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, wondered if anyone could help me. I changed bank account approx 3 years ago and wondered if I could claim charges from my previous bank. I have no proof of my previous bank accounts!!!
Hi - take a bit of time to read up first to make sure that you have the facts before going too far ahead. Read the FAQs and template letters then have a good read around here to see how others are getting on. Keep any progress on your own claim or questions that arise in a new thread in the forum for your bank to make it easier for others to follow and advise you. There's a set of links in my sig below that will help you find where all this useful information is. Well done for getting started!

As long as you can provide you name and address at the time (and proof of ID) then you can ask for the data - You'll need to send the ID with your DPA letter and fee otherwise they won't do anything until you do. You can write the letter and then visit a branch with the fee and your ID instead of posting it. Make sure you get a receipt for the letter AND the fee and that it says that ID has been seen.
