greetings everyone........i just wanted to circulate some good news to encourage all the rest of you......i got all my money back, every single penny ....yipppiiiieeeeehh and i guess even though it was taking 8 months altogether, i went relatively smoothly because of me not panicking or acting in anger....seriously i think that made a HUGE difference.......i didn't waste much time feeling victimised and powerless, but instead ACCEPTED THE SITUATION, researched the facts, got support (thanks a lot for all your information here!!!!) and then just went to work........ the steps were as follows: o. i got in touch with Sheila Harding from bailiffadviceonline.com...she was of great help, and i paid only 20? for all the useful advice and actual support she provided me with....... 1. i got the out of time statuary declaration which 2. i sent off to the Northampton TEC per recorded delivery 3. after a few months i received a document from them basically stating that everything would be revoked.... 4. then i didn't hear anything for ages from the southwark council to which the document of the Northampton TEC had been sent off....when i phoned them at southwark, they said yeah the received the document and yeah probably i would get it, but only the councils' part of the ?650, which was only ?150, the rest is part of the bailiffs responsibility....i must say that at that point i actually got a bit pissed off, but reminded myself relatively quickly to JUST ACCEPT, and not waste anymore time shooting with bombs on little pidgeons, so i 5. booked an appointment with Hackney Community Law Centre (got their address from a local citizen advice bureau) and they helped me to draft 2 letters (one to the bailiffs and the other to southwark), 6. first i sent off only one, the one to southwark, demanding the whole amount ...after 2 months i finally received the first cheque over ?150, in which they declared that i will have to get the rest from the bailiffs, which was actually fairly easy with all the other documents backing me the bailif company was very compliant and refunded me instantly............ i wish you all good luck and remember that everything ultimately comes as a blessing, i learned a lot from that about myself, how to manifest things (despite having everyone telling me that i will never ever get that money back!!!!) and also that we can make a total difference if we only concentrate on solutions and WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO WANT AND CAN DO........
