Had judgment set aside..now what?

OK, basically hired this company for PR services...Tv and radio promotion. While the TV campaign was somewhat ok, the radio campaign was non-existent and lazy...I failed to receive weekly reports as promised and didn't get any plays on stations (they blamed the song).

Both campaigns were £500 a piece. I paid a deposit, but refuse to pay the outstanding £400.

So they took me to court and a few weeks ago i got a CCJ. But good news, I got the judgment set aside, and now I have a hearing on the 9th of September.

What legal rights do I have? How can I get a solicitor to help me prove that these guys are scam artists, and in fact they owe me money..I want to flip it on them.

I have detailed records of all the E-mails sent during the campaign..While I had 10 TV reports, I counted only 2 reports for radio, and was promised 10...so how can I prove these things

You'll need to get proof from the radio stations that only 2 adverts of yours were played, and then show it to the judge that you were promised 10.

As such, you could throw at them the sales of goods and services act, and state the service was not provided so you did not make the final payment.

Laws on Business to business sales/services differ from the consumer market, so you do need professional advice,
I advise you get advise from business debtline about where to go now - http://www.bdl.org.uk/ then see about hiring a professional solicitor if you need one.

(1) After section 35 of the [1979 c. 54.] Sale of Goods Act 1979 there is inserted the following section—
“35A Right of partial rejection

(1) If the buyer—
(a) has the right to reject the goods by reason of a breach on the part of the seller that affects some or all of them, but
(b) accepts some of the goods, including, where there are any goods unaffected by the breach, all such goods,


surely this is exactly the case with my situation.
