What happens

Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away! is a British factual documentary series on Channel 5. It follows the work of High Court enforcement officers (previously known as sheriff's officers) as they execute privately obtained High Court writs across England and Wales on behalf of private clients, on those who have failed to make repayments on alleged debts or refuse to vacate a property. The series was first broadcast on 24 February 2014. In series 1 and 2, the show featured High Court enforcement agents (HCEAs) from a private limited company called High Court Solutions. The subsequent series featured HCEAs from Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd (DCBL). Five series of the programme were broadcast from 2014 to 2018. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
