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.
On the 28 March 2007 Number 10 has finally agreed to run our petition, thanks to Alison Seabeck MP who wrote to the Prime Minster to ask them to re-think their decision not to allow the Petition.
The Challenge is now on to get over 1 million Signatures
So please send this link to every one in your address book.
Dear Members We have now launched the Official petition to try and bring an end to banks applying theses charges, If your work in the media please publish this. This petition is to ask the government to bring in legislation that prevents banks or any company offering finance, or credit agreements from applying charges (Penalty charges) for items as Bounced DDs, bounced cheques going overdrawn, late payment or charges alike. We ask that the Government bring in legislation that before any company can apply such charges to a consumer that a Court, must rule that the level of charges outlined in the contracts that a company/organisation wishes to present to a consumer, is fair and reasonable and is compatible with the UTCCR. This will also better protect the consumer and the vulnerable who’s only cause of action at the moments is to start legal proceeding against the company that has applied such charges. It will force companies to legally prove that their contacts are fair and transparent. we request that parliament make it a criminal offence for any Bank or company to take such charges from state benefits without a court approval/order. I hope you can spare a little time to sign the petition and also email this to as many people as you can, Here the link Petition to: bring in new legislation to prevent the current abuse by banks and companys in relation to Penalty charges. Thank you for your time
