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, settled with the Halifax last week got an offer from the a&l for 720
claiming 1500 turned it down because of the way the women was on the phone anyway now having massive panic attack over the Lloyds business
a&l were served with court papers on the 13th am going back through everything can't find t & c has any one else needed them when they got to court
i opened my account over the phone and I dont remember getting much else other than cheque book, debit card and letter welcoming me to A & L no specific T & Conditions
Hi just received a letter from wragge & co saying they are acting for the a&l in this matter and they have sent me an acknowledgement of service with intention to defend, not sure how serious they are taking it the person that signed the acknowledgement is a trainee it says under position held? any advice gladly accepted i have kept all correspondance between us but partly wishing i'd accepted there offer now
Hi blue , we seem to be at the exact same stage. I also received acknowledgement from Wragge & Co. today also signed be a trainee.
I think they've took on a load of YTS trainees to cope with the influx of new claims. I wouldnt worry too much about the Lloyds case , it can't set a precedent in a county court. Good luck with your claim.

Hi went to the libary and have sent a rejection letter to there offer spoke to a&l on the phone and they said the offer is the best i'm goin to get because they will fight me all the way in court so looks like i'll be havin a day out just hope i can get the computer and printer workin properly before then or else i'll be spending some time in the libary
Hi received defence from wragge today seems to be the same one that everyone else has received so i am going to send them a copy of my spreadsheets on tues because of the bank holiday and my ageing printer, but they also sentme a letter saying why the Lloyds tsb won there case and how this will favour them in court i now this is just scare tactics but it's working tonight
