New laws will put debtors in England and Wales at greater risk from unscrupulous bailiffs, a consumer advice charity is warning.
The Citizens Advice service says all bailiffs could be granted powers to break into people's homes.
The charity says changes in the law will lead to abuse of the system on an "unprecedented" scale.
The government says they will simplify the laws governing bailiffs, and will help protect vulnerable people.
