HUMMING

Sir! What are you up to?

I'm, er, on my way to work.

Right, this is what's going to happen. If you don't pay

and you remove that vehicle,

I'm going to have to inform the police that it's stolen.

I'm already on my way to work, so...

Right, that vehicle is now owned by the court.

Now this is all on camera. I have to tell you, if you remove that vehicle

it is technically stealing.

The best thing that you can do right now is to get this cleared.

I'll give you half an hour.

You're jo...ha... You're joking, aren't you? Half an hour?

Half an... Are you serious?

I'm well within my right to seize this vehicle right now,

but I'm not doing that, am I? No. I'm prepared to help you.

It's in YOUR best interest to find the £507 now, today. Get that paid off.

All right? Yeah. That is the best that I can do, sir, if I'm honest.

Where's new-job-boy, Mum? He's up. He knows I've done his toast.

Right, Macey. Can you pack that away now, please?

Can you get ready for school as well? Hollie, can you help her?

Oops. What is it with kids and slime?

Are you going to be raking it in, then? Yeah.

Probably £1,500 a month. Yeah?

Plus I'll be on my bike, tearing it up. Carefully.

Yeah, and also, can you dress up warmly,

cos you don't want to aggravate your asthma. Yeah, Mum, yeah.

I just want you to be safe. I'm really proud of you, though.

We're all so proud of you. You're taking the Mick!

No, seriously. You're doing a good thing.

You finally got up off your bum, and you got a job.

You know, riding around on your little moped. It's great.

How are you getting to the service centre? Have you thought of a route?

Cos I got an app. I got the sat nav.

What are you doing? Aw!

Can you put that back?

No! No! Not at breakfast.

My Coco Pops! Not funny!

Bye. See ya.

Bye. Bye, darling. Bye.

SCOOTER ENGINE

You'll mainly be delivering between hospitals.

Time-critical. Think you can manage? Yeah.

This is a confirmation to tender to supply courier services

to CitySprint - in other words, a contract.

And this is your courier handbook. Bullet points are as follows.

You will be supplying us with courier services

as a self-employed person, not as an employee or worker.

As a self-employed person, you're not entitled to claim unfair

dismissal, discrimination, any minimum wage, pension contributions,

sick pay, or holiday pay.

CitySprint is under no obligation to give you work at any time.

Being available as much as possible will help

you to increase your earnings and taking jobs which are nearby

is likely to result in less dead mileage and increase...

What's...what's...what's dead miles? It's, er, it's in the handbook.

You are an independent business, so you pay your own costs such

as fuel and vehicle costs, as well as any traffic fines, and you'll be

charged for the hire of communications equipment and uniform.

A key to CitySprint...

Sorry, did you say charged? Er, yeah, for the courier pack. 24 quid a week.

Key to CitySprint's success is its reputation and professionalism.

It is therefore vital that couriers give a good impression

of CitySprint as their subcontracted courier.

You are your own boss, so you have complete flexibility to choose

when and where you work, giving you full control over your life

and earning potential. The contractor warrants and represents that he has read

and understood the handbook and is aware of and understands

the nature of the services that shall be provided by him from time

to time to CitySprint.

Um, can Bentley have a word with you?

All right. Yeah, downstairs.

Ah, all right, mate?

Um...

Listen, um, I've been talking this over with your mum.

We both saw how upset you were about the bike.

About the job and that. So...

What do you think if I get you a bike, and you pay me back in instalments?

I found a couple, second-hand, on the website.

Aren't you going to say something?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah? Cheers.

Right, well, cool. Well, er, let's go down there tomorrow. Yeah.

Yeah, no worries, man. Cool.

Aw!

Yeah.

Aw! Cool.

All this can be yours for 13,499. Now available with 0% interest.

That's the...that's the one. Yeah. Wow! That's the one!

Ah. Sorry. Just sold that.

You, um, you got anything else?

Er, not second-hand, I'm afraid. Well, we'll just go somewhere else.

