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.
Finally received the rest of my statements today and have been putting relevent charges into a spreadsheet this evening. £780.00 since I opened my account in 2002.
I was expecting a further charge of £28 yesterday, but having just checked my statement on internet banking, they haven't. They have just charged the Advantage Gold subscription fee of £12. Hmm........

Took my prelim letter into my branch on Wednesday, 2/8 and got a signature for it. I am a courier and so I used one of my own "proof of delivery" forms.

Received a standard reply saying no this morning. It is word for word the same as many other people on here have received. However it is from the local branch manager and not from the now infamous S Higley at Borehamwood.
Question: should I send my lba now or wait until the 14 days in my prelim letter are up ?

I am inclined to agree, however, does anyone disagree ?

I agree, carry on. You've had the brush-off reply in response to your first letter. So now's the time for your LBA. I'd suggest that this one goes to Borehamwood, so you are sure that it isn't just being dealt with within the branch. Perhaps you should also attach copies of your first letter, and the branch manager's reply (not forgetting the schedule of what you would actually like them to refund!

Do you know, they didn't charge me either for some charges like i was expecting!! I sent in my S.A.R and suddenly the charges have really slowed down. Yes go ahead and send in the prelim letter. I sent mine special delivery to their head office.

If you dealt with branch manager send lba to branch manager becuase then it will be taken over by Customer Relations Unit and the now (in)famous Stuart Higley
I like to think of him as a poor man who started off his career wanting to make people happy, but now finds he is forced to break all his own aspirations and principles because he a gun is being held against his head by the Natwest Bosses to make him write all these letters saying nasty stuff.
Right, will draft my lba this weekend and serve it on the branch on Monday.

Posted my lba through the branch letterbox this morning, so they'll see it 1st thing tomorrow morning.

Received my reply to my lba today. It was the usual brush off, but was from the infamous Mr Higley this time. So I will be typing up my county court claim shortly. I am not going to use Moneyclain-online, I will use the paper based process at my local county court.
Nat west have indicated on my monthly statement that there will be a further charge of £28 at the end of this month. I think I will drop them a line along the lines of "if this leaves my account, I will start further legal action".
What do you good people think ?

If you have already sent in your lba the bank are already aware that you are intending to start legal action, however you may want to wait till this charge comes out of your account and you can add this to your claim if you wish.
