Oh, and the sites on line you see about bailiffs giving "Advice" are run by bailiff firms Which is nice of them W**F

Be ahead of the "Licensed/certified Bailiff "( ?10k to purchase this license) as he likes to be know, thug debt collector is a better term. He will have you believe he's from the court, he's not. Actually he represents his client the Council in a civil matter & his powers are quite limited, so he's a chancer preying on un-collected civil debts such as easy money parking tickets. ( Remember he is a high pressure negative sales man and gets commission/bonuses from his company for fees/sales generated ) Ask him/them to see his badge ( if you can, film him on your phone ) a court Crown bailiff will have a metal cop like badge. ( This is the one not to mess with, co-opperate with him ..oh & he only adds the statutory ?25 or for his visit also he can let you pay fee free the original costs over time) but he ( the thug DC )cant and wont have one. So ask to see his paper license, now copy/photograph it. In his hand is a civil enforcement ( they have technically bought the debt & add "charges" of their own) now they will try ,lie , wrench your arm up your back to get you to agree to pay for the "service" that you are faced with. These charges are not claimable by them in court, call the police if you feel intimidated; Also they have no rights to enter your home, even to make a list (another trick) Don't pay them , don't enter into any form of payment scheme with them & don't let them cross your thresh-hold even one bit. If you have the guts for it tell them to "***off" and that you won't pay them,because don't forget you have not actually been to court so you are not breaking the law are you. You have not requested their services or entered into a contract verbal or other wise. *Note if you do agree a payment scheme with them and miss in any way a term or payment, then they can heap on the extra extortionate charges legally , this is the second strategy they try to employ, resist at all costs Plus, with the council, once they have engaged their services, they will have to pay to get out of it, so you will get no love there. It's worth noting that even at this late stage you can go to back the TEC in Northampton and make a retrospective claim. Call them , they will e-mail you the forms,once you do this by fax they will notify the council who then call off the thugs straight away, also you can appeal as many times as you like & this can run for many years As a defense; You may never have recived the "Notice to driver" who knows, this is for them to prove as they only send it by normal post so it can easily go amiss, if this is the case you get to revert the fine back to the original ?60 cost BTW Lastly in the end the thugs will hand back the debt to the council marked "un-enforceable", you are not a criminal, it's a civil matter. Remember always be prepared to try to pay the council as your debt is with them. Finaly to avoid this stress, technically "sell & leaseback" your goods to this company, if & when the balif does arrive you own "nothing" and have a bill of sale/ lease agreement to prove it .....and boy does that feel gooooood http://www.mysecuresentinel.com/securesentinel/personal-property-protection.dot W**F

Yeah mock the stupid "Them over there" if it makes you feel better Trouble is I've met many "Smart" people who can't change a lightbulb or the spare wheel on their car What's easier "Six nuggets" Or "Half a dozen nuggets" by economy of words in a "Fast food" environment, the later is a bit clunky, no ? W**F

Never, I think the theory goes something like; Leave a group of people alone without any outside influences & within 8 weeks they have formed a belief system or religion that worships pigs teeth or cow dung ect infinitum I swear to god / pigs teeth that's true W**F

OK, niceties out the way, I do agree with gigi girl & the Laker story is a good example of the mind set BA have adopted. This company has acted throughout in the most despicable and underhanded way, corporate moral bankruptcy runs through it's veins, so it is a beast of it's own creation. Someone take it over please, so we can move on from their ongoing & tiresome sagas. Here is company that suffers compassion fatigue at the mere mention of "talks" It's days are numbered & people are fed up with it's "Brand" anyway. It also goes to show that even if you pay top end in the industry, that you can't buy loyalty. Staff smell a rat at any suggestion of change from within the company, real or imagined. Why, because they have fostered a trading model based on mistrust, from inside out & top to bottom. So can they survive, well maybe. Look at the car industry & look at Jaguar. British then American then what, but still Jaguar...sort of As for Richard Branson, I have done some work with the Virgin brand. They were up front, vibrant and had a can do attitude. The staff all knew Richard & he seemed to know them, they all loved working with the brand & it carries kudos. In the end we walked away from the deal, no hard feelings & nothing lost. As Malcom Mc Claren said of Branson. "Never trust a hippy " W**F
