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.
As a newbie,and helping my daughter to obtain 'Penalty charges'
Refund from her bank,I can only thank those that have contributed to this site.
I was a little concerned ref the case management info sheet,but the answers were here.
Again,tks and good luck to all who are involved next month.
I am due to attend Leeds on the 29th Aug and am keen to hear from anyone who knows if the case will go ahead now. I have been waiting for 8 months to get to this point.
Rachel
as far as i am aware, its up to the judge to decide if the cases will go ahead, personally i think those at court stage will still go, but the others will be left to hang on.

If this has helped in any way please click on the scales..
The judges at the Leeds Mercantile hearings haven't stood for any nonsense from the banks so far, so I hope that this continues in the light of the OFT test case.
When the Liberals and Conservatives were in opposition they both agreed that banks should pay back high bank charges to customers. Nothing seems to of happened since they came into power as a coalition. PPI insurance has been sorted now they should turn their attention to bank charges and help customers get exorbitant charges refunded.

Jess124 - So am i, we're all in the same boat on the same date, so you're not on your own. Its a group hearing so its not just you versus the judge.
Noodles 3 - Could you elaborate on what you just said? Are you saying the outcome of our cases could be decided on what happens in the test case? ( i presume you mean the case where Barclays, cap one and others have been pulled by the OFT?)
I'm basically taking my statements and the Mercentile Form down with me, anything else i should take?
Good luck everyone for tomorrow. I have been through this forum gathering all the valuable information a massive thank you for all your help. See you all in the morning.
