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.
a sort of fire-fighting role here. Hate HFC & their past compulsory PPI ethos

Re: Police complint regarding there assistance in the repossesion of are vehicle
i would think the police in general knew nothing about the history, but were solely there to prevent a breach of the peace.
it would be nice to think your previous buffing off of the bailliff might have been remembered, but it would have prob been a different officer[s] anyhow.
Re: Police complaint regarding there assistance in the repossesion of are vehicle
hey the police did the same to me, on monday night the repo men came and said they wanted the car , as ive already explained to them on the previous friday that im sorting the arrears out directly with british credit trust not them they brought the police with them , i told the police the car was at the back of my property which you can see from the main road, the driveway up to my drive is joint owned by three other householders . We all have allocated drives. when i said i wasnt goint to hand over the keys the copper said he would arrest me , my wife and give our three young daughters to social services and they would force entry , i gave the keys , they took the car, gave me a piece of paper with my details on it , what i would like to know was, (1) was the police right to do what they did, (2)what should i do now , thanks.
