I think I can answer for the OP by saying it is all sub-judice at the moment, when all is sorted I'm sure it will be updated.

Hi everyone, apologies for not updating my thread for a long time......... thought it best to stay quiet until this was sorted

 

The final hearing to decide everything took place this morning, and I got an incredible result (I think!!) The upshot is, my car is being returned to me.......... and the bailiff's fees (that were standing at just short of 3K) have been reduced to under £300!!!

 

Big thanks to everybody who supported me with this, especially PT. I'd have given up straight away without your advice and support.......... I truly appreciate your help. xxxx

And you didn't come out richer than you went in? Lightweight!

[sea-sidelady]

That is fantastic.

 

Lets hope others read this and fight back as well, just goes to show they can't walk all over you and get away with it!

[ploddertom]

I'm very pleased for you. No doubt the relief it is all over, far outweighs any recompense you may have hoped or fought for especially considering everything else I know you have had on your mind.

Congratulations. Is the debt on the car now cleared? If it is only the bailiff fees outstanding, I wonder if you can pay it off at £1 per month?

Well Done Hun! I've sent you a PM as there may be a further action you can take

[Surfer01]

Skaatii, love you non de plume as it brought back memories from when I lived in South Africa. The word is an affectionate term for your other half.

[skaatiii]

Surfer01 I'm amazed.... I've been using this id for over 12 years, yet you're the first person to correctly identify it's true meaning

[hallowitch]

Thank you sooooo much everybody, it's lovely to hear your best wishes My apologies for not being online..... I'm trying to pick up as many shifts as possible at work and I'm about as much use as a chocolate teapot at the moment!!!

 

PT..... you're spot on, it's a relief to just have this over and done with so that I can concentrate on other 'things' at the moment. But again, I want to thank you for supporting me throughout this, because I really wouldn't have done it without you xxx

 

The debt on the car isn't cleared, but that's ok. We've agreed that I'll continue to make the payments I was making - but this time they've been rubber-stamped by a judge, so at least the bailiffs won't be knocking on my door again!!! The huge part of this for me has been that the bailiffs 'fees' have pretty much been written off............ from demanding a few quid short of £3K, they've been awarded - pretty much nothing!!! However, when you also consider that they had to buy my car back from the person who purchased it at auction (and that person serviced it, did a new MOT, stuck a brand new set of alloy wheels on it, had the brakes re-done, steam cleaned the engine, fixed the handbrake and valeted it inside and out, so they probably demanded quite a bit extra than what they paid for it!!!!), I reckon the lovely bailiffs are slightly out of pocket!! ;-)

 

What really worries me is that there must be a LOT of people out there who aren't aware of CAG who would have just rolled over and taken what was dished out to them. People don't realise that they CAN fight back with something like this.......... how many more people is this sort of thing happening to on a daily basis? Because the 'yard' that I picked my car up from was literally filled with cars of all makes and models, and they were all vehicles that had been seized by bailllifs from across the North West of England.

 

Thank you everybody, I really couldn't have done this without CAG - and particularly PT. I hope anybody with a similiar problem ends up on CAG and fights back too
