Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Firstly thanks to everyone who posts advice here, I have found it all extremely helpfull.
I have reached a stage in my claim where i would like a little advice on the correct way to proceed, situation is as follows.
I issued a claim for approx £2000, Abbey acknowledged the claim and submitted a defence of which I received a copy.
It seems to rely mainly on the contention that the fees charged are not penalty charges but are proportionate to the Defendants administrative costs and are a genuine pre estimate of damage suffered by the Defendant. Furthermore even if they are not proportionate then the Claimant is only entitled to claim the difference.
Together with the defence I received an offer of settlement of 65% of my claim.
At the same time I received a letter from Northampton CC transferring the case to my local court, Leicester, and an order saying the aq is to be dispensed with in this case.
Could somebody please give me a nudge in the right direction, references to other threads?
Why dont you write to Inga.Kirkman@ashurst.com and reject their 65% offer and either hold out for the full amount or state a figure you would be happy to settle for
