(Good) News! In June, I said on here that it was “outrageous that we still don’t have a proper independent regulator of bailiffs”.
Today govt's just announced it'll introduce compulsory independent regulation of bailiffs in Eng & Wales - something @MMHPI and I've long campaigned on. My response, on behalf of the charity:
"Sadly, you're over three times more likely to be in debt crisis if you have a mental health problem, one result of which is that most people who get a bailiff knocking at their door are vulnerable.
Many bailiffs behave fairly – but some have got away with acting with impunity due to the lack of mandatory independent regulation. We've long campaigned for that to change as aggressive debt collection can and does destroy lives.
So we're delighted the Government has listened and made today's bailiffs announcement – it's a genuine step forward! Bailiffs will have to comply with the rules or lose their licence. And because regulation is mandatory not opt-in, it should be easier in future to bring in faster, more ambitious, compassionate rules. Let's hope so."

@RoyalMail I had a parcel collected today, with email confirmation. I have now just had another stating the parcel could not be collected. Please could you advise?
@itvMLshow Our Bulb direct debit has gone from £90PM to £170, is there anything we can do? We live in a new build house and the increase seems well above what it should be even with the current price increases that are happening #MartinLewis
@RoyalMailHelp I sent a personalised item to a customer via 24 hour tracked. It was signed for on the 5th May but my customer has just contacted me to say it hasn't been received. It's not been signed for by them either. She has had non delivery of other parcels to. Please help!

@Hermesparcels Fuming is not the word! Neighbours parcel chucked in our flowerbed, driver took photo and then proceeded to put the parcel back in his van 🤬. Not only haven't they got their parcel, without @ring it would have looked like we stole it!
