Where to File a Jacobs Enforcement Complaint?

If you have complained to Jacobs Enforcement with no resolution, your next step should be to contact the creditor. Alternatively, you can copy the creditor on all complaint correspondence sent to the bailiffs because creditors can stop an enforcement agency from further action. By copying creditors, you are keeping them informed at the same time as the bailiff so they can tell the agency to stop.

Council

If the creditor is your local council, you can find contact information on Gov.uk. The Gov.uk website also provides information on who to contact regarding court fines or fees. If the debt pertains to income tax or VAT, you will need to complain to HM Revenue and Customs, using the form on their website. Child support payments should be discussed with the nearest DWP office. If you can't resolve the complaint after speaking with the creditor, you can complain to trade associations or ombudspersons.

Trade Associations

Depending on the type of debt being collected, you can complain to a bailiff trade body if you have not resolved the issue or the agency fails to respond in 28 days. However, the enforcement agency can continue its collection process while the issue is under review. If the debt relates to magistrate court fines or child support payments, complain to the Civil Enforcement Association.

Enforcement complaints regarding the High Court can be emailed to complaints@hceoa.org.uk.
You may also contact the association by calling 0844 824 4575.

Ombudspersons

Ombudspersons oversee creditors who behave improperly while attempting to collect a government-related debt. Whether it's tax- or court-related, you must first contact your bailiff and creditor before an ombudsperson will look at your case. If you feel their methods are so egregious that they should lose their certification, you can take them to court.
