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.
Hi -this is a great site,and has helped me no end. Thank you to everyone.
Story so far - sent off for statements, sent first letter with a standard bog off reply, lba no reply, so went to MCOL. Natwest entered no defence, so was able to gain judgement by default. However, 7 days later, sent info saying they'd 'overlooked' my case, and were going to apply for the default judgement to be set aside. They also wanted a reply to the CPR pt18 - I gave the standard 'small claims track' reply.
In the post this morning a letter from the court has arrived ordering the judgement to be set aside
'1.Further service of defences and part 18 request dispensed with.
2. Claimant to answer defendants part 18 request by 4pm on 30th October 2006
3. Subject to paragraph 2 above and in default the claim shall be struck out. The proceedings be stayed until 31st January, when the Judge will consider further directions.
4. The claimant shall pay the defendants costs assessed at £250 payable by 6th November 2006'
