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.
Hi There, I Hope you can advise me what to do now with a CCA challenge against Alliance & Leicester.
I am currently making them reduced payments and they have frozen the interest, I have not defaulted on the agreement.
In December 08 I used 'Oasis' Claims Company to challenge this Credit Card agreement with Alliance & Leic. Oasis were charging no fees, but have now pulled out of the CCA aspect of their business, their clients me included have been sent all the correspondence. So, I am hoping that I can deal with it myself as I cannot afford to pay fees to any other claims company. I assume that I can take over the claim as Oasis were just 'representing' me.
They originally wrote to A & L on 06/12/08 requesting a true copy of my CCA. They seem to have done it correctly and sent my 1.00 pound cheque. A & L did not respond. They were written to again 19/01/09 and then did respond on 28/01/09 by sending a totally illegible agreement and their current terms & conditions. In their letter they state that 'all the necessary and prescribed terms are included in the cca' But I cannot read most of it, it seems to be the original application form 'doubling up' as the cca. It does say along the top CREDIT AGREEMENT REGULATED BY THE CONSUMER CREDIT ACT.

my views are my own...seek legal advice if ness
NEVER EVER - act on a private message asking you to visit another website, make contact 'off list' or by telephone
- alert the siteteam IMMEDIATELY by hitting the black warning triangle on any message - Particularly if this results in a request to pay a fee to help you.
rather than hittting to be my friend - hit the star
I sent off the 'default/ I do not acknowledge any debt' letter and have had no response from A & L. Should I send a SAR request and complain to the FSA etc, any advise about what to do next?
I have send ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE LETTER and not had any response.
Also, I have now complained to fos, complained to my Local Trading Standards, (I have a meeting with them on 16/07/09) will post outcome later and have emailled my MP & AM (I live in Wales)
I guess the next stage is sending a letter before action can anyone suggest a letter for me to send? They have not defaulted me; I am on reduced payments & no interest.
1/ I want to threaten court action for disclosure (CCA agreement) but what do I quote?
2/ I want to advise them that I believe they don't have a enforceable agreement.
3/ I want to tell them to stop processing my data.
