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.
A certain bank/building society owned by Lloyds TSB has agreed to pay me all my bank charges back. This only took 3 weeks they are now asking for confidentiality my question is how much should I ask for this?
£50,000 is a very unlikely figure unless you have scored some spectacular victory against them.
You need to give us more details of your victory. Of course to do this in public would frustrate the whole notion of confidentiality - however knowing the deatils will influence the advice you get a great deal.
You can either post the details here or if you want you can contact me in confidence by pm and we can discuss it and I may be able to offer you some advice.
However, if they are asking for confidentiality, it indicates to me that your settlement is not yet completely agreed as presumably the confidentiality is part of the deal.
PM me if you want.
Please don't pm me about specific questions unless you have posted and it has not been dealt with or unless the matter is confidential. Please include a link to the post you want me to look at. If you have received a defence, contact me.

The bank have agreed to pay all the charges levied on my account illegally before the court date on April 3rd. But they have put a clause in saying they require confidentiality before they'll pay. Do I inform the court that they have settled?
Thanks to everyone will send book token on settlement.
I agree with MondeoST24 - start high to test how badly they want it. Don't forget, if you accept you are effectively selling your right to reply, and rights should not be sold cheaply.
However, as BF says, every case has it's own merits, and yours is no different - there could be a catch or there could be something incriminating. Make sure you have all the facts and advice before accepting.

Once again, it ouwl be besy to PM me with some deatils here.
However, my instinct is to say to you to tell them that in that case you will see them in court.
Don't forget that Lloyds is the easiest target here as we have the best evidence against them - the Mcnamara interview which is on soundfile and in transcript in the library.
