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.
Ok, here goes after eventually getting down to the calculation of all the unfair charges. Ive calculated that they, the Alliance & Leicester, have removed £2323.00 from my account over the last 5 years. ( Scotland ).
I will be writing of my letter requesting the return of that amount without the 8% judicial interest added tomorrow. Registered post of course. So here goes, i will keep you posted. Anything ive forgotten?
i should have said i called up my local branch of the A& L to get the address of where i should send the claim and they now have a dedicated dept that deals with this.
Alliance & Leicester plc
DFAR Team
Current Account Operations
Brydle Road
Bootle
GIR 0AA

Hi and welcome
make sure you read FAQ and step by step instructions If you are at prelim request stage it is normally advised on this site not to add the add the 8% unless you are at the court claim stage.
Best of luck

Well, ive just been reading all the news sites as to the decisions at Leeds Mercantile court. also noticed that the banks come in for some extremely strong criticism. I spoke to someone in the Sheriff court here and they are getting really p****d off with the banks so watch this space.
Well the the lba was received by Alliance and Fester on the 21st and ive had no reply. Next up is another letter giving them 14 days. Oh this is exciting.
well ive typed up the letter, but i thought id Fone uncle Fester and ask why they didnt reply to my first. Got someone called Tim on the phone who looked at all the correspendence and and agreed id sent a letter he couldnt understand why no one had bothered to reply. So too late, ive now sent of the second letter giving them 14 days to cough up.
Dont know the answer to that - but have you seen that under the forum General- above there is a subforum - all about SCOTLAND

If as looks like Reliance & Fester are stalling, ive heard no reply yet they have received both my letters. if i go to the Ombudsman can i ask for costs to be added to my claim or is it only my claim they investigate?
ok got an offer today of £726 from alison riley at uncel fester. its their "final offer" haha. Well im not accepting it. they want to charge me £12 for the charges as they said that represents the difference of what they charged me.
i'm claiming for £2,500, i think i will add £500 for distress caused and add contractual interest of 17%.
bump - only just started reading up on latest developments so not sure what advice is yet.
it may be worth waiting to see what happens in the next few days on a&L cases - to see if claims are postponed. it seems all fos are on hold.
so may be a long wait.
