Can I reclaim court fees £275 if I succesfully have a CCJ set aside?

25 Posts

Hi
I had an alert on my credit file last night and found a CCJ on there from the 14th June 22.
A little digging around this morning and I've discovered that it was for a parking charge that I paid previously and have evidence and correspondence that confirms this was paid by the deadline.
The total cost of the CCJ was £289. I've already paid the £60 charge.
I spoke to the county court and they informed me that to have a CCJ set aside it will cost me £275?!!!!
I asked them, that if I was confident that I could show the court that the CCJ was issued wrongly could I claim the £275 back from the claimant? The agent for the court told me she couldn't advise on that.
Can I claim the £275 back if my case is strong?
Thanks

I have spoken with the solicitors QDR and explained to the agent the situation and forwarded them proof of payment, correspondence so I'm hoping that they will sort it quickly but I understand time is of the essence if I want this to disappear from my credit file.
The agent was ridiculous fwiw. Kept repeating the words "enforcement action" "CCJ has been issued". It's like they are trained to wind you up.

Appreciate it, I'll stick it in there instead.

Add to that the fact the guy had actually paid the fine on time as well, he should counterclaim and take them to the cleaners.
More than a third of IVA`s fail....fact.

The parking charge was issued to the correct address.
I moved address.
I paid the charge while at my new address.
The issue isn't not receiving the parking charge.
The issue is them messing up and continuing with court proceedings for a charge which was paid already after I'd left the address and updated my DVLA records.
