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.
I signed an application form stating that the Estate Agents, acting on behalf of who I hope to be my future landlord, can request basically whatever references they like from my employer.
In the reference request my employer received, the wording includes "and your employees trustworthiness in the way of business to the extent of £x per calendar month".
In stating this, have the Estate Agents breached Data Protection? Surely they should be requesting information and making judgements themselves, rather than giving information and requesting my employers judgement.
I'm a little annoyed that the Estate Agents have revealed this information to my employer, but if it's ok, because I signed the authorisation, then I'm happy.
