Am I wrong to refuse to pay?

Thank you, but I am still unclear on what grounds to defend this if I cannot say that I think the amount is excessive..


Here are a few possibles.


Their contract with the landowner may not be viable. Their terms and conditions are unclear or perverse. They may not have complied with the legislation.


They have a lot of hurdles to jump, they invariably fall on at least one of them.

Getting a. Ccj doesn't affect anyone's credit status.

It's not paying one off that results in problems.

Only I'd you don't pay it off in full during the 30 days from getting judgement against you does it get registered against you (for 6 years)

Nor am I worried about CCJs.. I dont think it would affect me in any way. I dont use credit.. and I have a mortgage.

Except if you wanted to:

- Move house (that always means a new mortgage, even if the same bank/company)
- Remortgage to get a better rate
- Get a new phone contract
- Act as guarantor for a student child
- Get a car loan
- Use interest-free credit for any purchase

But either way, if you lost and paid there is no CCJ on your record. And we don't see people losing.
