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.
We spoke in chat - glad you found your way to make a thread!
Ok - so what happens now.
Yes their standard delay tactic is to defend. Costs them nothing to defend and of course they can't be seen as been guilty by default!
So the matter now will be transferred to your local court if as you said you filed with Money Claim.
The court will be in touch and forward you a copy of their defence. If it was two weeks ago that they submitted their defence, the court will be in touch within the next 14 - 21 days to send you a copy.
When they send the defence, they make or may not send an allocation questionaire. When this is returned to the court, they will then allocate a court date.
So what is an allocation questionaire?
This is a set of either questions they are asking you on what you are seeking and to allocate time as an estimate.
Please do not worry about the inside of a court room! Come back when you have their defence and you will get reassurance that it is all just a process designed to have you back down and accept a lesser offer or not have the determination to see it all through.
You got this far - you know your right - we know your right!
Hope this gives some more direction of what next.....all the best with your claim..
