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.
right my girlfriend applied and got accepted for hardship from the Natwest her claim was in the region of £10,000 over a period 6 years now with the court decision she applied for hardship now they have give her an offer of £4019.00 now can you refuse the first offer or take what you given is her claim still ongoing(10k minus 4k)?? she has a loan with the natwest which has been frozen does this have to be paid out of the money it was orignally for £1750 with £600 protection but 24.1% apr whitch and think sounds like loan shark rates but what do i know.
could any one give us any advice of what to say or to agree on just dont want to be duped by these bas£$%S
Phoned up and they were on about we would
have to pay the loan off out of the offer is this
normal practice if so she wouldn't have much left
to help her in fianicial hardship?
Is these offers like insurance claims were you get
improved offers when you refuse one she was
offered £6k when she first put the claim in a few
years ago.
Thanks for the reply!! Yes it was took out with the loan we are in the process of claiming
for that! does 24.1% seem extremely high to you she was deffo
took advantage of she only took the loan to clear the overdraft
she was getting all the charges on.
Do you know if you get any more offers or is it a case of get what
you given?

Re: hardship offered what now
24.1% isnt excessive.
But that is in your favour now.
It means you can claim back interest on the mis sold PPI and county court interest at the same rate.
I work out that she is owed £2565.25 mis sold PPI, including the original £600 premium.
You can add another £1900 odd on top of that for county court interest.
Shes been offered £4004 for "hardship".
How much does she owe them as of now?
It seems from an earlier post that you say that this £4000 would clear the debt?
This "hardship" offer I dont understand. Banks dont give money away to alliviate hardship in others. Very interesting. I wonder why they want they to go away so much they want to wipe out her debt?
Please explain. Could you scan the offer letter and post it up here after deleying all personal details, so I can see what they actually saying and more importantly- not saying.
Does it include your PPI claim or is it a separate issue?
What about accepting the £4000, thus clearing the debt and then screwing them for the PPI afterwards?
The fact that they've offered her £4000 odd for something called "hardship" would indicate that they would rather like to avoid having to explain something to a judge...
Remember that the courts decided that the bank charges cant be assessed for fairness under the regs the OFT wanted to, and so the banks dont have to refund any money.
we havent started a claim for the PPI yet we were gunna print the letter of this site and post it.
shes not sure how much she owes(gunna phone tomoro) but was paying it still upon till a few months ago the offer wold wipe it.
whats county court interest??
hiya, i phoned my bank and they said the money thery offered me would go straight into the Natwest account, which i havnt had for 7yrs by the way, and any outstanding debt will be paid off with that money, the amount they said still owing on that loan is £3,300, i spoke to the financial hardship team and said i was shocked at how much PPI i had on my loan and they gave me a number to phone, it was the insurance, they checked and said i wasnt even on the database as having insurance with them, i then spoke to the hardship team but they dont deal with that so they sent me a form to fill out to cancel the insurance so i faxed it over the other day in work, but i am still undecided whether to sign the form to except the settlement figure because for 1 i never had ins in the first place so they have messed up somewhere and i need some more advice, can anyone help.
