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 have just filed aq and have received my notice that Woolwich have to file theirs by 29th January.
I never received my statements from my S.A.R. I actually received a Breakdown of all charges, balance at date etc.
1. Is this what others have received.
2. Will I need all the statements for the case.
3. What is the average stage that Woolwich will go to.
They are getting longer away due to the banks abuse of the system caused by not settling before action is started. You have plenty of time to prepair for court however it is likely an offer will arrive before then, good luck.
Firstly, congratulations, great to hear Woolwich has settled.
Did they offer you the full amount or did you accept a lower offer from them? If they did settle for the full amount you were claiming, to what stage did Woolwich go before settling?
Opinions given herein are made informally by myself as a lay-person in good faith based on personal experience. For legal advice, you must always consult a registered and insured lawyer.
Although I used the older version before the version with the draft directions.
Its a fairly proven set of steps, don't rush, stick to the timescale.
Don't hassle them, if yours is with the Woolowich (Barclays) they will have a lot of problems especially after the program the other night.
Balance pressure against results, you need them to be chasing you, don't be in a hurry to enter a judgement against them.
how do u mean dont hastle them i have alocation questionare filled in and ready to go it has to be back by 10 th april should i hang on to it for a bit then
Do you usually post yours to the court, or drop it in, there is some thought that leaving it until almost the date, could possibly save you the fee if they make an offer, therefore, if you hand deliver you can literally wait until the last minute.
I believe they will file their aq as well, they tend to go quite a way down the line before settlement, unfortunately Barclay's will be swapped within the next few weeks due to the program the other night, and as this gradually filters through, they will miss the odd deadline, due to backlog.
The "don't hassle" them bit is if you start to phone them and email them it will distract them from what they are meant to be doing.
Stick to the tried and tested route, follow the timescale, as I said they will more than likely file their AQ so ensure you file yours in time, there is no harm in waiting, in case they offer.
A brief email to remind them that you have received your AQ and have to file it by #### and that you intend to, and then a basic "for information" listing of your claim to date, e.g. claim value, s.69 interest, costs, total, then leave them all the contact information.