Well, have you thought about buying new?

Well, I can't, um, can't stretch to that.

I know this is going to sound like a sales pitch,

but we can sell you a brand-new one at 0% interest,

so that actually works out cheaper than buying second-hand.

Take this one - interest free, you're looking at £73 a month.

It's for your boy, is it? Yeah.

Er, well, no. I'm not his... Well, he's my son.

Can I have a word? Mmm?

The thing is, I'm still paying off finance on our cars.

Do you think I'll still get the credit? I can check for you.

What's your employment status?

I'm a chauffeur.

Self-employed. Yeah, just a sec.

So...

£73 a month. How does that sound? Can you afford it? Yeah. Yeah.

Sure? Yeah, of course.

Approved. Hey!

Well done. I'll just grab the paperwork. Wow!

I'll pay you back.

I know you will, mate.

Not a corona. I'm a blood courier. I carry blood around.

Wait, what do you mean, you carry blood around? On my bike. To what?

For hospitals. I deliver blood. You deliver blood? Yeah. For the testing and that. I deliver to hospitals.

That's ridiculous, mate.

I'm going to make £1,500 a month, easy. Giving you...

Nah, 1,500 a week. Yeah!

You're not on the systems, 4-2.

No, no. I'm not. I just had a quick question. Um...

I think there's been a mistake on my invoice.

Hello? A mistake?

The other day, I drove 24 miles from SC1 to W1,

and I only got paid for...£8...

You do realise you're only paid for POB, yeah? I'm what?

You're only paid for the miles you're carrying a package,

so it'll be 12 miles, not 24. You were paid correctly.

It's all in your courier handbook. Couriers who decide to take jobs that are nearby

are likely to result in less dead mileage and increased back loads.

Um, it's only cos I got...I got a couple traffic fines

that I have to pay and I don't have the money... PCNs are your responsibility,

not the company's. I would have covered that in your induction.

Yeah, I know. OK. Yeah. Sorry, sorry. Sorry. Bye.

"Newlyn - removal of goods notice."

Trading since 1999, Newlyn's vast experience in debt recovery

and enforcement means we're well placed to work with our clients

to help them achieve their collection targets year on year.

During these times of austerity, Newlyn offers more innovative ways

to assist the council,

delivering a best-value service collecting difficult debts

efficiently and effectively.

In fact, we regularly collect more than other enforcement contractors

and are at the top of Islington Council's league table

for debt recovery. Our goal is your success.

FAMILY CHATS AND LAUGHS

No-one really knows how bad it is.

I don't like talking about money problems with anyone.

No, no... Hang on, what?

Can I set up a payment plan? Because I can't pay it all at once.

No, I'm sorry, sir, I can't discuss that with you over the phone.

You're going to need to speak to the office.

Which office is that? Is that...?

Hold on. Was it Newlyn, right?

Yeah, that's right. Do you want the number?

RECORDED VOICE: Welcome to Newlyn PLC.

Please note, calls may be recorded.

HE WHEEZES

To make a payment using our automated payment line,

please press one. Alternatively,

please hold to speak to the next available agent.

Good afternoon. Hello. Yeah.

I wanted to... Hello, you're speaking to Newlyn PLC.

Can you confirm your name, please?

Jerome Rogers.

And your address and postcode?

It's C-R-O 3-C-K.

And the first line of your address, please.

24 Whitland Street.

OK. Are you calling to clear your balance, sir? Uh, yeah.

And what kind of card are you using?

Oh, well, no...

I wanted to talk about payments, cos, see this...

I can't afford to pay all this at the same time.

OK. Well, the enforcement agent has advised for it to be paid in full.

And that's as much as I can discuss with you.

What...?

I can't afford to pay it all today.

I'm sorry but in regards to payments and arrangements, we can't

discuss that with you. Only the enforcement agent can.

But he said to call the office.

Is he... Is he part of the company or is he separate?

He's the manager on your file, yeah, but he does work with Newlyn. Yeah.

Um... Right.

