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.
In October I ordered a new motorhome from a major motorhome dealer. The vehicle will not be available until May 2010. I paid a deposit of £2000 but also early part exchanged my existing motorhome valued at £17000.
It was my understanding that the total of £19000 was protected under consumer legislation in the event of the Company going into liquidation but I've recently come across something suggesting that deposits of this nature have no protection whatsoever.
Can anyone advise:
1. Whether there is any protection afforded to deposits in the event of a Company ceasing to trade and;
2. Am I entitled to the value of the motorhome I have traded in (valued at £17000) returned until my new vehicle is available for collection.
Sorry, can't help, but I'm bumping you back up to the top of the forum.

I am not an expert in law, finance or any related field, I just read a lot. Any advice is based solely on what I've read so please don't take it as gospel without checking it out yourself.
I prefer not to give advice by PM. If you want me to look at something, send me a link to your thread, and if I can help I'll reply on there.
Are Deposits Protected
