urgent help with CCJ

Hi all

Thanks for reading got a major issue. My mother had a claim pack that was filled in and sent back. The company wanted us to fill in one of their forms which we did not have to do. Now we have a CCJ that is saying that we did not file anything when we posted the claim form. One bouns in all this is that we have a letter from this lot that has on it that they have got the claim form. What do we do now.

Many thanks in advance

You sure you filled in all the court form properly?

Contact the solicitor and ask why they they refused to comply with their duty under the rules to refer your offer to the courts. Tell them you will be contacting the court to inform them that the solicitors falsely and fraudulently applied for a default judgement claiming you had not replied when in fact you had. Tell them you will be reporting them to the court and solicitors regulation authority for misconduct and deceptive practices.

This is an old trick. They pretend you didnt reply to get a default judgement.

It appears this "trick" has been used frequently, as a lot of posters to this forum have said they replied to the court papers, but still received judgement in default, now one or two may get lost in the post, but i cant accept that is always the case.

Yes frequently used by the more scumbag solicitors.

It's usually best to do a defence or a part defence (online if you have the option).

That way the claimant isn't involved and nothing gets 'lost in the post'

You may be able to get a redetermination hearing

Seen this time and time before...

As said, complain, and try to get the court to redetermine or vary the judgement.
