This Act amends the Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987 by abolishing the right of creditors to carry out poindings and warrant sales of their debtor's assets. Poinding and Warrant Sales give bailiffs the right to enter the homes of anyone not paying rent, draw up an inventory of their possessions and then sell them.
