Multiple CCJs from PCNs I was unaware about. URGENT, PLEASE HELP!

OK if no writ, put both applications in as normal CCJ set aside cases as per the advice and linked example - icy_fox I think? - in the NEWBIES thread and as per the more recent examples by @Lia_F and @Truss_me (among dozens of others who did or are doing CCJ set aside hearings in 2025 (that you can find by a forum search of a couple of keywords).

Evening, sorry for the late response. Unfortunately, due to some really bad family circumstances, I didn’t put any effort into completing the set asides.

Today, I was contacted by the tenants of my old address about Bailiffs looking for me and claiming money. They left a High Court Enforcement Attendance letter asking for me to contact a number.

As soon as I saw this, I immediately completed an N244 form (assuming it’s for the CCJ of the higher claim amount) and handed it in at my local county court in order to Stay the Writ. As they are closed for the weekend, they instructed me that the application will be processed today but payment can only be made on Monday. 

I then contacted the number left on the enforcement letter but they couldn’t answer. I sent them a text asking for the claimant, claim number, amount and reference to confirm it’s for the ccj I submitted for. They asked for my name and I replied, I haven’t heard anything since.

Have I made the right steps here? And if not, what should I do? Also, do bailiffs work on weekends and should I still take precautions to hide my vehicle?

Yes you've done it right but must phone the local court first thing in the morning to pay the £15 fee for your application to stay the writ.

This WILL BE about the one over £600 and cannot be about the other one (impossible).

You must also do the other application if you want to set aside the lower one, otherwise you're credit-clamped for six years.

YOU MUST ACT PROMPTLY. SO FAR YOU HAVE NOT. DO THIS NEXT WEEK.

You could ask in both witness statements for the court to consolidate the applications so there is one hearing and the claims are both struck out, pursuant to the authority of VCS v Carr.

If you son't understand the importance of VCS v Carr to your applications, you need to search the forum because that case torpedoes both claims completely.

Just an update. So after I’ve handed in the N244 forms, I called the court as instructed but I was told that I will be called by the court themselves to make payment. It’s Tuesday and I haven’t heard anything so I decide to go to the court to ask for an update. I was told I still have to await a call and I left my number (even though the form has it)

Fast forward to today (Friday), I was told by the tenants by my old address that an HCEO attended their house again looking for my whereabouts. They told them that I don’t live there and they don’t know my new address but left a similar letter to last week. 

I went to the court immediately again to ask if the application has been processed and if I’m able to make payment. I was talked to by one of the workers who process applications and gives them to the judge. She had let me know that she did process my application but she has to receive the result back from the judge in order for me to make payment. I told her it’s a matter of urgency and she took my number and promised to chase this up. She siad I’ll likely be contacted today or Monday.

She also instructed me to call the bailiff and let them know that I’ve applied a N244 form and that its order is to Stay the Writ to stop future visits. I did so after, and the call wasn’t pleasant. I told the HCEO that I do not live at that address, I’ve handed in a N244 form and they need to stop the visits. He accused me of lying about everything as I can’t/won’t provide proof of the application and new address. 

Can you provide any advice? I’ve also handed in the set aside form for the other CCJ as well, but I had a help with fees reference as I’m on very low income this year.

Funny enough, I received the call from the court just after I posted this. I’ve paid for the Stay the Writ order and I’ve been given a hearing a couple of months from now. I’ve been told that I should receive a letter for this order in the post very soon.

Do I contact the HCEOs about this? Or email D C B?

Yes for peace of mind I would send DCB Legal a copy of both applications and say they are both in with the applicable court and paid for (they don't need to know that one is covered by Help With Fees).

And that the larger one (claim number xxxxx re Total Parking Solutions) is to Stay the Writ and is already with a judge at xxxxx court, so they must call their HCEO dogs off. Tell them that they already know the claims were both improperly served because the HCEO has visited the old address and noted that new tenants live there.

I'd redact your new address in your copy applications so they don't have that yet. They'll get it soon enough but let's not tempt the HCEOs this weekend.

Just slightly confused. I paid for the stay the writ and I have received the letter with the hearing. With my letter, it says “notice of hearing” and with the letter in the thread with the link below, that person received a judgement order. 

I’ve sent dcb via email, the copy of my n244 along with this letter with my current address redacted. I’ve not received a reply yet. Does this still mean that HCEOs have to stop visits or are they only to do so after the hearing?

Please help to make a difference to the big picture: join us to do the Public Consultation once we've discussed it in August.

It's vital the Government hears from people receiving aggressive court claims and default CCJs with no efforts made to resolve valid disputes and no real intention to bring their cases before judges:
