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.
Two years ago, I had to give up work to look after my wife. I applied for benifefits incliding the interest on our mortgage to be paid. B'ham Midshires managed to lose 3 of the forms they were supposed to send to the DWP. All the time we were falling further and further into arrears. They ulimatly applied for and got a possession order. My father in law paid 75% of the arrears and we managed to get the order suspended on the agreement we paid extra each month until the arrears were cleared. We abided by this and are now clear. I asked them to write to the court to advise them and after several phone calls they finally did this. I then made an application to the court to have the possession order removed. B'ham midshires wrote to the court advising they would not attend and did not oppose. However the Judge said he couldn't remove the order as it was correct at the time of issue. He then went onto say he didn't know what order to make. He was going to strike out, but I managed to get an adjornment, but I have to provide both him and the solicitors with a draft order. Sorry this is long winded, but can anyone help?
hi ED
i would suggest you get this moved to the general section, as its not really a mortgage question, more of a legal one
you should get more help in there
