I will ring both courts, Hilleden Securities and go into CAB tomorrow.
By all means ring the Court - you will find them, usually, extremely helpful.
I would hold on contacting Hillsden Securities until you have, at least, telephoned CAB or obtained clarification/advice from Warrington CC. You will find Hillsden somewhat less than helpful. Experiences on this forum would indicate that they are well trained in 'twisting' your words into an admission, so forewarned is forearmed.
Good luck.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

All sorted. All parties were helpful but its a disgrace what has happened. Rang the court, the bailiff and they both gave me the number fo the solicitor acting for Hillesden who in turn gave me the number for the collections part of DL collections. Basically, someone with my full name lived around 6 miles from me and had not been contactable and hadn't paid up. So they looked it up and thought I was a close enough match. Shocking. Anyway, the warrant and bailiffs have been cancelled an have a letter now apologising.0

I would push this company, they should loose their license as they do it often to people often known as fishing. I would advice them also that you expect them to refund your time and costs also0

Glad you got it sorted.
What a horrible experience for you -these people should not be allowed to carry on like this - they must at least occasionally 'trick' and bully people into paying off other people's debts.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -

Absolutely, CM - The onus was on Hillesden to ensure that the person they were pursuing was the correct person - not on you to prove otherwise. The OFT considers it bad practice to pursue people of the same, or similar, name in the hope that they will 'net' the actual debtor.
