A little more advice needed...

Following on from an earlier thread I posted about a CCJ, I'm now thinking the best thing to do is to try and sell a load of stuff to stump up the cash.

Only question is the deadline...

The only letter I've received about the CCJ is an attachment of earnings order, dated 16th June (only received it yesterday)


From looking around on the internet, I've seen that it needs to be paid within 30 days to ensure it doesn't become a CCJ.

would the attachment of earnings have been issued on the same date as the judgment? I just want to make sure I've got enough time before I start advertising my beloved stuff for sale!!

Thanks,

Natalie

Usually I would imagine the CCJ would be quite a while before the attachment of earnings form was sent out.

If you didn't submit a defence or ask to pay in installments before the CCJ then the judgement would have been granted forthwith (meaning payable in full immediately). Only when you didn't pay would the creditor then seek a method of enforcement, such as an attachement of earnings.

You can find out the date of the CCJ by phoning and asking the court (or possibly by looking at the registery trust online register (costs £8) or possibly by looking at your credit files.
