Small Claim Judgment by Default with immediate payment

wealdroam

If their changes of address mean they never received court papers, then their non-attendance is easily explained.

In that case, they could/should apply for the judgement to be set aside.

But until they know that a judgement has been made, that won't happen.
Also the expense on any form of enforcement would be wasted.

I do not feel that surprising them with enforcement officers is the way to go.

Just to add, this point you made earlier concerns me:

It had changed registred address 3 times this year.This is reason they have not responded because a address change occured when i sent my claim.However , they were not aware at any stage that i was issuing any proceedings whatsoever.

Perhaps I have totally misunderstood that, but are you really saying that the company had no opportunity to defend itself?

Well this is problem ,unbeknown tp me their address change occured few weeks before my claim.
What i was stating was address change was not a result of my legal claim -it was simply a coincidence.
However, one assumes they had mail forwarding?
Judgement Default has been issued now to Trading address- i guess i as yet cannot enforce judgement.
Is it simply a matter of allowing them extra time- or will i have to reissue?
