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 found this item on Brodies website: Brodies LLP that makes me think that the whole matter may well be irrelevant if I settle and that the letter from the creditor would be admissible in court.
Where negotiations to reach a settlement are successful and the without prejudice correspondence constitutes a binding contract, the correspondence may be produced to prove that such a contract has been entered into.
I've recently received another letter offering to accept the sum of £1111.11 in Full and final settlement of an account which has the rather lengthy phrase found in Monty's post http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...ml#post1877790. I cannot see how this phrasing would make any difference and if the amount is paid the letter could still be produced despite their insistence on "express written consent".
