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.

Added up the late payment fees and the unpaid convenience cheque fees and get a grand total of £305 Will draft my prelim letter tonight and post tomorrow.
quick question ...
I have, for example,
14 JUN LATE PAYMENT FEE 20.00
14 JUN interest - SEE SUMMARY 14.85
14 JUN INTEREST - SEE SUMMARY 28.45
14 JUN INTEREST - SEE SUMMARY 0.26
In the 'summary of balances' the interest is purchases, cash & convenience cheques. Don't suppose I can claim any of those interest charges back can I
im still languishing in the prelim letter stage, trying to work out what interest to go for.....i think im stalling myself instead of just going for it..
The RBoS statements are really hard to decipher....is that deliberate??

For sure it's deliberate - I guess anything to put us off claiming . I'm still just going for the 8% interest to be honest, as claiming the higher rate is still over my wee head never mind i'm happy with what i'm going for.
They received my letter on the 8th but I have not even had an acknowledgement from them, never mind the standard bogoff letter, so i'll keep you posted on the outcome of the lba.
Nothing ventured nothing gained TD - go for it and before you know it you'll be running down to the bank with your cheque.
did you MCOL the RBOS?(i love acronyms)...following this with interest as i'm going to do the same in the next 4 weeks.
cheers
