While that may be what some people use "Can't pay, we'll take it away" for, the programme is presented in quite a sympathetic way.
Often the enforcement agents have empathy with the people they are enforcing against, particularly when it's clear that the person has a struggle that's no fault of their own. They're far less sympathetic to wealthier people who are just ignoring their responsibilities and trying to get away with it.
At least that's how I remember the show, I haven't actually watched broadcast TV for at least 2 years now.
