Should you pay One Source Enforcement?
Yes. You should pay One Source Enforcement Services as soon as you receive a Notice of Enforcement letter – unless told otherwise by debt charities. This will stop them from coming to your home and prevent any more enforcement agent fees from being charged.
Always speak with One Source Enforcement Services if you are experiencing financial difficulty. The sooner you contact them the better as they are more likely to accept a payment plan at an earlier stage. If you have received a letter, use the contact number on the letter to get in touch.
One Source Notice of Enforcement
The first time you hear from OneSource will be through a Notice of Enforcement letter. This is a letter that explains the company is chasing the debt on behalf of the court or local authority. They will be chasing debts like road traffic, business rates, council tax, commercial rent, sundry debts, ANPR debt repayment.
It will ask you to pay via their website. They will provide details of how to pay or to get in touch to discuss a payment plan if you’re experiencing financial insecurity.
It’s called a Notice of Enforcement because it gives you seven days to pay, and if you don’t, the company’s enforcement agents will come to your property. One Source Enforcement Services add a £75 fee to your total debt when they send this letter.

How to stop a Notice of Enforcement?
The only way to stop bailiffs from getting involved and a subsequent Notice of Enforcement is to pay your council tax debt (or whatever it is you owe) before it gets to this stage. Make a payment or agree on a payment plan once a judge has asked you to pay. One Source Enforcement Services will only get involved if you’re ignoring previous (court) requests to pay.
You can stop One Source agents from coming to your door if you’re disabled, elderly, pregnant, a single parent, or have a mental illness. Speak to Citizens Advice to see if you are classed as a vulnerable person, and let One Source Enforcement Services know if you are.
What happens if you ignore a Notice of Enforcement?
If you ignore a Notice of Enforcement the enforcement agents can come to your home after seven clear days have passed. They may arrive early to make sure you’re home.
Once at your property, they will ask you to make a full payment and may still consider accepting a payment plan with a lump sum upfront. However, they are no longer obligated to accept a payment plan. They may decide that repossessing your valuables has a better outcome for the court or their client.
If they decide to seize goods, these may be eventually sold at an auction to clear the debt – which will be increased by at least £235 upon the first visit.

One Source Enforcement Services reviews
There aren’t many online reviews on One Source Enforcement Services online. Those that are present paint the company in a negative light. Here’s what a couple of reviewers had to say:
“They don’t care! I understand now how people choose to take their own lives due to their bullying tactics. I cannot believe that Waltham Forest Council would enlist the services of such shark-like operations!”
- Samantha M (Trustpilot)
“New world criminals! Power abuse, threatening behaviour!”

Do you have to let debt collectors in?
You don’t have to let debt collectors or bailiffs into your home. Only enforcement agents have the right to repossess assets and goods once a judge has ordered you to pay (when required). But you still don’t have to let them inside.
An enforcement agent is allowed to enter an open or unlocked door, but they cannot force their way inside or climb through an open window. For this reason, you might want to only communicate with One Source Enforcement Services agents via the letterbox or an upstairs window.
