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.
In August 2008, I purchased a very tatty non-running vehicle. This was a private sale to which I obtained a receipt from the seller.
In the meantime, I have spent nearly £3000 in repairs and getting this vehicle on the road. It was a project I got stuck into as I require a larger vehicle for my growing family.
On 24/02/09, a vehicle recovery company turned up at my home and left a letter stating that I have a legal obligation to make the vehicle available for repossesion to LogBook loans.
I am uncertain exactly where I stand on this issue and LogBook loans are saying that they have interest in the vehicle, it is HPI registered and the only way I can have title rights is if I pay them for it.
I have told logBook loans that they will need a court order to get the vehicle due to the fact I have bought in good faith and also having spent a large amount of cash on it, I am unwilling to release it. Unless I can find a way out of this, I intend to strip the vehicle of everything I have spent on it, return it to the person I bought it off and tell them to pick it up from there. I will probably lose my initial cash purchase as the person I purchased it off will not have the money to pay me back.
Hi we in the same boat as you read the thread asking for third party victims of logbook loans for our story.
We lost our car and are now fighting to gain something.
Hope you have more luck than us. Would you like your story in a national paper we are working with one at the moment regarding our story we would be very happy to pass your story to them.
At least you have had some advance warning...if i were you i would go to court immediately today!! that is .. and follow frustrated uk advice i did yesterday and got an exparte injuction against mm. it costs £150 and well worth every penny to stop them in their tracks. This will force them to come to court before they can touch the car.
gees 53 The only reason I got pre-warned was due to the fact that the vehicle was at a garage having some more work done on it so they could not find the car at the time of their visit.
The vehicle is well and truly hidden now. It is a project and though I currently do not need this vehicle I will by September. The vehicle was almost a scrapper when I bought it so I have no qualms in getting another piece of junk and repairing it using bits off this one and let LBL have a pile a scrap metal to take with them.
In this respect I have a little time to play with. They can try whatever they like. I am not the type of person who tollerates bullies so strong-arm tatics will not work here. LBL will need a court order or else the vehicle stays hidden.
I am currently talking to LBL and I am awaiting their response. Will keep you all posted.
wearecarless Thanks for the invitation, I do not see what help a paper can be to me at present, but you can pass the detail on if you so wish. I have time on my side on this occasion which is where I am slightly a bit luckier than some of the people that have come up against LBL.
They day our car was took it was sold within 4 hours. We were told it would be held for 5 days, but went straight to auction.

The paper we are working with have run LBL stories before and are keen to carry on running stories. By running the stories people are getting to know what king of company they are thus meaning LBL get less customers. The less customers they get the better. The paper have already been told about this site and are looking through it to see what has happened to others in all areas concerning LBL.
We told them today they already started looking.
Our story will be in hopefully next wednesday or the wednesday after.