OK. OK? All right. Thank you.

AGENTS SPEAK OVER EACH OTHER

Morning. I'm looking for Jerome Rogers.

Jerome! Jerome?

Yeah? What's up?

There's a man outside, asking for you by name. He's a bailiff.

Jerome Rogers? Yeah.

You've got two traffic fines, one for 507, one for £512.

Makes a total of £1,019.

BAILIFF SIGHS

BODY CAM BEEPS

Um... Can we work out, like, a payment arrangement or something?

Because he obviously needs time. Sorry, Mum. It's fine. No, but...

Honestly... He's going to need to clear the lead case.

It's fine, Mum. Are you sure? Yeah, sure, I'll message you. Don't worry.

Ring me. Don't worry, I'll sort it.

I already made a payment.

Yeah, you made a payment of £5 previously.

Yeah, well, remember,

I called you guys up to set up a payment plan...a payment scheme.

Yeah, you can't make a payment scheme

and now your balance is £1,019.

But you said that... you said I could.

No, no, no. WE haven't spoken before, sir.

The other guy I spoke to. I called them up.

And he said to speak to...

..to ring the office.

But then they said I had to speak to the bailiff...

Right, OK, look.

If it's been refused, that's just the way it is, sir.

What you need to do now is clear this.

Well, no, I don't think it has been refused.

They just said to me that...

OK, look, look. Where you're right now, all right,

you're being taken to court.

I just don't think you understand the process.

When you're issued with a ticket, they give you an opportunity to pay,

right? You then get taken to court by the council

and it becomes a court order rather than a traffic fine, sir.

OK?

Then we're given the authority to come in and seize assets,

which is where you're at today. Right?

Now, the best I can do for you right now...

You come up with the 507 - that clears the first ticket.

Then me and you, we can talk,

we can make an arrangement to pay the rest of the balance.

I don't get paid till Friday.

You're talking to me like that's my issue.

I'm just here to talk you through the legalities of this.

I'm already on my way to work, though. I can't...

Now, sir, that is controlled goods.

But I'm already on my way to work! Are you aware that

this is all on camera, sir? Yes or no?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

But I'm already on my way, though.

That's not a problem, sir. OK?

But this is a seized vehicle.

If you remove this, it becomes a criminal offence.

You are, in effect, stealing this vehicle.

Do you understand? Yeah.

The best thing that you can do right now is to get this cleared.

I'll give you half an hour.

Half... You're joking, aren't you? Half an hour.

Are you serious? You've got half an hour.

What I can do - I'm well within my rights to seize this vehicle

right now, but I'm not doing that, am I? No.

I'm prepared to help you, to work with you.

Now, where do you work? Do you work local?

No, I'm a courier. Oh, you're...

Right. So you need this vehicle for work. Yeah.

So it's in your best interest to find the 507 now,

today, get that paid off. All right? Yeah.

That is the best that I can do, sir, if I'm honest.

TV: Are you facing an emergency situation?

In desperate need of cash?

If your situation is dire, and you're on your last legs, then

now is the time to take advantage of one of our Cobra loans.

We can get you quickly back on your feet and back in the driver's seat.

We won't ask you for your life story or what the money is going towards.

It's simply none of our business.

There are no restrictions whatsoever upon how the money is spent.

So if you're looking for a quick cash loan provider that won't

embarrass you by making you tell the story of how

you got into financial trouble in the first place,

we're definitely the company to talk to.

All right? Don't worry.

I've got it. Yeah. Cheers.

Morning, sir.

How much does he owe?

Well, we need to clear the first one, which is the 507 ticket, today.

If we can do that, then I'm prepared to work with him over time

to pay off the remaining balance.

Now, technically, I could seize the vehicle

but I don't want to do that.

OK? I don't want to do that because I know he needs it for work.

All right.

Card all right?

Card is perfectly acceptable, sir.

What I'm going to do...

Pop your numbers in here.

I just need you to do me a little squiggle, OK? Yeah.

