Re: JBW !!!!!!

Hi Nikki,

I'm sorry, but not surprised you have not received a reply. They don't want to hand over the money they've had from you.

They owe you this money. It costs nothing to issue a Statutory Demand, and I would be very surprised if this did not achieve the required result as you could force them into bankruptcy over this as it is over £750.

The forms you need can be downloaded free and the CAB will help you fill them in. The link below explains all:

Use a statutory demand to recover a debt : Directgov - Money, tax and benefits

This is the route I would pursue.

There are other, criminal routes that could be pursued, but personally I would not take these.

Re: JBW !!!!!!

So there is no point in writing another letter to them asking what is going on?

Re: JBW !!!!!!

I expect that a Statutory Demand should get some sort of response from the oafs especially as, if it is not settled or set aside, it could be followed by an application for a winding up order to liquidate their company.

Pedantically, the term 'bankruptcy' only applies to individual persons - but it's the same idea.

Hi,

A Statutory Demand is a precursor to bankruptcy. You can be made BK for any amount over £750. They will not risk being made bK over this amount of money, and a Statutory Demand will not cost you a penny.

Hope this makes sense!:beagle:

Re: JBW !!!!!!

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE can we make it clear a FORM 4 complaint MUST NOT be done in any haste, all avenues to reaching a resolve through the complaints procedures is strongly recommend before even thinking to the form 4. Many have come unstuck by charging in with batons at the ready so please when the form 4 is mentioned as a possibility can we make sure it is told to the poster it is the LAST LINE to any disputed action.

Thanks and rant over...

Re: JBW !!!!!!

I've said that on another thread, Pepsie, and I believe other LBs have advised caution with regard to Form 4 complaints. I like the sound of the winding-up order, though. It would certainly wind-up the bailiff and his/her employers, but, at the same time, if followed through, would put a stop to that bailiff company bullying "can't pay" debtors.

Re: JBW !!!!!!

Of course the LA is 100% responsible and could be made to pay back any overcharged fees.

Re: JBW !!!!!!

A claim in the county court would be my option. The bailiff company would not want a CCJ against them. I'd be careful about adding damages though as you will substantiate the figure of £100. However, you are clearly due some compensation....
