Offer protection of vulnerable debtors in Taking Control of Goods Regulations
Taking Control of Goods National Standards contains guidance for Enforcement Agents when dealing with vulnerable debtors - this guidance is unclear and results in vulnerable people being exploited unnecessarily and new Regulations to clarify this should be debated by Parliament
Guidance on enforcing debts against debtors in vulnerable situations contained in the Taking Control of Goods National Standards, issued by the MOJ in April 2014, does not go far enough to protect those individuals. Enforcement Agents and their Creditors do not take steps to protect such individuals, as is clearly required in the Standards, and Parliament should debate this issue with a view to clarify requirements and issue legally enforceable Regulations to protect those individuals.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
It's clear that you're concerned about vulnerable debtors, but we're not sure what specific action you would like Government or Parliament to take.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
