Gladstone's solicitors

Hi I got a letter from Gladstone's saying that "we have recently obtained a county court judgement against you on behalf of the above named client in the sum of £185. If payment is made within one calendar month of the ccj being entered we will notify the court and the ccj should be removed from your record.

The letter is dated 6 December, date of judgement 23rd September.

When I go onto the Gladstone's website it tells me that £280 is due to pay. Is that right? Surely it's £185 and not £280.

    If the date of the judgment is 23rd September you have missed the opportunity to have it wiped off your credit account/score.  Have you actually received the judgment?  Were you expecting one?  Have you recently had a court hearing?  Looks like Gladstones are adding a fee for collecting the money!

    The hearing was on the 23rd September and judge said i got to pay £185. But i get letter from them on the 6th of December saying that
    If payment is made within one calendar month of the ccj being entered we will notify the court and the ccj should be removed from your record. So shouldn't i be paying £185 since it hasn't been one calendar month yet of recieving this letter

    Wait.  You went to a hearing and lost?

    But then failed to pay what the Judge ordered?

    if you lose at a hearing you don't sit on your hands and wait to get a letter.


    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    @gamer123 You need to give us as much information as possible to see if any of the regulars can spot a way to overturn or reverse this to get your chance to defend it in court (and win).
