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.
Hello all, I would be grateful if anyone could advise re the following situation.
A few months ago I accepted a partial settlement from A&L in respect to bounced cheque and paid referral charges (over limit charges were not included in this settlement).
Since then, I have continued to have charges applied to my account and due to recent unemployment have been unable to bring the account to within the overdraft limit.
A&L have now issued a formal demand for payment and withdrawn banking facilities.
The amount I allegedly owe them is less than the paid referral fees and charges incurred since the partial settlement combined.
Furthermore, I have received a letter saying that although I accepted their offer as Full and final settlement, A&L do not consider the complaint resolved and will not do close the file until after the High Court point of law debate has been heard and ruled upon.
Finally, we come to the questions!
In light of the above, am I entitled to write to A&L requesting they do not close the account and ask them to halt any proceedings until after the court case?
Can I simply write to them and reclaim the charges incurred since the partial settlement and state therefore that the account is in dispute and no action should be taken before the dispute thas been resolved? I am thinking of course that any dispute could not be resolved until after the High Court case?
Any comments / advice as to strategy would be gratefully appreciated!
I was being harassed by two separate DCAs at once re my A&L account so I used this act plus the info from reading similar threads to yours and the harassment stopped immediately.
Coincidence maybe???? it did stop though.
Carry out the reclaiming procedure, you may get a judge who refuses requests for stays or removes them. The banks waiver may be lifted aswell so keep going with tried and tested method on here
Open a parachute account in case they withdraw your banking facilities without notice.
A&L - formal demand for payment & default
limit.
settlement, A&L do not consider the complaint resolved and will not do close the file until after the High Court point of law debate has been heard and ruled upon.
