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.
If possible please I would like some help with my agreement.
I'm unsure as to what my agreement is with welcome. I bought my vehicle from the wakefield branch of welcome and took their finance in October 2007.
I dont know wether it is a hire purchase agreement or loan as it is secured on the car.
I have spoken to consumer direct and the woman I spoke to yesterday gave me some information, then I spoke to someone different this morning and got a totally different answer.
I want to hand the car back and pay the difference up to the 50% mark. The reason being is that I had a glitch of 1 payment that I made back up, however they now want to rewrite the loan over 7 years still secured on the car and I will end up paying back £17,300 for a car thats £4K so my payments are more managble in their view.
The top of my agreement says "credit agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974"
It gives me the figures ie x amount after 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 etc. But there is no mention of my rights to termination(and that I will be eligble for only 50%
Above this it also states
"you have no right to cancell this agreement under the consumer credit act, timeshare act 1992 and financial services regulation 2004. I have signed my copy of the agreement but welcome have not.
If I end the agreement then I will have to pay the total amount payable
Am I on a HP agreement or on some other credit secured on the car, any help would be much appreciated
sounds like a credit agreement, I dont think you can reschedule a HP agreement.
Whos car is it? if it is on HP it belongs to HP company. It will say on the bill of sale or agreement somewhere.
