What happens if I have nothing for bailiffs to take?

How long can bailiffs chase you for?
six years
If you do not pay the debt at all, the law sets a limit on how long a debt collector can chase you. If you do not make any payment to your creditor for six years or acknowledge the debt in writing then the debt becomes ‘statute barred’. This means that your creditors cannot legally pursue the debt through the courts.
Do bailiffs ever give up?
After 90 days after being given the warrant or liability order. If after 90 days, the bailiff cannot recover the debt, or cannot find the debtor or his vehicle, the bailiff is under a contract with his firm to return the enforcement power.
