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.
Didn't want to post anything about this until I had hard proof and could see the end in sight.
May 8th I visited my local Shell Petrol Station on my motorbike (Honda Hornet), and received a flat tyre on their forecourt due to a scattering of bolts that had been left on the ground. The bolt were there because they had come loose from one of the speed bumps on the forecourt.
Needles to say, one went in my tyre, and caused a big hole. Due to the speed rating of the tyre, it's not legal to plug/repair it, so I got it replaced (£124).
I phoned consumer direct, who informed me to write to them with photographs, and explain that I wanted the money reimbursed.
No response, so phone consumer direct back, who put me through Trading Standards. Trading Standards explained that they could visit the site, but I'd be better going through SCC. The guy on the phone commended me for taking photographs, keeping the bolt and the damaged tyre.
I'll be filing on Tesday with Bristol CC for the cost of the tyre, plus costs.
Congratulations.
I suppose they can't give in too easily or there would be a thousand malicious claims to every legitimate claim.
Trading Standards wants your help
Dubious website businesses Conterfeit alcohol and cigarettes Illegal sales of alcohol, tobacco, knives & fireworks to children Cowboy builders or tradesmen Car clockers Counterfeiters Aggressive selling
Never phone or accept phonecalls from debt collection companies.
If you don't believe you can win, there is no point in getting out of bed.
