CCJ Set aside - tuition fees

Sdw1985

so can you not set aside a ccj if you want to take it back to a stage where you can come to some arrangement?
I believe I was accepted on the course to make the numbers up when I wasn't in the right situation to actually complete the course. As I was told if I didn't accept now the next course would be in the October only if they had the numbers. I didn't have a host school but a new job in a trust which I told the uni about and they thought that would be fine, I didn't end up taking the job which was after I accepted. I had the offer onto the course on 23rd March which I had to accept by noon on 30th. I accepted at 12.34pm. The course started the second week of April. it soon became apparent that I could not complete this course as I did not have access to the correct information needed, I never submitted any work.
could this be my defence?
They also only ever communicated with me via email which hasn't been done since 2016.

I am sorry if I am looking stupid, I read things on this forum and other places but now I look back they were parking charges which seem less complicated than this situation. I am just a worried woman who has paid the fee without realising the legal jargon and what needs to be done. I really thought I had a case. I guess there is no way to get the £255 back...

You will have your time in front of the judge, all I can suggest is you make your case to them and see what happens, in legal terms you won’t meet the criteria, but the judge may take pity, it will be down to what happens on the day.

Have a look at the terms and conditions of the course you signed up for to see if there's anything that can be used to bolster your case.

Just an update on this, I put a defence together, contacted the claimant a few months before court date who came back to be the day before the court date and they agreed to the set aside

Hey man, in a similar situation right now. What did you do to have this set aside? What proof did you have to show? As I attended 5 years ago, I do not have access to the email back and forth I had with my university. How did you get this set aside? 

I know you know the panic I’m feeling, so this post is so hopeful.

They haven;'t logged on to MSE since May 2020.  You may be better to start your own thread and set out what has happened.
