Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away!
We're the media face of High Court Enforcement
The popular Channel 5 and Netflix series follows DCBL's High Court Enforcement Agents as they conduct their daily roles of repossessing houses and collecting debts.
Here at DCBL, we’re very proud of the programme and believe that it has changed the face of High Court Enforcement for the better.
“Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away!” is produced by Brinkworth Films and has been entered for multiple awards including BAFTA, the National Television Awards, and was shortlisted for a Grierson. To date, there have been five series, with over 85 episodes.
We feel the programme has humanised the Enforcement Industry and highlights DCBL’s empathetic, fair, yet tenacious work ethos.
Presenting the day-to-day operations of our High Court Enforcement Agents provides a clear and authentic insight into the industry, and this has created an unrivalled and unique brand awareness that is instantly recognised by many. Not only are our agents remembered for their roles within the show, but DCBL as a whole is now known
worldwide as the face of High Court Enforcement within the UK for its ethical and professional approach to debt recovery and enforcement. This has led to the increased success of our collection rates which make us the industry leaders.
