Balance on a CCJ

Hi all,

I'm a newbie, so please be gentle.....

Back in Jan 2010, my employer was ordered to take payments weekly out of my wages.

I thought it was originally for around £1900 and having gone through all my wage slips since then and totting up what I've paid - I'm amazed that I've actually paid £2497.75 up till last week.

I've been onto the trust on-line to get details of the judgement, as I couldn't find the paperwork I was sent by the court originally.

According to the notes with the report received £676 is the amount which the court has ordered to be paid. It is not necessarily an indication of the debt balance currently outstanding.

So, I'm a little confused - have I overpaid by £1821.75? And if so, can I claim this back in some way?

Thanks in advance.....

    Ring the court tomorrow and find out what was on the original CCJ. I think they are allowed to add 8% interest (p.a.)
