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.
Ok here goes! Took out a loan for £4000 with these people (for want of a better word ) back in October 2007, got a bit sticky with the payments around christmas and ended up getting a letter of of Anglia bailiffs.... so I'd already paid 14 months of a 2 year loan so this was over 5000. Following charges and arrears, parents lent me £2700 to stop my car being repossessed so total now £7700 at least. I was 2 days late with the next payment and woke up (the day the car was loaded with camping gear for me and the kids) to find one of their luminous yellow clamps.
I was getting really depressed with sorting all this out and after a very irate talk from Anglia's bailiffs I reluctantly thought I had no alternative but to hand my beloved car over. This was in the beginning of April and I haven't heard anything since. However I am carless and probably will be for a while yet.
With them having my car and a fair bit of cash, is there anything that anyone can recommend that I do?
Anglia are not bailiffs regardless of what they say. You need to get in touch with Stephensons solicitors as they have a lot of clients having trouble with lbl.
