Charging order

I had an application for a charging order to be placed on my property, which was gonna be heard on 3/9/07 but the other side never turned up in court.
The judge said he would dismiss the case.

I would like help in would i should do next?
and i should expect the other side to do next?

The money owed was to barclays then they passed it on to another company and then to another company, but the company that wanted to place a charging order the first i heard was when i received a court summons from them.

    If the case has been dismissed, then they will NOT be granted a charging order. I would wait for any further contact from the 'other side', then post again, with what they say.
    I'm not too sure how this leaves the position regarding the 'alleged debt' and would suggest that you contact CAB for legal advice, but I would think that this places you in the driving seat.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    If they want to pursue this case - they would either have to apply to set aside the judges order to start the claim again depending on their reason for not attending court. Who is the creditor by the way as I know a lot of solicitors file a written statement to excuse their attendance and save costs. If the court is behind on correspondance (and most are) its possible to papers never reached the file in time.

    Who are their solicitors? - off the top of my head Eversheds and Restons always file written evidence instead of attending x
