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 wonder if somebody can help me. I purchased a car on finance through Capital bank. I am 3 years into the repayments. I have had a couple of difficulties along the way with keeping up with the repayments. I have received charges some month of over £50. Do you think that I have a case for claiming back the charges. ????
I Claimed my charges back.......... Ask for a statement of all charges. and once you have a total request the payment from them. They first offered half the money. I rejected this and said that I would persue them through the courts. The following week a cheque arrived in the post for the full amount without any arguments !! so go gor it !!!
cheers for that guys. Jake44 was you charges through Capital bank. Also I am still making repayments to Capital bank so dont want them to start being funny.
My account was cleared when I collected the charges from them . How long do you still have to pay. ? It shouldn't matter if your account is open or closed they are still charges that you can recover.........
I claimed them about six months ago. The account had been cleared a few months before that............ My charges over the years were £1200 !! and they paid up in full........
Just ask them for a list of all charges to date on account number xxxxxxx
It comes back like a statement that lists the charges. Your next letter is in reference to charges from ( date of 1st charge till the last one on the account ) They were quite quick in sending the statement through. Don't know if I was just one of the lucky ones to get a quick pay oit ! good luck and keep me posted.......
Now you have a figure send a polite letter requesting the charges that have been made to your account . Guaranteed they will refuse............
That is when you get a bit tougher and state that you will have no further option than to go through the courts to persue your money.... Fingers crossed...