Might take a few seconds.

I've sorted the first ticket.

You going to be OK to set up a payment plan for the rest?

Yeah, of course. Of course.

All right.

I'll be inside.

Is he in his room? Yeah. Shall I go and get him?

All right, go and get him.

Jerome?

Hmm?

Can you come down and have a chat with me and Ben, please?

Now? Yeah. All right. Thanks.

I just don't understand what happened. How did it get so high?

It was 65 quid when I first got it.

So why didn't you pay it then?

I don't know. I think I left in my satchel.

Yeah, but you must have got more letters.

I thought work would take care of it

but they said it wasn't their problem.

And I tried to pay it off twice but it got declined so I called up

Newlyn and then asked about a payment plan,

they said I needed to speak to the bailiff...

Mate.

You've got to come to us when something like this is going on.

Next time, I might not have the money.

Well, it's sorted now anyway. I've set up a payment plan for the second

ticket, so it's fine, and I will pay you back all of the money.

OK, but can you manage that payment?

Yeah, Mum, it's just a couple of traffic fines

and I'm paying it now.

OK, you promise me.

Yeah.

All right.

Debt - it goes away from my parents if I die.

I'm terrified of being a burden.

They deserve to finally live for themselves and they can't.

They'll get enough money to pay for the funeral

It's good, no, it's great. Yeah.

You don't sound like you're too sure.

What's been happening?

Lots of driving. Lots of driving. Lots of money.

Lots of money? Yeah. That's good.

Making some money, then, from these, er, these courier jobs?

Yeah. Nice.

So what's the matter, then?

How am I supposed to earn a living?

I only get paid when I've got a package on board, which means

half the time I'm earning nothing.

Yeah, you get dead miles, don't you?

Then on top of that, while I'm earning nothing,

I got to rent my courier pack, which is 24 quid a week.

Then I got to pay for my own petrol. I've got to pay insurance,

which is more expensive because you know, it's a work vehicle.

On top of that... On top of all that, you're at their beck and call.

So... Exactly. That means whenever they want you, you got to

make sure you're there and if they don't want you, then you just...

I'm just sat there, like, earning nothing, literally just sat there.

Yeah, it's a joke. What about you? You seem to have got it on lock.

No, I wouldn't say I've got it on lock.

I'm in the same boat.

Serious. The amount of petrol I burn...

That you pay for? It's depressing.

You pay for the petrol? Absolutely, yeah.

And the insurance and all that? Yeah, it's all out of my pocket.

It's not a real job. But this is your work vehicle. That's what I'm trying to tell you.

It's not a real job. What do you mean? What I mean is,

it's a zero-hour contract, no obligations, no strings...

What am I supposed to do? Kick off to the controller?

Yeah, what would that prove?

You kick off to the controller,

they're not going to give you any jobs. You've got to play the game.

So what are you going to do? Are you going to...

How do you do that. How do you do that?

Just be my charming self. Just use your charm.

What do you want me to say? That's the magic powers?

Yeah. Turn on the charm?

Easy for you. I don't know about that.

I'd say within time, you just...

..get used to it.

I lie in bed at night and keep saying - "I'm in debt" - to myself.

I hate it.

I'm drowning and I can't see any light.

If I'm going to kill myself, now's the best time to do it, frankly.

MAN SINGING TO HIMSELF: # Every breath you take

# Every move you make

# Every da-da dah...

# I'll be watching you

# Oh, can't you see?

# You belong to me... #

Sir, what are you up to?

I'm on my way to work.

Right, this is what's going to happen -

if you don't pay and you remove that vehicle,

I'm going to have to inform the police that's it's stolen.

It's the same guy as before. I thought he'd sorted it?

Do you want to make sure he's all right? I could go down and...

But...

He don't like it. He doesn't want me acting like his dad.

I'll keep an eye on him from here, and if I have to go down, I will.

All right? Yeah. Yeah.

Right, that vehicle is owned by the court

and this is all on camera, OK?

