If not DO NOT let them in... on the first visit they have no right to entry.. make sure your windows are shut etc as they come in through a open window or door but can't break in and if you answer the door they can NOT force entry no matter what they say.
Tell them to pass the debt back to the original person that is claiming it and shut the door in their face.
The ballif is not the person you owe the money to and they have no legal rights until you give them the rights by letting them into your property for the first time
If they are aggressive then they can be prosecuted
To be short the only thing you should ever say to a bailf is NO you can not enter my property.

Bailiffs have had the legal right to force an entry to your home since 2004.
That applies to fines, fixed penalties enforced by magistrates courts, or income tax arrears.
Peaceful entry only for all other debt.
Koi could be taken if the bailiff can get peaceful entry to the pond - they are allowed to climb over walls, gates and fences. It would be interesting to see if they fall into the category of domestic pet. However, moving fish and keeping them healthy will take organising. They wouldn't be prepared to do it on first visit.
If you have had the bailiffs round and have expensive koi - move them to a friend's pond if possible.
The herons have been very active lately. :)
