THE DEBT COLLECTING MERRY-GO-ROUND
THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE RIGHTS OF THE DEBTOR
The Debt Collecting Merry-go-Round is a very pertinent book for our times. As more and more people find it impossible to pay off debts, and companies employ debt collectors, the incidence of unfair practices are rising, as many people just do not know their rights. When faced with bullying, intimidating, agents whose only remit is to recover money, what can you do? In many cases, threats are issued and the person on the receiving end doesn't know how to stand up to these tactics and assert their rights.
This book spells out those rights in a very clear manner.
The book covers the following key areas:
· Debt collectors outlined-who they are and their rights and obligations
· The many different types of debt that can be recovered
· The debt collecting process-what is the legal framework
· What can be done if a debt collector goes beyond what is reasonable?
· How to stay 'execution' of warrants
· The role of the courts and the bailiff
· What can and cannot be removed from your property
