Defaults and CCJS
Comments
-
If a CCJ is granted, they can enforce the debt via bailiffs for non payment.
If you moved addresses after a CCJ was granted and you did not tell them the new address, then yes it could be enforced as the creditor could use the excuse you moved, did not tell them your addresses and tried to escape your liability to pay the debt.
A CCJ can even be granted at a previous address, if that was the last address the creditor had. Say you owe £3000 loan at Address 1, you stop paying and move to address 2. The loan company can take out a CCJ at address 1 in your absense.
You do have a right to defend a CCJ if it catches up with you, its called set aside. If however you have no reason to defend against it i.e. the debt was not in dispute, then the CCJ will not be stopped, because the money is owed.
Even if a debt goes statute barred, it is still owed, however its not enforceable via court, so effectively wiped out just not legally (again, unless in Scotland as rules do differ).
A CCJ secures the debt, unless you are disputing it then you will be made to pay money owed. Running away is unlikely to help as CCJs won't expire.
Even moving abroad atleast to Canada or Germany will not help as they will be enforceable in those countries.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
