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.
from what i have seen on earlier posts, it is wiser to claim for the longest living set of 750 first, and do not incvlude interest add ons at that stage. then when you are successful with the first and court has given you interest add ons, then write and tell them that your current oustanding debts are £xxxx, and ask for payment or then claim for the next longest 750. etc etc . yes your 39 fees are costs that can be added after 750 and also interest at court stage
Hi,
Firstly, are you claiming through the English small claims system? you mentioned the Moneyclaim (MCOL) which is the English Small Claims version.
If you are not a resident in England you must have an English address for a base for any replies from the court.
Second, the maximum is £5000.00 principle sum (the amount you are claiming for)in England. In Scotland it is either £750.00 Small Claims, or £1500.00 Summary Cause Claim. (both a £39.00 fee)
When you register the claim, the % will be automatic when your claim is paid out.
The fee is £120.00 paid up front online- debit or credit card, and will be paid back to you when your claim is finalised.
I think i,ve kinda covered everything
Hope this helps.
Cheers T.D.
