The authorities have struggled with the tension in this provision between concern for the debtor’s dignity and the fact that this protection might work to the advantage of an unscrupulous debtor who claims that“I have nothing with which to pay you”; neither the creditor nor the bailiff may enter the debtors home to verify that statement. Rambam , at Malveh veloveh 2:2, refers to post: Talmudic enactments imposing the requirement of an oath upon the debtor who claims inability to pay. Other authorities, particularly Rabbeinu Tam , sought tc provide some relief to creditors by reading the Biblical prohibition strictly: t bailiff is forbidden to enter the debtor’s home only to collect a pledge(mashko prior to the due date of the loan; however, the bailiff may enter the home in order to collect the loan once it has become due.
