1. Come to your home and demand you repay your debt in full

3. Sell your property at an auction to recover payment

The staffs that work at Marston Holdings are bailiffs and high court enforcement officers. This means that they have jurisdiction to go above and beyond what a normal debt collector can do. However, they are not allowed to come to your home and ask for any repayment unless a court has ordered the repayment. A high court officer is also able to use "reasonable force" to gain entry into your home.
