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 my son has been waiting 6 months now to get his charges £4000.00 from RBS returned he is now due in court on 28th June can anyone give us any advice as what to say or do when we attend. They seem to be dead set on him not getting his money back.
We are obviously now very concerened that it has got this far with not even an offer.
hi,
im in the same position as you and im in court 18-07-07 and ive also
been pursuing it for 6 months now without any whiff of a settlement....
my claim is for £2500.... i am also getting worried as some other people seem to only have to send a couple of letters and get the full amount back with no hassle... advice would be great from anyone whos gone through a long drawn out claim with RBS...
A phone call would be great, the whole court business is just really scary especially as I will have to quote all legal stuff to the judge hope he doesnt call my bluff and ask me more detail about the statues etc.
Don't forget that the judge knows you aren't a legal professional and will give you all manner of latitude. He won't expect you to be proficient in case law etc. All you need to do is clearly state your case in real English mentioning the statutes you are relying on. You don't need to get into the minutiae of the statutes.
Sorry to put a dampener on the issue but don't be too sure about too much help from the judge if you do get to court,...... I've just gone through one on the multi track and although I got a"little" help from the judge .....he does have to be careful as not to have a charge of bias made against him, and I was up against Gregg Owen a Cobbetts barrister.
Hi, I was supposed to be in court today against Natwest, and I got a phone call on Friday afternoon from Cobbetts to make me an offer, so he could still get a call of them.

I wasn't referring to "help" as such, merely that judge won't expect a Litigant in Person to be as well up on procedural and legal matters as a solicitor.
I did have an idea what you meant but I thought I had to put my experience in, I actually did get a "little" help from the Judge as I said, but what I did get from him that if you do intend to use case references and statutes make sure you do know a "bit" about them they don't expect you to know it all but a little , not merely "quote" them
I have just received a letter from Cobbetts Solicitors requesting information from me - they want it before the 9th July. I knew from the moneyclaims website they had put in a defence but I haven't received any information from the court with regards to a date or this court bundle people talk about... I'm starting to worry... I haven't received any type of offer from the RBS at all before this... PLEASE HELP!
Advice needed when going to court
