support, debt charities, and even most enforcement firms agree: mandatory regulation is urgently needed to ensure fair, consistent treatment for everyone facing enforcement action.
