    It is very true other foums give unsound advice. I was sent this link a few days ago from the CAG forums. A site administrator doesn't even know the difference between an FPN and a PCN.

    We are brother under the skin. Touch of paranoia, HC

    Yes school boy error over there on cag we all make em from time to time.

    Hardly the sort of thing i was referring to, i am sure Labman (or bruv as i call him) would never let such an error occur on one of his advice templates.

    That would be much more serious.

          Rossendales have actually played by the rule book as far as their fees go. Ive never seen that before.
          Now we know why. They're in a spot of bother with the LGO.

              The LA involved should have annulled Rossendales' contract with immediate effect after a scathing report like that from the LGO. I'm surprised the LGO didn't recommend it. I am sure the OFT would be interested in hearing from the lady concerned and the LGO, as would the Ministry of Justice about Rossendales' scumbag bailiffs. I wonder if Mr Boast was one of the bailiffs who was involved?

                The LGO have now received another complaint against the same said Bailiff Company, looks like they may be up for yet another ticking off.

                  It's better to send complaints to the OFT's Credit Fitness Team about bailiff companies, especially those who collect public debt, as it is usually a condition of contract/tender to hold a Cat. F CCL. Send complaints by email to enquiries@oft.gsi.gov.uk and insert the words CREDIT FITNESS into the subject box. Include the bailiff company's name and CRN (Company Reg. No.) in the complaint. Another LB member is currently pursuing a complaint with OFT against Marstons and it is looking like Marstons may have seriously p:censored:d-off the OFT. Just for good measure and to make sure the bailiff company gets as much grief as possible, report the matter to your local Trading Standards Department as well. Rossendales' CRN is 1501584.

                    So what did you do with the keys the sissy claimed you'd "stolen"?

                    Did you use them to turn on the van engine and, with the engine running, lock them inside?

                      I just tossed his keys back to him.

                      Ive had much worse. My niece insures her car at my address because it is cheaper. she gets parking tickets and does not pay them.

                      We have automatic gates, and on one occasion, a Marston bailiff drove his van onto our driveway at 06.30am while nobody home. The gates closed behind him and became stranded until he called the police, who freed him at around 10am by helping him climb the gates.

                      I returned from night duty and found a white van on the driveway. It turned out the police considered breaking open the gates, but decided they did not want to risk a large bill. CCTV footage revealed the two police officers even tried windows and doors round the back of the house.

                      Its an old Victorian house, and by design they are vulnerable to cat burglars, the bailiff examined the drain pipes that run up the back of the house. He even looked through the dustbins and in our greenhouse.

                      If the police officers had a brain, they could have driven their patrol car up to the gates, and they would have opened...

                          There was more, but I missed it.

                          When I left that evening to return to duty, the bailiffs van was still on the drive, but my nephew said it was blocking the garage, so he and his friends jacked the back up and pushed it out on the street. Its all double yellow and there is a bus stop outside next door. The van was gone the next day, either the bailiff recovered it, or London Borough of Ealing did…

                            And spoil your fun? I bet you p:censored:d yourself laughing when you viewed the CCTV footage. I know I would have!

                                I do hope they broke a few eggs into the petrol tank, or tipped in a bag of rubber bands, before they pushed it out.
