We can\u2019t tell you what to think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that lots of people out there see Enforcement Agents as the \u2018bad guys\u2019, ready and raring to swoop in and have the shirt off peoples\u2019 backs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that decades of industry stereotypes have led to this, and we also know that the media\u2019s representation of how we operate is a big influencer as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being seen as \u2018The Bad Guys\u2019 is something we\u2019ve come to live with, and when we turn up on the doorstep with an eviction notice or a possession order, we\u2019ve become used to the abuse and the accusations that are thrown our way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s all about perception. Perception and understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way that we\u2019re looking to address this, is by reassuring claimants and debtors alike, that our return to work in a post pandemic world, is as safe as it can possibly be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve gone above and beyond with our training programmes, commissioning COVID-19 courses to run alongside our existing Vulnerability courses. These are mandatory for our Agents.
Does that sound like something \u2018The Bad Guys\u2019 would do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve invested in PPE, listened to all the guidelines on the return to enforcement, and committed wholeheartedly to acting responsibly, fairly and with sympathy and understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We always do, but we\u2019ve redoubled that commitment and refocused our efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, if we were \u2018The Bad Guys\u2019 we wouldn\u2019t be doing this, would we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The Bad Guys\u2019 wouldn\u2019t write to debtors, asking them how they\u2019ve been affected by coronavirus, and how this might affect their repayment arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The Bad Guys\u2019 wouldn\u2019t signpost the vulnerable to the right kind of help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The Bad Guys\u2019 wouldn\u2019t help ensure that evictees and evicted trespassers find beds elsewhere on the very same day of the eviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The Bad Guys\u2019 wouldn\u2019t, but #TeamCES would, and we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, does this make us \u2018The Good Guys?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that depends on your perception, and like we said, we can\u2019t tell you what to think, but we feel it is in everyone\u2019s best interests for us to put messages like this across, whenever we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other side of the coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are doing everything we can, and a whole lot more, to try and ensure a safe return to enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call us what you want, good, bad or indifferent. Whatever your perception, our approach to the work we do won\u2019t change, because we are committed to compliance, and passionate about changing the way people see not just us at #TeamCES, but the industry as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it\u2019s not a case of whether we\u2019re \u2018The Good Guys\u2019 or \u2018The Bad Guys\u2019 after all, at least not for us, we\u2019re just doing our jobs to the very best of our abilities, and we\u2019ll keep on doing that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
