Progressing a CCJ set aside

Slybee

Hello all , this is my first post in the group.
I'm just looking for a little pointer in the right direction, any help or advice would be great.

I had a CCJ made against me, very unlawfully by a membership management of a gym.
They were taking membership payments from me and at some point decided to take 2x lots for a number of months.
I claimed them back with an indemnity claim from the bank and left the club pretty promptly however i was refused credit on a loan recently which surprised me as my credit score is usually high.
They've given me a CCJ for basically taking my own money back.
I have statements of the double payments and i also have a letter dated from feb2017 from them, to my new address but for some reason the CCJ was sent to my old address in May 2017. Perhaps this is so that I cannot defend myself.

Anyway I received a General form of judgement or order from Blackpool court, It tells me that i have to file and serve a fully pleaded defence within 14 days.
What does this mean and who do i serve it to? The court and the company involved ? Im pretty confused and the 14 day timescale means i need to get my act together or risk missing the deadline, im 5 days in now and cant seem to find a finger in the right direction.

Thanks guys.

Hi,

How much is the debt for ?

As a set-aside costs £255,00 !!

You should post on Legal Beagles for advice on how to deal with this :

The debt is £360, I applied for help with the set aside fees and they were granted.
Also the set aside has been accepted, possibly because my grounds were so strong.
I missed that point in the OP

Its just the 'file and serve fully pleaded defence' that's confusing me in the courts response.
