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.
Sorry if this has been covered, i'm sure it has but I can't find it.
Like many people I have just been too busy to proceed with a claim having had the usual rebuff from my letter before action, but since they have now sent me a letter ("Formal notice of intention to file a default and to take action to recover debt") I'm now almost ready to send off my claim for just over £600.
The debt they are claiming is for the overdraft on my noe disused account of £285.72 which is entirely made up of bank charges and presumably interest.
My question is, because the collections centre are based in Scotland can I still issue a county court claim against them or do I send it to my local branch? I'm based in Blackpool, England.
Thanks, that's a great help. I did look at that list but there were so many addresses I didn't know where to start - I have also had letters from Telford.
The point I was getting at is I think the rules are different in Scotland so I didn't want to send the stuff to the Scottish office only to find out later the claim was invalid because of the different rules.
