County court judgement.

Hi to All,

I have used some company services and failed to pay about 3000 pounds. Now they have sent me Claim form for Judgement. Now please tell me what to do? do i have to send a court a acknowledgement of service? do i have to attend court? will they take my assets? etc.


Please advice asap.

Regards.

    I really dont know, although I suspect that you "could" make a token payment to show willing and to avoid the CCJ

    I suggest you call national debt line at 9.00 when they open - as they will certainly know the answer And have template letters.

    Do let us know how you go on, and share your knowledge with others when youve found out

    What sort of company services was it Tony? Did you have some work done? Are you disputing anything? Or is it on a credit card.

    As Lyn says I would give CCCS a call first thing so they can guide you through the whole process. But if you give us a little more info we might be able to be of use too.

    I don't know much about CCJ's, but it might be a good idea to take the court papers to the CAB to get some advice and if there is a Court appointment I would always advise that you attend.
