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.
At last - a very clear and easy to understand document, which lays out exactly where we claimants stand at present.
It seems there is likely to (eventually) be a way forward under the UTCCR's, and if I read it correctly it seems likely that the OFT will (eventually) state what they believe to be a 'fair' charge, above which they will consider action - very similar to the situation with Credit Cards.
Many thanks for the link MB.
I do my best to be helpful, but at the end of the day I'm not a professional - please seek further advice if you're not sure. On the other hand, if I have helped, please click my scales - thanks

The Q&A link is "consumer friendly" version of the actual Judgment you've linked to, Dave W
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?
It was Winston Churchill who said; "Democracy is the worst way to run a country except for all the others"
