    I provided all creditors a change of address via email.

    The claim form issued to me was at my new address, all letters pre claim form and post claim form where to old addresses.
    My argument was had these other letters reached me at the correct address i would have simply paid the amount.

    this was only rejected as i responded in my legal name rather than my decade old name hence the name change became an issue
    Then I will reiterate what was said before - you need legal advice to resolve this, and get it before moving an inch further. There are multiple issues here, and you really need a professional to comb through it.

    You'll need legal advice.


    Was the advice of the address change sent via your new name? If so, did the creditors simply ignore it because they didn't have a procedure for this sort of thing?


    Once it got to the court stages however, they'd have done a trace, matching you up to the debts. However, You'd need advice to see if that would be grounds for a set aside.
