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.
With my lloydstsb bank account claim settled, I'm eager to start on both my credit cards now, Halifax & Cahoot.
I made a subject access requests to Halifax a few weeks back, and have today received my statements. Pressumably the two fee's claimable with credit cards are "overlimit fee's & late payment fee's"?
hi 121
just a quick question, did you get all your info from your SAR in one lump?
I'm really perplexed as I got mine today but all I have is from 2003 - beg of 2006, just wondering whether to hassle for the rest of it they might come seperately?
good luck with your claim
My statements start from 2003 and continue till present. I estimate I am missing approximately 2 years worth (2001 - 2003). I have sent a non compliance letter and suggest you do the same.
wow, speedy reply thanks very much 121!
It was a really rude letter, just addressed me by surname, no Ms, and wasn't even signed HUMPH!!!
non compl letter off toot sweet!
Enjoy the trip to the Post Office (you are sending it registered?) LOL

Have received a letter from the Halifax this morning.
It says that my account was opened on the 1st of April 2003. However I know it was opened before then.
I had reported my card lost/stolen once and I was given a new account number. I'm presuming that the statemetns they've sent relate to just my new account number and not my old one.
If this is true, I presume I would need to write to them again with the old account number (if I can find it) and send a seperate SAR? Aslo it would be 2 claims to start?
Probably worth giving them a call. There should have been a name on the letter they sent to advise they were sending statements out, although there may not be a number. Try 01422 380880, the main switchboard at Trinity Road.
If you can find the old account roll number then ask them to provide details on that as well, pointing out the problem that caused the account to be changed.
Depending on the total, you could lump them together in your claim. Just keep the details seperate so they can also do the calculations.

I have today received (in response to my lba) a letter saying...
"To demonstrate our commitment to you as a valued customer I have refunded your account with £565.00 which represents the total charges on the account."
Its the full amount I asked for, with no conditions attached and I didn't even start the MCOL.
Oh, that's not on! The rest of us were not valued customers then ???
Seriously though, well done on your win!
