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.
I'm trying to help a friend here but I'm stumped. He was made redundant 5 months ago, couldn't afford mortgage, etc. Then lender has applied for a Court date to gain a Possession Order. All fine so far. He thought it would take them a month or so to get a hearing date and in the meantime he would have time to raise some money by selling a car and looking for another full time job (he's temping at the moment).
However he has received a hearing letter from the Court and solicitors today for a hearing on Tues 16th March. That seems a bit quick! Whilst he does owe the money is it reasonable to give him a hearing date at such short notice? If he attends he's not sure how his temp work employers will react and stands to lose a days money too - something which he can ill afford.
