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'm on a £35pcm + Gold Level insurance with o2. Back in May I upgraded my handset to an Xda Orbit.
Recently that handset was stolen by a friend of a friend (long story). Luckily my simcard was not in the handset at the time so i'm back using my trusty old nokia. My friend tells me the bloke who stole it has taken it to Australia with him and is using the handset.
My question is, if I contact o2 to get a replacement handset through my insurance, is the old handset going to be blocked, or is the guy gonna get a knock on the door from the police?
No it won't be. The IMEI blocking service is not global (in fact there are 4 different systems in place, and even the European scheme misses out a few countries). There IS a similar service in Oz and NZ but o2 cannot access it to upload or remove data.
Here's an interesting conundrum...
