Actually yes it is. If you didn't have an opportunity to defend yourself you can apply for a set aside. Whilst not guaranteed there is a very high probability of getting one.jjames1985 said:

On the basis of not receiving the paperwork. That's if you were abroad at the time. Alternatively if you are willing to pay the debt you might be able to negotiate getting a set aside with consent.

Civil Procedure Rule 13.2 and 13.3 cover it. You should be given the opportunity to defend it. If the court feels you have absolutely no defence they can decline the application to set aside but they are supposed to grant one if the claim isn't acknowledged and is granted in default.jjames1985 said:

We don't know the circumstances as to the moving abroad though. As I have said it's not guaranteed one would be granted, it is a possibility though. A set aside with consent is an even greater possibility.jjames1985 said:

If you are unable to accept responsibility and help yourself. Then mortgage lenders may well decide that you don't meet their criteria. Which in the current climate is going to be an even higher bar to jump.fiji2020 said:I could clear them, but I have read mixed messages about the affect of doing so.0 -

You don't need point 2 for a set aside with consent. You do have to pay what you owe and all the associated costs though. Plus the other party needs to agree with it. That may be a way forward for the opsourcrates said:waamo said:
