A hired ruffian sent to extract money with the threat of removing your goods cos you didnt pay either your council tax or your parking fines. They usually take the original fine and multiply it by 10 to get the fugure that they are gonna demand to be paid ( usually in full at 6.30 am when you are still in bed ) or else! Most bailiffs are 20 stone shaven headed thugs who should belong in Wormwood Scrubs and what they do is the real definition of the phrase " Legalised Daylight Robbery " They belong to the same catogory of people as Traffic Wardens and Traffic Cops - Totally inflexible wankers who are put on this planet to cause misery and upset to people who just want to have a little enjoyment in life. Bailiffs are truly hated but still believe that folks who have nothing and live on the breadline want to make them a cuppa when they call with their van plus their hyper inflated fees and sarky attitudes to remove all the poor buggers worthly goods and leave them sitting on the floor in an empty house - all to pay a parking fine, which was issued by their fellow mate - the Traffic Warden.
