CCJ Reconsideration

Hi guys,

My wife just got a CCJ and is going to ask for the monthly payments to go to a reconsideration because it is within the 14 days.

My question is does she have to make any payment while she is waiting for the reconsideration ?

Also who do you address the letter to about the reconsideration ?

Thanks in advance :)

    I would just address the letter to the relevant county court.

    Not sure about making payments in the interim, I don't think the reconsideration should be a long process. If it were me I'd either call the court or somewhere like national debtline to get their opinion.

    Hi

    There doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer for whether you need to make the original instalment order payments while a re-determination application is pending, and I believe local court practices can sometimes vary.

    If a payment is due before the re-determination has been finalised it’s safest to make the payment, but I think Tixy’s suggestion of contacting the court is the best idea as they’re the ones who will be handling your case.
