The Ministry of Justice has not received any such complaints, nor has it made any such assessment.

The Government is clear that aggressive enforcement action is not acceptable. Protecting the rights of the public is our top priority, which is why we have introduced robust rules on what goods an enforcement agent can or cannot take, how and when they can enter premises and what fees they can charge.
