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.
Hi. Have read on the small claims court that people on certain benefits/tax credits are exempt from the initial charges to go to small claims court. Am I right in assuming that this would apply to these cases? I think this would help a lot of the most vulnerable people be able to follow this course of action where only fthe financial outlay is stopping them.

About exemption
You may be exempt from paying a court fee which means that you do not have to pay it, by law.
You will be exempt from paying a fee if:
you or your partner receive the benefit Income Support. Partner means someone to whom you are married, or who you live with as if you were married to them.
you receive the benefit Income-based Job Seeker's Allowance.
your gross annual income (your income before income tax and other money is taken away) is £14,213 or less, and you receive the entitlements:
· Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit (you must receive both),
or
· Working Tax Credit which has a 'disability element' or severe disability element'.
The Inland Revenue will send you an award notice that shows your annual income. This is your gross annual income. If it is more than £14,213, the court may suggest that you apply for remission. If you receive Working Tax Credit, the award notice will show if you receive a 'disability element' or 'severe disability element'"
