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.
At last I have bitten the bullet and decided on action.I have received copies of past statements as the first step of the procedure and am trying to work out what i can and can't claim for.
The easy bit is the charges for card misuse, I've highlighted these and added them up to approx £1800.
The difficult bit is the other charges ,e.g. for Oct2006 they have withdrawn £21.76 which is interest to 9th Oct on account no ----------as well as charge to 9th Oct on the same account for £28.There is also a referral charge for Oct for £30
For Aug 2006 they have withdrawn £20.63 which is interest to 9th Aug as well as charge to 9th Aug of £28. This is on an interest paying current account.My statements are full of these charges.
I am confused about whether i can claim for 1./ the interest withdrawn, 2./the charge on the account (which at the moment appears to be £28 per month and 3./the referral charge.
The fact is these charges are what have put me into the level of debt I am in. One or two small amounts over the agreed overdraft have crippled me and put me into a spiral which I can't get out of like most others who are trying to reclaim these charges. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) Yes and 3) yes, 1) you can claim interest on the charges themselves there is a spreadsheet which i am sure someone later this evening or tomorrow will give the link for. The guys here will get you through this part of the process and you will win.
