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.

a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.

My solicitor-friend advises sending a single letter denying the claim and ignoring all future correspondence. I'm tempted to do that, even if it means opening more letters (they can write until they have run out of stamps as far as I'm concerned)
