if you are accepting liability and offering payment there should be no need for the matter to go to court ?

If you do go to court then the Judge will review your I&E and rule according to what you can realistically afford.

Perhaps if you give some more details on the debt then I can advise further

its a hsbc business account debt,

i recieved summons from northampton county court,

from intrum justitia's solicitors,

i have filled in the form admiting the claim and with offer of payment if i send this back to there solicitors and they agree payment does the ccj still get entered against me

what if there solicitors refuse my offer or cant they

file_wizzard

under the extended use of Pre Action Protocols they are obliged to accept "reasonable offers" this is directly proportionally to your I&E.

If they pursue the matter to court even after you have mad a reasonable offer then this will not be viewed favourably by a judge.

so who should i sent the forms to the court or them ?

Mr._OCaz

Send it back to the creditor if you agree to the claim if they don;t accept the court will make a judgement based on what you have filled in.

Make sure you return it within 14 days.
