Hi to all,
Can you help me please ?
I have received a CCJ from my Ex employer for £3000.00 . This is because they overpaid me over the time i worked with them. The amount accumalated over 2 years believe it or not and they didn't notice until i decided to leave !!! I honestly never had a clue. I was paying this off a little a time £25.00 per month until a short while ago as i couldn't afford to pay.
I work but don't have anything left to give. My house and other cumpulsary commitments simply wont allow it ie mortgage /secured loan/living day to day.
To be honest am probably going bankrupt soon as i have 30k debts
Q: What will happen if i don't reply and ignore it ?
Q: What will happen if i reply and in the expenses form it clearly shows i dont have anything to give?
Q: Who will pay the court costs ( i think so far it is £75.00)
Help much appreciated.

Welcome
Others will come on and advise on the CCJ, but in the mean-time, it would help if you list your income and expenditure

Did you receive court papers etc prior to it being issued?
From what little I know the court cannot set the payment level at something more than you can afford, and as such you should have received both papers asking for your side of the story as it were) prior to it going to court, and papers asking for a copy of your income/outgoings so the repayment level could be set at realistic amount.
If you ignore it and the court awards in the old employers favour and you ignore the repayments (or cannot afford them), they can send in the bailiffs eventually (filling in the income/outgoing form helps the court set the payments at a level that is affordable, even if it's only very small amount a month).0 -
Sorry the payment terms were set via my ex-employer through a means tested form.

- You didn’t know there was a mistake.
- You couldn’t reasonably have been expected to know there was a mistake.
- Putting right the mistake will cause you financial hardship.
If the claim is on-going, you should seek some more advice. You could try Citizens Advice. This is certainly important, if it could make the difference between you going and not going bankrupt later on.古池や蛙飛込む水の音0 -
The court paperwork is my ex-employer starting a claim as i failed to keep up payments.
