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.
Just won ongoing dispute with A&L who sent threat letters for a total sum of £478.31.
Short story is I was OD by £6.31 at beginning of Jul 07 after all my bills had been paid, had no more money to put into account for 1 remaining direct debit, asked A&L for temp overdraft. Suprise they said no.....
Direct debit comes into collect funds it bounces and incurrs charge of £34, A&L asks them to collect again in 7 days incurred further charges, £34 charge again.
So by end of July I'm £289 OD all charges, I changed tactics got my wages put into another account with Barclays.
A&L phone me asking where all my DD's and wages had gone because I was £289 OD. I kindly informed them I had no intention of paying their charges anymore as I was going around in circles paying charges every month, it was getting to the point where I could not afford my mortgage.
Anyway they kept on with harrassing phone calls and letters threatening legal action. I told them to take me to court and see how silly they looked when the Judge finds out I was only £6.31 OD and how I accrued charges of £472.
final demand comes through post for court action, they phoned me I explained why I still wasn't going to pay the charges but was willing to pay £6.31 which I was originally OD. They tried bully tactics, I stuck to my guns and they said they will write off all charges.
A result for the little people I believe........
Show them the error of their ways and come around to your way of thinking!
