Update on our Putting bailiffs on the spot campaign
2:53pm Friday 14th September 2007
The Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement (TCE) 2007 Bill received Royal Assent on 19 July 2007 and now becomes the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. This legislation contained a whole raft of measures relating to the enforcement of debt and remedies providing relief from indebtedness. While Citizens Advice welcomed the parts on debt relief (debt relief orders, enforcement restriction orders, reform of administration orders and debt management schemes) we had serious concerns over some of the proposals relating to debt enforcement. In particular, we were concerned about parts of the reforms to bailiff law and also to proposals that would make it easier for creditors to obtain a charging order to secure their debt against the borrower's property. These concerns were such that we decided to lobby on the bailiffs law reforms in particular throughout the passage of the Bill.

Seeing Fairtrade in action
A few days ago I went on the hunt for a sugar plantation, with Sue, a retired nurse from Britain who is over in Malawi doing six months’ voluntary work.

At home Sue buys all her sugar from the charity Traidcraft – so we were looking for the co-operative who their white sugar.
