CCJ received on statute barred debt

rog2

I assume that you had not received a summons? If this is the case, and you were unable to submit a defence (the fact that the 'alleged debt' was statute barred is the only defence that you need to submit) then you will need to ask to have the judgement set aside, using the form that penguin linked to.
But do it right away.

Thanks for all the advice so far, it's been a great help. I think I might need a little more though after this morning's update:

I've just called my local court, who then told me to ring Northampton court as they issued it (I've never lived in or been anywhere near Northampton, but never mind, I'm sure there's reasons for this).

It appears the CCJ was registered on 18th January 2001 at an address that I may or may not have lived at at the time (I can't remember exactly when I moved, I'll need to look that up). Either way I can't remember getting a summons or anything.

My question now though is: Can this judgement still be enforced? We're just over 7 years down the line from when it was issued and my understanding was that they only got 6 years to enforce CCJs. Can I tell them to clear off? And who should I contact - Should I still be doing form N244 or is it best to contact the Student Loans company direct? Or should I ring my local court back and advise them to stop? And what should I do with this application for attachment of earnings letter?

Thanks in advance.

The claimants can still enforce the judgment after 6 years but they have to make an application to the court to show why they havent enforced it yet. So it is possible that they have done this and got permission from the judge to issue the attachment. x x
