Judgement for claimant ???

SRV_2

We have recieved a copy of a 'Judgement for claimant' which has been sent to Barclays that says:

'To the Defendant

You have not replied to the claim form [we sent a Request for judgement form N225 to the court after Barclays did not offer a defence].

It is therefore ordered that you must pay the claimant £1793 for the debt and £120 for costs. You must pay the claimant a total of £1913 forthwith.'


Is there any way Barclays can get out of this???

When can we expect payment by??

What should we do if we don't receive it??

Are we getting into bayliff teritory??



What worries us a bit is that there are 'Notes for the defentant' included in the letter we have received. Here is is stated that 'If you did not reply to the claim form and believe judgement has been entered wrongly in default, you may apply to the court office giving your reasons why the judgement should be set aside'

There is no date by which they have to pay or respond.


Thanks

Any ideas anyone?

They can, if they want to, apply for the judgment to be set aside - this basically would be them asking for a another opportunity to defend the case - whether this will happen or not depends on them, if they dont pay then you can go back to court and apply for the bailliffs to seize assets that would cover the debt, if they dont respond or pay up then that is your next step

Thanks for that!

Do you know if there is a time limit that they have to apply for the case to be set aside?

Our letter from the court says that if they pay within a month they can 'ask the court to cancel the entry on the Register.'

However, I can't see Barclays worrying aboout that too much. What is a reasonable length of time for us to ask the court to send in bailiffs? I want to maintain control of the situation and not let let Barclays simply drag their heels for as long as possible and ignore me.

Thanks

I think it's generally 21 days

Have you done your claim thru MCOL ? If you have phone them and ask them. I have found their helpline very good for advice and support.
Good luck
