Baglady, I am sorry to have misinformed you on the previous post. Apparently it is fairly pointless to send bailiff companies sars because that do not bother to respond correctly.
Please read this post by BURP to get the info that you need. He is a big help on the Bailiff section and it might help you to visit that section and read some of the threads there which may give you a help with your own bailiff company.
Here is his post-
Paying ten-quid for a S.A.R. is a mugs game; you get a printout telling you diddly-squat! This one cost nothing and evidently gets results hole-in-one, usually with all unlawful fees refunded without further ado!
It can be used by anyone trading in bailiff fee recovery
It works on almost any debt up to six years after paying a bailiff
It works even if the debtor havn't paid any money to a bailiff yet
You don't need to know what the debt is for, or the name of the creditor
It serves as a Letter Before Action
It has an infallible set of follow-up templates. You can’t lose!

Dear Sir/Madam
Re: [YOUR NAME + REF]: Fee irregularities. Opportunity to compensate
I write following visits by your bailiff however there appears to be irregularities with your fees. I ask you to provide the following within fourteen (14) days:
1) The name of the certificating court and certificate number for the bailiff in charge
2) Written confirmation of a) your fees, and b) the original debt
3) Truthfully confirm in writing your fees are lawful and comply with regulations prescribing bailiffs fees
4) The name and address of the person or body you act for
If you cannot complete the above, please unconditionally pay me within fourteen (14) days a refund of all unlawful fees and unconditionally pay me compensation of £4999.00 for failure to comply with the law prescribing your fees and I will consider this aspect of the matter closed.
If I later find an irregularity with your fees within the statutory time limit of 6 years as prescribed under Section 2 of the Limitation Act 1980, I will enter no further correspondence with you and automatically file a Form 4 at court for dishonestly defrauding me with your fees. This may also involve a criminal investigation by police and your bailiff and firm's director(s) may receive a criminal record for assisting an offender, benefiting from proceeds of crime and committing offences under the Fraud Act 2006.
This document is delivered by Royal Mail and I deem it good service upon you by the ordinary course of post under Section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978. It is your responsibility and in your best interests this letter is handed to the relevant person within your organisation.
Yours Sincerely
YOUR NAME
Just insert the name of your bailiff company at the top of the letter and send it off. Make sure you keep a copy.
