Pre-Bailiff?

  • Thanks, redgirl,

    Yes, they have a CCJ on me and I have made a couple of late payments. When I called the company to find out if they had arranged a pre-bailiff visit they said it was because some of my payments were late and I have to pay £120

    There is no legal basis for this visit and there is no legal basis for the charge.

    You can ring NDL unitl either 8-09pm http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/loans/debt-help-plan#help

    And also check the OFT Guidelines.

    Visits are to be by mutial agreement only. There is no obligation for you to agree.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
  • I have just contacted the National Debtline and it appears that a Pre-Bailiff visit is the next step from gaining a warrant. The fee that they are asking for is not legal and I have been advised to make a complaint to the courts.
