Between April 2021 and April 2022 there were a reported 7,778 illegal evictions in England. 830 recorded on H-Cli but gaps in reporting strongly suggest that this is a serious under count. Many councils no longer have a TRO service so dealing with harassment and illegal eviction is a duty that falls to many homelessness staff.
