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.
· details of any agreements between lender/broker/packager, written or unwritten, in relation to commissions or any other payments
· Underwriting sheet or other such document recording any commission (or other) payment made to an intermediary or packager
Be advised that if it is returned and there is no figure on the sheet it has probably been deleted, in which case you can order them to confirm that it is a true copy, and possibly inspect the original....

So what would be the first stes to getting the underwriting sheet? do we just send them a letter requesting it?
As for the "evidence" i am guessing that we would need to provide the request and details about other instances of secret comissions?

If you are in any doubt please seek the advice of a qualified and insured legal professional.
I write with regards to the above account with your organisation.
I respectfully request that you provide me by return a true copy of the underwriting sheet or any other documents showing any commissions paid by you to the broker or by the broker to you. I require this as I have reason to believe that there may be undisclosed commissions.
Obviously if the agreement is improperly executed I would be entitled to ask the court to consider the agreement and make a declaration of the rights of parties to the agreement.
I must stress this request is NOT made pursuant to section 78 Consumer Credit Act 1974 but is made pursuant to the Civil Procedure Rules ( Pre action protocols and Part 31.16) and therefore only a copies of the original documents in its unaltered form will suffice in these circumstances
I do not view this as an unreasonable request given that by supplying the document which I have asked for it will allow me to assess if my case has merit and will help to resolve matters possibly without the need to involve the court and will undoubtedly save costs on both sides
I look forward to your reply and would ask for a response by 4pm on XXXX Date ( Give 21 days to respond)
Regards

Re: Underwriting Sheet - Using CPR31.16
Hi 42man,
We specifically asked for a copy of the Underwriting Sheet or other document showing commission in our SAR, but what we received was an A4 sheet with details of our income, property value, other mortgage plus lots of other figures relating to these etc but absolutely no reference to commission etc. In their accompanying letter they refer to this document as the 'Underwriting details'. Now I don't know whether this is what an underwriting sheet would look like if there WAS no secret commission, or whether they have deliberately sent us something different assuming we wouldn't know what it should look like (which we don't!). We did pay a disclosed commission to the broker, but this isn't mentioned on there as far as I can see either.
Regards,
Landy x

Just a bit of tweaking to remove the CCA stuff 42Man. Still needs to be checked by a Guru though

When you make a request for the Underwriting-Sheet using the CPR31.16 rule does this only apply to CCA requests under £25k or can this method be used to send to Financial Institutions (Loan Companies) secured loans over £25k?
If the loan companies i.e are unregulated can a borrower still make this request of the underwriting sheet to their loan provider?
thanks for any response or help regarding the above questions.

Re: Underwriting Sheet - Using CPR31.16
Hi everyone
I was wondering if I could use CPR 31.16 in the following situation -
I have an issue where M&S Money are refusing to refund some charges which they say were incurred as a result of legal action being taken against Mr Landy. We received no court papers relating to this.
Having done a SAR there were no copies of any documents relating to legal action, only a note that his account was being referred to litigation in July 2008. In November 2008 we repaid the account in full and closed it. If he had been taken to court surely there would have been notification of some kind?
Would it be possible to use CPR 31.16 to find out if any legal action was ever started against Mr L, and if so what do we need to ask for?
M&S have offered to refund some charges and it is my intention to file at court for the full amount, so would be using this as a pre-action protocol, but obviously don't want to do so until I am certain we are entitled to reclaim them all!

You can make a CPR31.16 request but the other side does not have to anything about it at all .they can and do ignore it..........but once you have made it they cannot produce any more documents to use against you after the date of the request..........the thing about this CPR 31.16 is that you can ask the Court to make an order for specific disclosure......that is to say if you want a specific document .you can force it to be produced under this CPR Order, the problem under this CPR is that it is a very tight CPR............. you must give exact and precise instructions about what you want and why you want it it ...Courts are not too forthcoming in making such an order that is why you must be precise and to the Book ..............believe me I've used it once before...and it is a tight one. .............Cost me £85 for the application for the order to be made.
