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 NEED SOME ADVICE: I am confused, which is nothing new!
I submitted my claim online on the 1st July 2006, it says in the FAQ's section about entering judgement after 14 days? as I write this they have not corresponded with me, tomorrow is the 14th Day, however the paperwork I got from the court says they have until the 22nd July 2006 to reply (the 28 days), what is this 14 day business all about, I don't want to cock it up.... what should I do?
I've had a Tommy Mclean letter this morning, "reconsider the offer we made you, we are not raising it...., heres a leaflet for the Ombudsman, if you are contemplating court action I suggest you reconsider however make sure you serve it on our registered office blah blah blah"
Obviously they have not checked before sending this letter out, we are on day 15 of my moneyclaim online, they have until next Saturday in which to lodge a defence, the 28th day....
Have others had this letter so late into proceedings?
RBS- Prelim sent 9/05/06 £1,147
£500 offer 27/05/06, rejected 30/05/06
LBA sent 25/05/06
MCOL 15/06/06
Defence received 20/07/06
Settled in full 01/09/06 wahey!!!!!!!!!
Tommy Mc has just reiterated the offer of £83.00, which wont be increased. I am not going to respond at all, they have awknowledged my moneyclaim online case so know they have until Saturday to lodge the defence, if they don't I will enter judgement.
Stacy the RBOS address is in Edinburgh does this make a difference if you are claiming in England. There seems to be some ambiguity over addresses to serve court proceeding be glad if you could clarify it.
RBOS: Fob off letter recieved 28th June.
LBA for £2,690 & LBA for £3,240 sent 1st July. Replt to LBA'S recieved 14/7/06......fob off again!!! watch this space MCOL submitted 19/07/06
I served it on the branch, it got to where it needed to go in the end. The managers appear to be well equiped with there standard letter templates and fob off reasons, they know the score and know what happens next. As I said, my moneyclaim online was served on the branch (not head office in Scotland), it has been awknowledged. I dont think it really matters where you serve it.
