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've posted this thread before, but cant find it anywhere.
Anyway, I posted my first leter with details of charges on 14th Nov. - reply received by the infamous Tommy Boy McLean. "we believe our charges are fair yada yada yada!".
lba sent today - 28th Nov.
Will keep you posted!!!!
just a point to add....I have submitted a total claim (aprrox £3500) for my two accounts. i have since read elsewhere tat you shouldn't submitt more than one claim? Will this be a problem?
Also, what is the probability of them closing your account after payment has been made following a succesful claim?
i submitted 2 claims with the same bank, both combined so in effect it was one cliam, it shouldnt be a problem as they paid up in the end as for them closing the account, mine wasnt altho it is now inactive cos i changed accounts hehe
if the 14 day deadline is up and no response from the banks, then it is time to submit the court forms, personally i`d submit N1 form via your local county court, but thats just my 2 pennies worth, altho there is nowt wrong with MCOL, i just prefer the paper version.
Thanks!
Off to local court then! I will download the N1 form and fill it out.
Quick question....I'm claiming total £3573.95, so now i add 8% interest, so means total claim now - £3859,87. Should I add that into my schedule of charges total or do I need to show seperate 8% for each charge?
Mr McLean,
On 27th November, I sent a letter to yourself expressing my displeasure at your response to my request for refund of bank charges. Detailed within this letter (attached) I expressed to you that I had set a deadline of 14 Calendar days in which to respond to me. The 14 days have expired today and I have received no response to my letter.
Due to the Royal Bank of Scotland’s failure to comply, I am now processing my claim via the local district court at East Kilbride Civic Centre. I will be submitting the relevant forms and schedule of charges this afternoon. Now I will also be claiming 8% contractual interest on top of my initial claim and all costs incurred during this claim.
For your reference, see attached details of all charges against my two accounts.
I will gladly accept FULL payment of my claim to date by return to prevent RBS with MORE court action, but rest assured, I am pursuing this avenue unless my full amount is refunded before the court date.

Thanks for letting me know your intentions. We wouldn't be able to respond
to you with a decision for a little while yet. We consider claims of a size
such as yours carefully and we have a large number on the go at the moment.
That being the case, you are probably right to progress matters through the
courts.
I am sorry we were not able to reach agreement quickly enough.
Well, despite other emails from Mr T where he asked me to give them a little longer, I'm process with court proceedings.
Can anyone tell me in regards to interest, do you claim 8% interest per day + 8% APR now?
As below:
Total Charges - £3,573.95
Daily interest @ 8% - £628.48
8% APR of total charges- £285.92
Total Claim - £4488.35
sorry one more thing.....who file claim via court against? your branch or Tommy McLean? I dont know the branch manager's name, so ok to just put Bank Manager down?
I used the branch...it says in Court Guidance notes for N1 to use the registered address or a business address that '....has a real, or the most, connection with the claim.'
Thanks!
For Scotland it is slightly different. it asks for name and address of person of whom claim is against.....so maybe technically just need to put RBS and branch address.
Do you have any idea about the interest to claim? 8% daily interest + 8% APR or just one or the other?
