charges for van hire...

[champaine]

hi there


just a quick question.... can the bailiff charge £200 for van hire at the same time the walking possession was signed???.....

He only visited me once... on the day I signed the walking possession order!!

Re: charges for van hire...

No, because prior to a walking possession, he had no need of a van. He was coming to collect money, not goods and therefore a van is not something that you should be billed for in the absence of a valid levy or signed walking possession order.

Re: charges for van hire...

Thank you so much for confirming that..... I have also read else where that;

A reasonable van fee can only be charged following a VALID LEVY

so apart from charging me a van fee before the walking possession was signed, I also believe the levy to be invalid as he only levied my sofa which is needed for basic living.


please correct me if i am wrong, otherwise i will be writting a letter of complaint concerning these fees.


many thanks to you all xxx
