Did you know that in 2022 – 2023 the London Borough of Barnet had the 2nd highest resort to the use of bailiffs (34,956 times) in the entire UK to collect debt from its residents? 

A recent Freedom of Information request for more up-to-date numbers shows little change. We are advocating for a more compassionate approach to debt collection that prioritises resident wellbeing. Less pressure, more support!
Hats off to our community friends in Bexley, Hackney, Kensington & Chelsea, and Newham who made NO referrals over the same time span.
