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.
I have four accounts currently being pursued, two for myself and two for my wife (who I am logged on as just now).The account that gives me concern is the 'Ordinary' action against the Royal Bank of Scotland for £1,919. My litigation Lawyer has said that should It go to court and the bank actually contest the case within the 21 days, I will be legally tied in to the court system. If I subsequently were to lose the case it would cost me thousands of pounds as the bank will not muck about, hiring the big legal guns.
Has any one taken an Ordinary case action so far and what seems to be the feed back from the Sheriff Courts?
I am trying to get a feel for whether I should take them on or not?. I'd say I'm 90% certain I will do it, but.......
