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 my ex out with this one, so apologies if it's a bit sketchy on the details.
The situation is she is in debt with both the council for tax and also privately for her rented house. She has been to court already and apparently has about 2 weeks to go before she is evicted with a child as well, also she has a CCJ becuase of the above..
Now she is currently looking for private accomm to move into when she gets evicted, I've suggested she talks to the council and gets them to do the leg work as they have some responsibility in these matters rather than take that route.
I'm sure there will be questions that I need to answer so I can get a full answer, but I need to get the ball rolling really. Any help or advice will be greatfully received.
Do you have a local law centre or CAB, there is often a housing specialist who can assist with these matters, 2 weeks is not a long time so it is most important to get the ball rolling so to speak.
