Fresh Start Debt Support
If you've received a letter, text message, or visit from Excel Civil Enforcement Ltd, you may be feeling anxious or overwhelmed. You're not alone. Every year, thousands of people across the UK are contacted by bailiff companies chasing unpaid debts like council tax arrears, parking fines, or business rates. The good news? Help is available — and you may be able to stop bailiff action entirely through a legal debt solution.
Excel Civil Enforcement is a private enforcement agency (commonly known as bailiffs) that works with local councils, magistrates' courts, and government bodies to recover unpaid debts. Once a court or council obtains a liability order or judgment, they can instruct Excel to enforce payment by visiting your home or business. Their enforcement agents operate under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 and must follow strict rules when recovering debt.
Excel Civil Enforcement may pursue a range of debts, including:
If you're unsure whether the debt is genuine, you have the right to request proof and clarification before making any payments.
In most cases, Excel cannot force entry on their first visit unless they are collecting specific types of debt (like criminal fines). They can only enter peacefully through a door you open. You are not legally required to let them in, and it is often better to communicate from a window, through the letterbox, or by phone instead.
If Excel has already gained entry before, they may return and use what's known as a Controlled Goods Agreement to seize items — but this can be stopped with the right support.
