Stopping a CCJ via Tomlin Order with Reston Solicitors? 28 June 2017 at 2:40PM in Debt-free wannabe 7 replies 1.5K views

Got county claim forms from them asking me to submit defence etc. I contacted Restons, they refused a Tomlin order and Capquest (who passed it on) said there's absolutely nothing I can do. Any ideas? Thanks!

If you don't have a defence? No, other than to acknowledge service and offer a payment plan.


Going from your other thread also, no you cannot contest most fees as they're set by statute nowadays, including 8% interest etc.


If the CCJ is going forward a Tomlin Order is of course only issued with consent of both parties so if Restons don't want to play ball, you're stuck.

If the debt is over £5k, there is probably a very good reason why they want a CCJ.

Are you thinking about a statutory demand?

I think the OP is saying the claim is for £770 on the other thread

Yep, Restons have done that before. I didn't realise that the OP had two threads about it running, not seen the other one.

They can issue a statutory demand without a ccj - it's just a different form.

The OP's in rented accommodation with multiple debts - it might have been a good thing! Sadly, not going to happen.

Would they be likely to succeed without going down the county court route first for a non business debt?

Depends whether the debtor is insolvent or not
