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.

Are you being harrassed by a DCA or Brighthouse. Click the link for OFT Debt collection guidelines. Chances are, they could be in breach of some part of sections 2 or 3 or both!
And if you want to see what BrightHouse have to say themselves, then click below to see their own press release site. Mind you, you would be forgiven for thinking that it was a bit "one-sided" on their press site!!

BRIGHTHOUSE SHINES IN RENTAL BOOM
BrightHouse, owned by private equity firm Vision Capital, saw its underlying revenue increase 13.5 per cent year-on-year in the 13 weeks to December 28. The group, which rents high-end goods to people who cannot get credit, also saw its revenue increase 18.7 per cent to reach 41.7 million pounds in the same period. Vision Capital explained the recession has little effect on its income because its customers are already poor and credit-starved.

NEWS OF THE WORLD - SUNDAY 18TH JANUARY 2009
"House of the Rising Sum"
HOW low can you get? Not much lower than BrightHouse, we'd suggest.
The outfit we expose today exploits the poor and preys on the vulnerable.
In credit crunch Britain the chain store and finance group offers schemes to "help" struggling families buy household goods on the never-never.
But once "extras" are thrown in a £294 washing machine can end up costing an extortionate £722.
Sure, alerts may lie in the small print. But dealing with BrightHouse can result in gloom and despair.
They should be forced to carry a health warning.

And now they are going to try and get un-employment back below 2 million!!!
Just as long as they don't help to educate their customers to the point that they realise they are being ripped off!
