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 am just starting a claim against RBS for £140 of charges on my credit card between 2003 and 2004. How do I calculate the contractual interest? Also if they send me the difference between £12 and the £20 they charged me (which i have a feeling they will do) do I send them the cheque back?
Sorry I forgot to say that it is an RBS credit card. The spreadsheet that you sent me was fantastic but specifically says that it is not for credit cards. Do you have the link for a credit card spreadsheet that calculates the same,
Well at least they replied (which is more than goldfish have done). First they sent me a cheque for the difference between £12 and £20. I accepted as part payment and sent an lba. They have now sent me a cheque for £4.58 which represents 8% of the £56 they have already sent me. They are clearly taking the p**s and i am wondering if i should even bother replying or just file at court next friday when the 14 days are up,
You should send another thanks but no thanks letter, stating you are now filing at court, then file! You have been patient enough, and they are playing silly beggars.
well i sent the £4.58 cheque back and told them that i would be filing in court today 25/6. Well blow me down if i don't get a cheque in the post this morning for the remainder of the money + interest. The interest was only at 8% but as i never needed to go to court i don't mind
