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.
Sat with my statements , print outs and highlighter pen last night, woah ! 4 figure sum and the first one is 3.
I am unclear even after much reading around the forum, which charges I claim back ...
-all charges.
-o/draft interest.
-only the charges that are less than the amount of the transaction.
-unauthorised use of o/draft.
Anything which is a charge for doing something you're not supposed to, like bouncing a cheque/DD, or going overdrawn without permission. Also, you need to add interest of 8% per annum to the charges. There is a spreadsheet on the forum somewhere with the formulas all set up, so all you have to do is blug in the dates and amounts.
