    I've just been directed to this thread ;)
    in February 2009 a charging order had been placed on the house for the sum of £1800 due to an unpaid, unsecured debt
    Re the above, you need to apply to the court using this form and request that case be set aside, if your application is successful (no reason why it shouldn't be) you must request the Judge to give instructions for the charging order be removed.
    another letter from Northampton County Court so I opened it. Found another claim form in there stating I owed £10,000!!!!!!
    When was this issued?

    If it was ove 14 days ago, again, use the form above and request the case be set aside

    Northampton County Court is actually a bulk centre, it deals with all online claims issued through MoneyClaims, the reason creditors / DCA prefer to use Northampton, it allows them to get away with filing a claim, yet not having to produce any documents/ proof of debt/ or any kind of evidence, whereas it’s totally the opposite if they issued through a County Court.

    Any problems / issues, come back and post or PM me.

    i hope that you get this problem, and wanted to offer my support

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
  • I'm so sorry for dissappearing off the face of the earth, I couldn't find this thread and started to panic!!! Oh thank god I found it again, well and truly bookmarked now so I don't loose it again.

    Fantastic information, thanks so much everyone, this is where we are so far:

    1. No reponses as yet to the SAR's sent off. Recorded delivery shows they were delivered on the 1st of June, I have printed off and safely kept the proof of delivery.

    2. Todays my final day for submitting my defence, this is what I have come up with so far, please take a look and let me know your thoughts?

    Dear Sirs

    I do not acknowledge any debt with the claimant - I believe I have been the victim of mistaken identity or an Identity Fraud which requires further investigation by the Police.

    My first and only realisation of this claim was at the time I sent the Acknowledgement of Service Form. Approximately 2 and a half years ago, I moved out of my mortgaged dwelling (Address removed for the internet!) due to a family disagreement between my mother and I pertaining to the newly mortgaged property. I continued to pay the monthly mortgage payment, in full, in order to honour my agreement with the mortgage company despite no longer living at the address. For that particular period of time my mother and I had no contact. Just recently we have sought a resolve and I have moved in to assist her (she is disabled) at which time she informed me there was a charging order placed on the property by another Debt Collection Agency in February 2009 which she had assumed was due to an unpaid debt generated by me. My mother sent in a defence but sadly it was not acknowledged. I do not acknowledge the charging order and am currently seeking legal advice on overturning the judgement. All of my personal finances are in order, I have one bank account, one credit card and one mortgage which have been managed impeccably from the start.

    Upon requesting an updated credit report recently, I noted multiple accounts, aliases, public records information and linked addresses that are nothing to do with me. I have since joined CIFAS, the UK fraud prevention service, to block further attempts to gain credit in my name. As a result of the information on my credit report I have sent Subject Access Requests under the Data Protection Act to the originators of all the loans including the loans this claimant is claiming for (Argos and Monument/Provident). To date there has been no response and therefore I can only assume there is no evidence to substantiate the claims OR the request is still in progress. All communications were written and sent registered delivery to ensure receipt.

    I have contacted the Police who will not acknowledge the Identity Fraud as a crime but a civil matter due to the looser ultimately being the financial institution (claimant), not me. They inform me that until such time as the financial institutions report the matter to the Police they are unable to investigate the matter further. For reference, I spoke to PC 296 ‘Stephen’ of xxxxxxxx Police Station.

    This is causing me significant difficulty with a cost attached, I work Monday to Friday and am desperately trying to stay dedicated to my work given the current economic climate for fear of redundancy but unfortunately this is a difficult situation to resolve. I have had to take time from work to visit the Police station, speak to people on the phone to obtain legal advice, write letters asking for information held about me and visit the Post Office to send letters registered delivery and obtain Postal Orders to pay for the information requests. To further complicate matters I am scheduled to emigrate to Canada on the 8th of July 2009.

    Therefore I kindly request you either stay the judgement or deny any claim against me whilst I am seeking to resolve this terrible mess caused by someone posing as me.

    Dear Sirs

    I do not acknowledge any debt with the claimant - I believe I have been the victim of mistaken identity or an Identity Fraud which requires further investigation by the Police & or The creditors.

    Insert the date.

    Why not, what did she do when she received the original claim?
    do not acknowledge the debt.

    All of my personal finances are in order, I have one bank account, one credit card and one mortgage which have been managed impeccably from the start.

    Upon requesting an updated credit report recently, I noted multiple accounts, aliases, public records information and linked addresses that are nothing to do with me
    Can you supply copies for the courts attention?

    Therefore I kindly request a) the original judgement be set aside, and b) the CO placed on the property be removed
    Some parts I've amended ;)

  • Fantastic! Thanks for reviewing.... I should have mentioned this is being done online via the moneyclaim.gov.uk website so the date, case number, claimant, defendent, etc details will already be there.

    When mum received the first claim she sent in a defence explaining that she is disabled and would not be able to attend court, supplied a document I had written and signed stating I had no financial interest in the property (this was what the argument was about so I wrote a document out and handed it to her as I left :-( ) but she never heard anything back..... next thing she got a charging order issued from a different court on the property. I think that's how it panned out but I will need to check. Have pasted in the document below so you can see what it said.

    I have copies of all my bank statements, credit statements and recent credit file showing my true accounts are in a perfect paid up order and that the false accounts are all defaulted. If need be I can show them to the court.

    In the last part you have ammended, we are asking them to remove the charging order. So far, for this particular claim no charging order has been issued, should I still say that?

    Thanks very much again and please see below the document I left my mum with:

    To Whom It May Concern




    With reference to: (Address removed for the internet)




    I, <MY NAME>, do hereby declare that the above mentioned dwelling is of no financial interest to me. I have no stake or share belonging to me nor any assets or personal belongings in the property.

    I, <MY NAME>, do hereby declare this agreement is to stand as a legal, binding contract between Mrs <MUMS NAME> and I.

    I, <MY NAME>, do hereby declare this agreement was made on 20 November 2006.

    Do you have 2 litigation cases?

    a) a current claim

    b) one where the CO was issued

    Both are from separate creditors?

  • Yes that's correct.

    1 CCJ resulting in a CO on the property I own issued in February 2009 (claimant HFO Services).

    1 Claim form from Northampton County Court received May 2009 pursuing recovery of a debt (Cabot Financial).

    Let me know if you need any more details? :D

    If your application to set aside the CO is successful, you must request the judge give instructions for the CO to be removed, it doesn't always happen if one doesn't request it.
