National Council of Bailiffs reports 2,600 complaints

The National Council of Bailiffs (KRK) reported over 2,600 complaints filed between 2021 and 2025. These grievances primarily concern the manner in which enforcement actions are conducted—such as seizures, deliveries, and communication with offices—as well as the protracted nature of proceedings.

Most complaints are submitted by debtors, with fewer coming from creditors or other institutions. During this period, there were more than 400 disciplinary investigations and 820 refusals to initiate such investigations. Additionally, the Disciplinary Commissioner of the KRK submitted 231 requests for punishment.

Legal experts note that many complaints involve matters that fall under judicial oversight, which should be handled by district courts rather than the KRK. However, a spokesperson for the KRK stated that the volume of complaints is moderate when compared to the scale of bailiff activities, which exceed 21 million actions annually.
