Sourcrates/ Fatbelly if the debt is statute barred how were they able to get a CCJ granted, and shouldn't the OP be sending the its statute barred letter?

I've read today on here and elsewhere that my options include, finding a hefty £255 fee, in order to have it "set aside" (on the basis that it's statute barred). However, there may be a hearing, and I can't afford to come to the UK for it.

I've also read, that if I do manage to get through that procedure, the debt could be sold on, and this could happen again (reminds me rather of The Trial).

OP seems aware of the process.

Hi chev,

The problem was the OP had moved abroad, so did not receive the court papers, so could not respond with a statute barred defence.

Judgement was granted by default, so the court, never got to hear the defence, only way to solve this now is to apply for a set aside on the basis the debt was statute barred, but the OP is unable to attend a hearing, because of where they live.
