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.
just a quick update that i've sorted all my little queries and have now sent my lba.s for all three accounts. hopefully will hear soon and let you all know.
thanks Austen i didn't realise i was doing the threads bit wrong...so do i just keep using the quick reply at the bottom of this thread each time i want to add a new bit??...is there any way to link all of mine up now i've messed up and got bits all over the forum
just an update on whats been happening,, i have just recieved a letter saying my account is being passed to a debt collection agency . i am now aware that they can't do this as my account is in dispute so thanks for the advice MUM OF THREE BOYS.
further updates: i have just received my first offer of £890 on case 1 against the woolwich which i intend to decline as the full amount is £1810... am hoping to get offers on the other two accounts so i can do the same. I was really getting worried after not hearing from my bank but now i have no fear about taking it all the way to court if needed..
MY letter of rejection has been sent lets hope they hurry and make another offer or i will be seeing them in court ...although the £890 would come in very handy right now i cant just throw the rest away and i will be a lot happier with £1800 when it comes...lol I still haven't heard anything back on my other two accounts with the woolwich but the deadline dates are the same on those so i will not be messing around.
Have had another letter from woolwich about my joint account and they are charging anothe £81 in overdraft fees, can i add this to my claim when i go to court?

Yes you can, if it is taken before you start your claim (as far as I know). I would PM a Mod to merge your threads, no offence, it will help you and us to keep up to speed on your progress
Further update: my N1 forms are complete and i am ready(i think) to go to the court in the morning and get the ball rolling , real scared though in case i haven't done something right and end up with diddly squat. One bonus for me is that i haven't got to pay my court costs as i am exempt through disability which makes life a lot easier....no cash up front !!!! will keep you posted on how it goes...
Been to court today what a nightmare!!! trying to put in three claims so 9 N1 forms and no help from the gentleman behind the counter!!!
didn't expect it to be all plain sailing but i am now actually really nervous about the whole thing! am sat here with three files full of statements and letters sent and recieved one for each account and am at a loss as to what i have to duplicate to go with the N1 form. I hope this all works out just hope i dont actually have to go to court although i will only i will be a bundle of nerves.

Re: LBA'S sent
I'm confused! It read to me that you have filed 3 claims and are now wondering what copies need to be duplicated. Surely you submitted the copies with your claim today? If I have missed the obvious its because I'm having a bad day!
sorry thailand i wasn't very clear . i was going to file three claims today but was sent home with all my files and 9 N1's and told to duplicate x3 anything relevant to my claim. Then return tomorrow to the court with it all done . Do i include every bit of paperwork since the SAR or just the basics of the claim? I am blonde but not normally dumb so i do apologise for scatty brain at the moment but im baffled.
johnni2bad court bundle was huge when i looked at that but was that a second lot put together including every piece of info ready to actually appear in court....im just lost with it all now....

Re: LBA'S sent
Okay! Don't worry about the bundle stuff at this stage - you may never need it(I have printed this off - but not read it, I'm running on the assumption this is just if you are heading to a hearing). This is what I entered on my mums claim:
3 X N1
3 X Comms between you and Bank (and since I had the statements, I didn't bother with the DPA/SAR stuff - just did from LPA onwards.
3 X schedule of charges.
Clip them into 3 seperate lots. One for the bank, one for the court and one to be returned for you. (I didn't do 3x everything - just two - it seemed pointless to print a third copy to be returned to me)
I could be corrected on that - but I think its correct!
Thanks thailand, that was what i needed a nuge in the right direction with basic instructions...Have you ever felt like yr brain was going to explode....and the more i read the worse it got...lol
i will now get my claims in order and go back in the morning and try again. i am so glad this site is here with people like you to help out or i would of dropped it all by now..
thanks again

I know exactly what you mean
Michael, shouldn't we still forward SOC, even at MCOL?

Yes, although a lot of people don't until asked for them by the bank's solicitors and if you phone MCOL they'll tell you not to and to send them with your aq, but I suspect that's because they're swamped with claims and could do without the extra work.
