A COUPLE who felt 'scared' after a television bailiff entered their property unlawfully have said their story can help protect more innocent victims from debt collectors.

Leigh Bozkurt who lives in Crown Wood, Bracknell with her partner Andrew Turner, filmed the ordeal after a bailiff from Channel Five's show Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away! let himself in through the front door in September, 2018.

The woman recorded on her phone as the bailiffs refused to leave the house, searching through private drawers and wardrobes in their home.

A hearing at Brighton County Court last week ruled TV bailiff Gary Brown, should have made more thorough checks on the couples home before entering the property.

It was proven the couple did not owe any money and their address had been given to a collection company by the real debtor.

Andrew Turner, said: "Very few people beat a bailiff and he was an unlawful bailiff, he was not a fit and proper person.
