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.
I wrote to mint asking for my late payment fee back and they've said no.

Advice given is purely my opinion, and is not based on any legal training.
The banks play on the fact that it's only 20 quid here - 40 quid there - 120 the next month.
Remember this adds up to 3.5 billion quid!!!
They are not legally entitled to the money.
YES, it's worth pursuing - everyone should do this. The banks need to be shown that they can no longer push-over the push-overs.
The banks make quite enough money legitimately without having to resort to underhand, unlawfull tactics to penalise people who can least afford it.
Make it your mission to get the 20 quid back!
It's one in the eye for them, and one in the pocket for you.
£20 is almost a meal out - it's certainly a take-away that you may consider not having because you can't afford it.
Everytime I have a take-away, I think "can I afford this?" - the answer, in your case is "yes".
Get the money back and have a curry.
