Just out of curiousity, if you lived with parents for example and owed money could a baliff enter the house and take things if they dont belong to you? Surely no otherwise they could go knocking on anyones door taking anyones things!

No they could not take anything of value if it does not belong to the debtor. Just tell your parents to say that everything in the house belongs to them. Also tell parents not to allow them access to the house.

Yes and no, if you let them into the property and you have a room of your own which you probably do in your parents house they could take the things from your room. They can also argue taking the TV from the front room because you might have paid for it and you use it.
Your parents would need to argue that everything in the house belonged to them and sometimes produce receipts for proof of ownership. If your parents have signed anything to say they are liable for you they can take what they want.
Technically if a bailiff comes to your house and the front door etc is open they can come straight in and take things. If they have a court order you have to let them in and your parents would have to prove that the house etc belongs to them. If they do take anything that doesn't belong to you, you would have to fight to get it back at your own expense.

iff you a minor II suppose your parents would be liable for you.
Otherwise you are responsible to pay youre own debts and baliffs would be braking the law taking other people's property to pay for youre debts and would have to replace theses items.
Same goes when your goods are registered on youre bussines and they brake in and take stuff away, who are they o know the difference of youre personal items and youre other. I think its obsurde to grant a power like that, only to show we live in a capitalist society that only cares for the mega instituitions, and is run by people that know nothing about real life.
Sad realy.

In theory No!
but baliffs are not the most intelligent of people, and are employed for their gorilla type qualities so I would treat them with care or get a very vicious dog!

If you have things in possession which don't belong to you than you have top drop it morally,ethically,religiously. But if you are in emergency then you can use it but you have to pay double price of that thing to its owner or you can decide the price with owner.

Yes they can, but it is not legal. You have to sue to stop them. See my answer to the question about the NYC subway search for information on how to proceed.

If they have a court order, they can remove things. By bailiffs do you mean policemen.

Not supposed to, but if someone signed to be your guarantor, then they would be responsible for you.
