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.
Hi, i've just logged on to this site, as I am just going to start a claim. I was hoping for some clear, quick answers for a couple of questions I have please?! I am currently reading through all the FAQs etc, but some of it sounds very complicated! Can anyone help please?!
What is a default notice? How do you know if you have been 'defaulted for a debt which has been caused by unlawful charges'? I am intending on going back through my statements to calculate my charges, rather than write to the bank asking for the total. Is this ok and will it show everything?
Can you just claim back for 6 years worth only? Is there a maximum £ you can claim? (I am with RBS by the way).
Thank you so much in advance, I think I will find this forum very helpful and useful!

Just to add to Michael's response, yes you can but ensure you have EVERY statement. If you have some missing, it might still be worth sending an SAR to RBS for a complete list of statements.
If my post has been useful, tip my scales and let me know
As far as I am aware RBS are very quick to add a default notice to your credit rating and unless removed will stay for six years.I have this problem and settled out of court for payment but they did not remove the default and when I wrote to them they wrote back to say they would not remove it. So I have a new case against them and this time on the papers sent to the court I especially mentioned about removing all my defaults. This time I will not settle out of court unless I get all defaults removed. Be warned
Thank you all, i dont think i have a default notice to worry about as have never been aware of one, plus all my charges 'just' come from going over agreed overdraft limit, interest etc, not non-payment of specific bills etc.
One more thing though - i have two accounts: one is my current account, another is one where i wish to pay off the overdraft and then close it, i think as soon as i pay it off the RBS will close it anyway, so do i start preceedings on this account before i pay off and close it? Or can you still claim on closed accounts?
And lastly, can you claim on the two accounts together, ie, same letter/spreadsheets or seperate letters/spreadsheets etc?
quick answers please??
