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.
anyone know what the legal issues might be in having a (properly rent paid if necessary) stall situated outside a bank advising customers about claiming back bank charges?
can we really get in the banks faces like this legally?
Everytime I go in to Huntingdon I take the tear off slips with the CAG web addy on it, and as I walk past the banks I casually inquire if people are having problems with bank chargesto just take the slip and check out the site. So far no-one has refused the offered slip.
I have done to letter box drops in my local area also. I am not so sure about a stall, isn't that up to the local council to grant a permit for it. if the council gives you a permit I guess you could go for broke.
I think that's right, Battleaxe (love the avatar BTW!) - Tha bank doesn't usually own the pavement in front of the branch, the council does. If they won't allow you to set up a stall, you might still be able to stand there, with one of those "poppy collector" type of trays, and hand out info.
I'd love to put a CAG sticker on every 'black' hole in the wall......would CAG be held responsible? surely it's an individual thing? love to do it though......

Maybe targeting places like job centres would be better, everyone needs help there?
Willow - that's brill. You can get sticky labels for use on home printers (more & more of us use them at Christmas for our card list envelope addresses).
And jobcentres - yes indeed. People there have often got the time to do this, and would appreciate the money. Pity it's not an instant return, though.
WHY not do a posting on the nottingham forest website on bbc.co.uk/606 forum word would travel fast on their
Capital One sponsor Forest but the fans will quite easily "tear the shirt from their backs" e
possibly the football result might be
capital 1 provinces 2
Kent put a couple of the tear posters on the notice board at the RAF base where he is stationed.
I love the idea of a sticky label on the holes in the wall. Hell i am even getting mail addressed to me as a CAGer, because the ladies down the post office pass the word on for me. I am not sure how many people have looked at the site because of all of this, but even ten people being helped is better than none. Bankfodder and Dave will just have to ask for DNA tests to be carried out on the labels
I'm off to Leeds this morning and you guessed it, I am putting a tear off poster on the hospital notice board, in the lounge. When cancer hits it's a double whammy and people have lost their homes because of the illness rending them incapable of continuing work. We are the lucky ones, still able for kent to continue working for as long he is able. That as they say is another story, so let the cancer serve a double purpose and help others regain bank charges. This woman is on a crusade.
When I first moved to my current house about 4 1/2 years ago, there was a guy who used to park outside a large branch of Barclays with a trailer with a huge board full of letters and a full history of how he had been ripped off by Barclays. I don't think he won his case.
The point is this, he was never moved on by the Police. Unfortunately, I never spoke to him, and he doesn't appear there anymore.
As i walk opast the holes in the walls, I hand out my CAG web tags to anyone who will take them. I did post a couple of sticky labels on the A & L machine the other day. I know the CCTV was operating. hey I like to live dangerously.
I take great delight in doing a letter box drop at the weekend, just a friendly note with the CAG website on it.