If you remove that vehicle, it's technically stolen.

Well, have you got that in writing?

Because if you have that in writing, I'm more than happy to...

I'm just telling you the law. OK?

I'm not preventing you from doing whatever it is you're doing,

but if you remove that vehicle from the driveway, it'll be stolen.

It'll be flagged as stolen.

You're going to incur more charges if I have to come back here.

Now, this is all on camera, OK?

It's just the law.

Are you preventing me from carrying out my duties?

No, I'm just standing here.

I'm just standing here.

I'm just going to call the police, they can deal with it.

I'm not preventing anything, I'm just standing here.

Sir, if you seize that vehicle, you're breaking the law.

What, by just standing here?

Hello, I'm an enforcement officer, working in Croydon.

Yeah, I'm at the warrant's address, about to seize a vehicle,

and he's removing it from the property.

Yeah, I need to class it as stolen, so I need a CAD number.

Yeah, I've explained the law to him, he's adamant that he's right.

Can I hear what you're talking to? Can you put it on speaker, please?

I need to hear what you're saying. If you're talking to the police,

I need to hear what you're saying, it's about me.

Don't touch me. I'm not touching you, I'm just putting my hand up.

Are you preventing me from carrying out my duties? Preventing you from taking pictures.

All right, you know what?

I think I'm going to clamp your vehicle.

This is what's going to happen -

if you remove that vehicle, you prevent me

from clamping your vehicle, you remove the clamp,

you'll be in breach of the peace,

and that's where we're at at the moment.

And that is why I called the police. OK?

I know that they'll miss me,

and I know that I'll get plenty of people at my funeral,

but I don't see any other way out of my financial situation.

I'm a single mum with a one-year-old.

I am drowning in debt and the bank

are taking me to court for repossession.

My son goes away on Sunday for one week.

I feel quite calm now...

..as I'm planning to take my life.

KNOCKING

He... He needs the keys to your motorcycle.

Don't know where they are.

Besides, without my bike, I can't work.

So what's the point anyway?

Do you have any money?

Nobody has any money.

Well, no breach of the peace has taken place,

so we're going to go now, all right?

I'll wait in the car, sir.

No, haven't heard a thing.

He must be up in his room.

I'll check later. Yep.

No, no, the police have gone.

No.

You know what, if something happens, I'll call you.

All right, see you later.

I can't come to the phone right now, but leave a message after the beep.

BEEP

Jerome, it's Mum again.

Erm...

We're just, we're just really worried about you.

We called the police.

And...

..I just wanted to say, don't worry about the bike,

because we can... We can sort the bike out.

We can find the money. It'll be...

It'll be fine.

Love you.

No!

No, Mum!

Mum!

Mike, Jerome's...

..Jerome's gone missing.

I think I know where he is, and I need you to come with me, yeah?

Jerome!

This is it.

Jerome!

Jerome?

Jerome?

Jerome?

Jerome, mate?

No, no. Mate, don't. Where is he? Jerome! Jerome!

PHONE RINGS

Hello? Oh, hi, is that Tracey Rogers? Yes.

Hello, I'm calling from Newlyn PLC,

I agreed I'd give you a ring back?

OK. Do you know why I'm calling?

Sorry? Do you know why I'm calling?

Erm...

I am aware that, obviously, that...

I'm very sorry for the loss of your...

My son was... He must have been so ashamed that he could not even

ring me up to tell me about it.

And now he's dead,

they give me £10,000 to pay for his funeral, how ironic is that?

I don't even know how I'm going to get through his funeral,

how I'm going to get through the rest of my life without him.

CALL ENDS

What are you up to?

Right, this is what's going to happen.

Right, if you don't pay and you remove that vehicle, I'm going

to have to inform the police that it's stolen.

When you're issued with a ticket,

they give you an opportunity to pay, all right?

You then get taken to court by the council

and it becomes a court order rather than a traffic fine, sir. Yeah.

Then we're given the authority to come in and seize assets,

which is where you're at today.
