00:00Calls are growing for tougher oversight of bailiffs, with concerns some people in debt
00:05are not getting the protections campaigners want. A year after ministers said they would
00:11introduce mandatory independent regulation, the Enforcement Conduct Board says there's
00:16still no clear plan. The industry handles millions of cases involving council tax debts
00:21and other unpaid bills. Consumer groups and financial campaigners argue stronger safeguards
00:27are needed against poor practice. The government says it remains committed to reform and is
00:33developing proposals following a consultation, with further details expected soon. For households
00:39facing enforcement, the outcome could affect rights and confidence alike.
