CCJ against me for an insurance claim
Hi,
Sometime in March while heading home after work, moped driver was too close to me and went into the back of me at a red light.
He claimed that I reversed, and I escalated to my insurance company. Received letters from his Solicitors which I sent over to my insurance, hadn't heard anything for the last 6 months.
Now received a CCJ from LIverpool county court to request me to pay over £20,000 to him.
I have esclated to my old insuracne company - aviva lol, been waiting a response from their solicitors keoghs, nada. Tried all day to contact them, bounce from one to another to another.
Incredibly frustrating situation, almost a fraud situation with him claiming a fault that didn't even happen. Undue stress and feel my insurance is not taking it seriously.
Would really appreciate advice from you kind hearted people.

You obviously need to keep trying to make contact with the solicitors, who should be able to advise you on how to go about dealing with the CCJ.
It is from the solicitor trying to get £20,000 from me directly because my insurance company has rejected their claim for money so theyre going for broke.
The OP is indemnified by the insurance company, but they are the entity that needs to be sued.
Essentially allowing the Insurance company to "deal with it", will not stop you from being hit with a CCJ by default.
Now a claim form has been issued, you must deal with the matter, you should acknowledge service online, this gives you 28 days in total to lodge your defence to the claim.
At the same time inform the insurance company what has happened, do you have legal cover ?
Because if you do, now is the time to take advantage of it, if you don`t, then get advice from either a solicitor, or at "Legal Beagles" online.
The claimant has chosen to try to extract this money from you personally, rather than the insurance company, who most probably have dismissed their original claim, its your name on the court papers now, so you have to deal with it.
More than a third of IVA`s fail....fact.

My insurance most likely rejected claims and the no win no fee solicitors have decided to go directly for me. Shame that these sort of things exist to just cause more trouble than anything else.
This original claim took place with my previous insurer and i have since moved to another motor insurance. Both motor insurance have legal cover. Should i stick with original insurer or ask the new one to get involved?
I'll acknowledge service online as youve said and contact the solicitors for aviva to get some advice.

Tried to acknowledge service online but I don't have a defense password. Reviewing the paperwork again, this has all been sent to me by his solicitors. This is all copies of their paperwork that they've sent across - not sure if this is just a scare tactic.
There is a defense claim pack attached to it but I have actually yet to receive any paperwork from Liverpool County court themselves. There was also a copy of a notice of issue, which is blank and has no dates on it. I'll be calling the county court tomorrow to find out !!!!!! is actually going on cause this is seeming more bogus.
The only thing i do have is a claim number from the court.
Also a defence pack, which includes form N9D.
You won`t get anything from the court, these forms can be down loaded from the web.
Calling the court would be my next move yes.
