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 dont know for sure but I believe the difference is that one relates to criminal law and one to civil law, e.g. you couldn't involve the police in suing the bank because no crime has been committed. What they are doing is unlawful not illegal
EDITED TO ADD:
I just looked this up, the first answer I found was this.
Q. Whats the difference between unlawful and illegal?
A. Unlawful is against the law, illegal is a sick bird

not sure the distinction matters. The charges are not rendered unlawful/illegal by application of the various regulations and statutes and cases we rely on - they are rendered unenforceable
