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.
Hi i would like to say a big hello to everyone, as i am so ecstatic i have found help to begin battle with my bank.
Over the numbers of years now, i cannot count how many charges they have imposed on me for going as little as £1.60 to a maximum of £10.00 over my overdraft and charging me £35.00 a return.
They are absolutely ruthless and when you ring them to advise them of only going over by a little amount, they just say theres nothing i can do about it!
Try asking them for a higher overdraft on a temporary basis mine is currently at £500 and they always say they have to credit check me, which i know is going to fail anyway due to going over the overdraft limit, so there you are in a catch 22 situation.
You would not believe how relieved i am to find a site that helps people with these problems.
