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.
After many years of regular duals with NW i have finally gotten into the position of wanting to take them for everything i can get.
I have received a letter asking me to contact them immediately otherwise the will take one or more of the following actions:
Recovery action - realisation of security / seizure of assets
Legal action - repossession blah blah
Passing details on to Debt Recovery Agents
Now all this sounds pretty heavy and is intended to but i'm unsure what to say to them.
I'm intending to go through the procedure to reclaim my charges (about £500 before interest) but not sure how to put the bank on hold until i've collated all the necessary paperwork.
Basically i have two accounts with NW, one is overdrawn by £43 with a £2300 limit and the other is £420 overdrawn with a £100 limit. They want both accounts paid back. The accounts haven't really been used for the last few years and the amounts owed are entirely charges, default notices and interest.
I have written a couple of letters requesting refunds but they are sticking to their guns.
I don't want a black mark against my credit, which they are threatening to do, as i may have a need to take out a mortgage and credit cards in the near future.
I've been fighting NW for years and have had some sucess in having individual charges refunded. Their latest charges (£450 to date, for bouncing 2 d/d's for less than £50 which then took me over the limit etc etc) were the final straw and i want to cause as much hassle to them as i can.
I kind of hope they will take me to court, i can defend or counterclaim but i suspect they won't. Anyone got any suggestions?
