I presume by that you are referring to those who suggested that you should have sorted it when the overpayment was first brought to your notice, or at the second opportunity when you again allowed it to slip your mind.
With your attitude it's a shame you didn't get a CCJ against you. It might have woken you up to the fact that problems don't generally just go away.

A CCJ must have been issued before a notice of enforcement.

What a shame

HELLO!

I have an odd one, I don't know where else to put it so I put it here. I hope you can advise me.

I received a "Notice of intent to enforce a judgement".

The story:
6 years ago I worked for the Department for Social Development in the Northern Ireland Civil Service.
My 1 year contract with them finished in November 2010. I received a letter some months later saying I was overpaid by £400 and could I pay it back. I had been unaware of this at the time of being paid, assumed the pay was mine as I had some holiday pay to still get.
I heard nothing else of it for some years and since moved address several times and forgot all about it.

In June 2016 they asked me to pay the "outstanding amount" but now it was £470. In July 2016 they sent a letter about a small claim and if I intended to dispute it/accept it etc. I did at this stage intend to reply but somehow it slipped me by and I did nothing.

I assume I had been send a letter few then saying they have judged me to owe the money but I didn't get it because now in December I receive this "Notice of intent to enforce a judgement" by the "Department for Communities".

Present state of affairs:
I am currently unemployed (over a year) and without property, assets or savings. I have zero chance of getting the money.

What path to take now. Can I fight this? Or should I just aim for a very low "repayment" plan with them? Will they accept such a deal? What about the fact it has been over 6 years?

Simply put:
What can/should I do now?

Thanks for any advice.

In case of disappearance ...
