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.
There is a small but very tired group of people posting on forums like CAG who have been let down by their unions. Often the cases are about nervous breakdowns induced by employers in rather machiavellian ways by quasi-public employers, and unions which turn-out to be even more murky, lacking clear contracts or accounts. The complexity of the cases and the fragility of the claimants rules -out much help from no-win no-fee lawyers.
I'd like to suggest a forum for those who agree with each other that they have been let down by a trades union and want to discuss what to do about it, along the same lines as forums for people let down by banks.
Re: Suggest forum for disputes against trades unions
I was badly let down by a union representative, and the union as a whole, to such an extent that I considered them largely responsible for misinformation which subsequantly led to a failed ET claim, probably worth, financially, £10,000 in compensation/losses.
Having always believed in unions prior to this, it is when one experiences something like this that that changed.
Discovery by me revealed most of the reps had no training whatsoever other than attending seminars that were lectured by other equally untrained individuals.
It is shocking that workers pay subs each week to receive, in effect, advice on employment matters that is no more informative than had I sought advice from the staff of the works canteen instead.
I would never, ever waste my time or money on a union any time in the future.
