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 all,
I am taking on a bank to the tune of £8,200. Natually with the latest developments, I am a little more on edge than I would like to be. Not a problem, onwards and upwards.
What I would like to set up for people like myself who are not going to be in the small claims court, is a pledge fund as a backup in case anyone does lose a case (no likely, but alway eest to be safe). If we all pledge a little money, we can keep the ball rolling nicely. I am pledging £20 now, anyone care to join me
This is a lovely idea, however as most cases are settled out of court the fund would not be needed. Also as most cases are under the £5000 and are allocated into the small claims court there is very little chance of costs being awarded against the claimant.
It is an idea that has been bandied around the site many times, mainly in the mortgage section as this, we have found, carries the most risk. However it is something that would be hard to adminster. It would take up a lot of time and as we are made up of mostly volunteers question of security would raise its head at one time or another, as that is life I am afraid.
Thanks again, and stay around to keep us updated with your claim
All advice is based on my experiences. I am NOT qualified and as such cannot be held responsible for any mistakes. If in doubt...get professional help.
If you like what i have said then make me a star!!
I do see that this could be logiically difficult, but if someone does lose out to the banks, it would make news. It would then be up to the people who have pledged to keep to their promise. The problem comes from controling the amount so that an individual does not make a small fortune. There is always a way. Would welcome some other like minds putting their heads together.
