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.
Can anyone make out if there are any notable changes?
Im terrible with all that legal jargon.
I had a quick scan and noticed that the type of account i hold, royalties gold, will no longer be available to open.
It also says something about people who own these accounts (which will no longer be available to open) will have their account switched or CANCELLED by the RBS.
Is this a back lash to the bank charge reclaiming? I have reclaimed £480 on this account and am in the process of reclaiming £1800(its stayed) from my partner and I's joint account.
Will this give them power to pick and choose who's account will be closed??
On another note:
I shouldnt have this account in the first place as i never signed any agreement for the upgrade and yet i have been charged £6 a month in fees for the last 4 years(ive held my IPCA since i was about 6 and im now 25). I asked them last week to prove that i agreed to the upgrade and im waiting on a response.
What do you think my chances of getting my fees back?

a Paid Referral Fee.
an Unpaid Item Fee.
a monthly charge known as a Maintenance Charge; and etc.

Generally banks have the right to terminate accounts if they wish; this is the case even where accounts are of aa type that is still available to open

No, it's pretty common for banks to change their account structure

In effect they already have this power, but to use it because of a claim would be counter to the fsa waiver.

You might have a case, but most judges would think if you had it for six years, you should have noticed at some point.
