If somebody owes Mr X £1000, and doesn't recieve it for months...
Can he call a baliff up and get them to deal with it:
Do the baliffs then pay Mr X the amount owed, and Mr Y pays the baliff £10 a month, untill he's paid off the money plus Fee's?
Or does it just work that Mr Y pays the baliff £10 per month, and the baliff forwards the money on?

You have to take the person to court first, and if a County Court Judgement (CCJ) is issued, THEN you can appoint a baliff.
If someone owes you some money, get a debt collection agency on to them or send Steve round with his axe/Ojc.

It can vary, but historically I thought the debt used to be sold onto a debt collection agency and then the debt is nothing to do with the original Mr X.

all these people that say if you get a parking ticket from a private company ignore it etc, thats all good but what about them bailifs programs where they go round collecting money for things just like these outstanding ticket monies.
are they colelcting just for council ones, or private ones too, from what iv seen you dont get much choice to argue the toss when they turn up about private contracts etc

You (i.e. company or council) can only send a baliff round to someone if you actually took the person to court and they have a CCJ issued as a result - even then they can only be sent round if the person that owes the money has broken the terms of their judgement, for example not making the required weekly/monthly payments.

so no bailifs until you actually get a court summons and what you are saying is if it was a private parking company you wouldnt get a summons?

Yes, you can't just randomly get a bailiff sent round to someone's home.
You have to chase them for the debt first (either by sending letters in the post/calling them etc. or getting a debt collection agency to chase on your behalf).
If there is no joy, you can take them to court and if a judgement has been made in your favour (i.e. the judge agrees that a CCJ can be issued to your debtor) a payment plan is sorted out between you and the debtor.
With CCJs if you stop making payments only then can you apply to the court to have bailiffs seize valuables from the debtor on your behalf.
Most of the time with parking ticket offences they will use scare tactics to extract the fine out of you, but they know if you tell them to fuck off and refuse to speak to them/pay them the fine it'll cost a lot of money to take you to court so they just write off the fine.

Q:How do baliffs work?
A: The bittersweet, spicy leaves impart their pungent flavour to a variety of dishes and ingredients, making bay a versatile store cupboard ingredient. It’s also one of the few herbs that doesn’t lose its flavour when dried.
