The late neighbours

At a quarter past nine, all hell broke loose upstairs. They were back. The bailiffs can't have paid them a visit, or the locks would have been changed. The kids ran around screaming for a good half-hour and then went quiet, There was banging and crashing for about an hour. It sounded like things being dismantled.
I have to be very careful with what I understand. I was told that the bailiffs were supposed to come yesterday. I saw Madam's things being moved out. It was my own fault for believing that, based on the evidence, she had actually moved out. I had heard noises earlier in the day, and had assumed that it was the owner's representatives cleaning the place up.
I thought I was going mad last night. I thought I must be hallucinating and imagining all the noise. I didn't know what to think.
