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.
Please help. After a Dealership refused to return a holding cheque i sent on a car that was not as described, i started the long and expensive proccess of getting my money back through the Courts.It has been relativaly simple, and up until yesterday, i was on a high waiting for the Baliffs to finally do their job and eventually get my money back. I was devastated to be told the company is now dissolved and the baliffs can do no more. I am at my wits end and my marriage is suffering because of stress over the last few months. Does anyone know of any way i can continue to try and get my money/cheque back. i really can't afford to back down now.
Regards.
In my opinion it would seem you are now one of their creditors so could come way down the pecking order, it would seem the money is lost sorry, but I expect you have realised this.
With luck another member may have some experience of a similar situation, and advise what you could do next, in any case the reply has bumped your thread.
Thanks both for your helpful and honest replies. Deep inside i know i've probably lost the money, but i can't let this man rip me off. I would quite happily spend a million to get my thousand back, just to show this prat he can't just scew people over. It seems its always the innocent party that has to do all the work. I will try whats been said and would appriciate any other info.
Thanks again
They cashed the cheque within days of recieving it. It was a holding cheque pending my inspection. He cashed it without my permission, but this was only a verbal argeement.The car was not as described and he would not refund the monies. The police were not interested as i believed he was commiting a crime under section 2 of the fraud act. They said its a civil matter, even though the picture of the car was not the one on sale. I've just found out the company goes by other names with the same Director as the one i want my money from. Will this help me?
