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.
Charges have now all been refunded to the bank account..
However, minus the £50 court fee. Will wait until they send me the standard letter about "it's not worth us seeing you in court".. and then let them know about the court fee.
Was asking cos my B/H has a letter from when her account was closed down earlier this year.
It states that a Default Notice was to be issued even though she had something like £300 refunded as "Card Misuse Fee" to zero her negative balance account on the day that they chose to close it.
The fact that she hadn't used it much the previous 6 months and the unauthorised O/D balance was directly caused by their charges seems to have escaped them totally!!!
...So why did they put down that she had previously misused her debit card???
My flexaccount doesn't appear with Experian, only my personal loan with Nationwide...But we have still sent off to check her report with them just in case, before I engage them on her behalf.
I have read on other threads that some people have made it a condition of Full and final settlement for the removal of the Default Notice...and have only accepted the money refund as a partial settlement'
...Overwise it is a whole new and different ball game to try and get just the Default Notice removed.
Which can have be a sting in the tail for someone seeking credit a few years down the line!!!
Could be worthwhile U double checking with your Branch as well as with Experian (...Free Trial online...sign up...then cancel within a month!...lol).
I thought that the standard procedure for banks closing accounts was to give U 30 days notice of closure?
Until the 30 days are up, your account would operate as normal.
Just be wary...
Hope U have already set up a parachute current account elsewhere and transferred DD and SO etc across to it???
