    Are you able to practice if you have judgements against you?

    Can't see what there is to challenge, the ex employer is just going through the motions to reclaim the money you agreed to pay.

    Bob, basically the guy stood next to me ensuring I signed it. I can't prove this though.

    I think making contact and talking to them is important before they send it to the DCAs. Costs and charges will then build so quickly even you, an accounts person will be shocked.

    The main mistake you've made is the old head in the sand, hope it will all go away routine.

    Good luck.

    It's an auditing qualification as opposed to an accountancy one, which I subsequently completed six months after I left.

    Guys, I'm not avoiding it, that's why I'm here. I will repay it!

    Just offer them what you can afford, I bet they take it.

    As advised, it will take more than a signed bit of paper to obtain a CCJ.
    They would need a correctly drawn contract signed before commencement of the terms, not after.

    I wonder what he would have done, if you had refused?
