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.
Our case (my OH and I) has been transferred to Leeds Mercantile on 28th June, or so the court office says, We've had nothing official yet.
Today we got a letter from the court office with a cheque for £100. The letter stated that the aq fee was being returned as it does not need to be paid in the case of claims for 'bank charges'.
I rang them to make sure there was no mistake and was told that in Mercantile (Chancery Division) she called it, then specified that in 'High Court' (her words) in bank charge reclaim cases no AQ fee was payable.
Not sure what to make of this, so if anyone else has had the same expereince I'd be very interested to know what your court said about AQ fee being refunded.
I went to my county court to pay the fee and they said that the fee has been dispensed with as no allocation questionnaire is required anymore for bank charge claims.
I was a bit shocked by this and thought they must have made a mistake so I wrote and had the same answer back.
So it's good news, especially for multiple claims.
AQ Fee RETURNED
