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 recieved a letter today from a Richard Heaysmann (customer relations manager) in response to my lba. The gist of the letter is this:-
They have said
1. They are not prepared to consider any of the charges of £12 as they have been reviewed in 'the office of fair trading investigations' - IS THIS CORRECT??
2. They are prepared to consider the other £75 and have offered me half £37.50. They have also given me information of how to complain to the Ombudsman and constantly refer to my 'complaint'.
They state I have 6 months to respond and if I speak to the ombudsman the offer will lapse.
IS ALL THIS NORMAL FOR A CREDIT CARD COMPANY (ONLY 'DONE' HSBC BEFORE) AND SHOULD I CARRY ON AND PURSUE MCOL OR ARE THEY SAYING 'THIS IS IT'
hi, from what i have read this is the norm for this. £12 is still a penalty charge unless they can show there true costs.
Send a letter of rejection and carry on with your claim for the full amount. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...hlight=skycard
hope it helps.

I have now had another response on 23rd May from Nicola Coyler at Sky/Monument. They describe at as their 'Final Response'. They are still offering 37.50 (It is 135 with interest!).
They state that as they have issued their Final Response they will not enter into any correspondance and any future correspondance recieved will be filed.
Do I just wait until the deadline and then file MCOL???
