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.
Michael I read this and there was a part about charges for minors. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have never read the argument that the Credit Consumer Act which states that credit cannot be given to minors was ever mentioned by the oft(for reference Q4). That is very poor.

Re: OFT Bank Charges Q&A Update 14/08/08
Does;
Wrote to banks with provisional views on fairness
And;
Depends on outcome of investigation & banks engagement
Mean that if the Banks agree with the OFT on the issue of fairness (and, presumably, the OFT's recommendations to make the system fairer for consumers) that a deal will be done "behind closed doors" and we will only see the fallout?
Also, if the Banks don't agree with the OFT (or their recommendations, if they have made them) what is the point of muddying the waters by issuing this timelime that suggests a deal is about to be done, exactly?
By the way, I have read point 6, but I'm suspicious and don't believe what has been said is right, which is why I'm asking the question here.
Always happy to help where I can!
Beware of legal advice given on a private forum - do you REALLY know who is posting? Are they REALLY accountable for their posts? What if you follow their advice and get something wrong?
