CCJ help?

scoobydoo7

I have received a CCJ from a county court. It is the right address for me but the name of defendant is not me. The name is very similar but spelt incorrectly. Can I dispute the claim as the name of the defendant is wrong?

Is it your debt but with the CCJ under a wrong name? Or not your debt at all?

Its my debt but the name on ccj is wrong. Can I contest it?

The most you can probably expect would be to get the name on the judgement amended as far as I know.

Yes they are my thoughts too - the civil courts don't tend to do 'technicalities'- well not at CCJ level anyway.
They take a practical approach, and are likely to just amend your name details.

Yes, principle of de minimus or similar.

This is not the same as getting a PCN with an incorrect VRM. You will no doubt have received earlier (pre-judgement) mail, so the time to dispute and seek rectification (or repudiation) is before the decision is reached as to liability.

The company that I took the contract out with also have my name wrong from the beginning. Is this still technically a technicality? Can I dispute that the contract is not mine?

I have also never received any pre-judgment mail....!
