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.
Got my 6 years statements from Natwest 2 days ago, only took a week but in the usual tatty envelope which was ripped open.
Going to send the first letter (template) to the branch over the weekend. One question.. can i photocopy the statements highlighting the charges and send that (easy peasy, im in work now)? or is it best to type up in an excel sheet and send?? Guess thatll take a while so could be a sunday jobbie.
Ive worked it out quickly with calculator and its just over £5k, im gonna knock it down a bit to keep in small claims. Any advice at this stage? allways recorded delivery? should i ever need to phone them to chase?
Been reading thru this site and MSE for weeks (every day) and think im well clued up enough to start with a reasonable amount of confidence. but its good reading anyway.
any way my journey starts here. wish I would have done it a while ago and got some thing for xmas! but hopefully something to look forward to!
Success!!!

Was very lazy and didnt send my 1st letter off until the 17th Jan, even though i got my statements back in December. Letter through the post this morning (29th Jan) offering full amount as good will. Cant believe how quick it was! 12 days after 1st letter.
A very long letter defending charges but right at the end, last paragraph, a HOWEVER..... we will pay you as good will gesture!!! lovely jublee!
Wish I wouldnt have been so lazy and done it sooner!
