Sorry a bit off topic.
The difference is the bank can only own the home if you don't pay.
The council or housing or private landlord own the home.
The lady in question said they could not come in ergo they did not go in, if they had written with 24 hrs notice they could have entered regardless of her refusal(though would have required police attendance) I really fail to see what the problem is unless the lady has so little going on in her life that this helps her get through the day!
