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.
OK, have managed to located letter templates. The letter specific to my stage (offer letter from bank, hearing date set) does not allow my to request partial payment.
As such, I have plagiarised, and want to know if this is ok?

Re: Account number XXXXXXXX
Response to settlement offer
Dear Mr Douthwaite
Thank you for your letter dated XX XX 2007. I respectfully decline your offer of Full and final settlement. However, I am prepared to temporarily accept the sum offered as partial settlement on the clear understanding that the remainder is paid in full.
For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to stress that I do not accept your offer under the terms stated in your letter.
You may not have been aware that I commenced legal action against you for the full amount plus interest and costs on 04 May 2007 and I would ask that you now refer this matter to your legal department for further instruction.
My claim is for £7701.57 as outlined in my Particulars of Claim, plus court costs of £350.00, and this claim will continue until payment is made in full.
I trust this clarifies my position.
Yours faithfully
Can I suggest this at this stage in the proceedings? If so, does this letter need tweaking??
