I was traveling from Oxford to Plymouth, And made the mistake of getting on the train during The So call 'London Peak time'. The train was about 20mins away from Taunton, when the ticket inspector asked me for a ticket. He said it was wrong and wanted an extra £100:!: for peak charge. I said i didn't have the cash:violin:, So he asked for card. I gave him my Electron card, but they don't except them So he told me to get of at Taunton, I did this. And asked the Taunton B.R staff, and was told it was now off-peak times. So i only had to wait 5mins for next train, and saved £100! Morale of the story, don't always go for the best type of bank card!

Visited this site many times for some useful tips. Living in Scotland, we don't have Bailiffs, we have Sheriff Enforcement Officers and having had the misfortune of having them pay me a visit for something they should never have appeared for, I can sympathise with the couple from Otterburn highlighted in the above episode. Question: Just how 'robust' can Bailiffs and Sherriff Enforcement Officers be? If the one who visited the couple was anything like the 2 that appeared at my door, they must have been quaking in their shoes. Does 'robust' mean they can bully and intimidate you? Attempt to force entry? Advice I've read on here in the past suggests otherwise (thanks to all who posted on this topic - very useful for me) and well done to the couple for sticking up for themselves and tackling it all the way. Sadly I have found in my own experience that when you win, they don't always want to let it go and hate being proven wrong so please be wary of any come-backs they might have up their sleeve. Stick to your guns you 2, you're showing the rest of us that sometimes the little man can win!
