not sure where i stand...

Before the hold was put in to place i went to court twice, the first time i was awarded in my favour but the bank claimed they hadn't recieved the date so another date was set, again as expected the bank didn't turn up and it was awarded in my favour once again. The banks never paid so after much chasing i was told that the bank had applied to hold things and to wait until after all the court cases.

does the fact that the courts have awarded me the money count for anything or am i still not likely to ever see the money?

kind regards,
Jason

    What happened to the application to have the case put on hold?
    If the answer is that it was agreed then the judgement by default(twice potentially) have been overturned.

  • in all honesty I don't know what happened, the first i knew of it having been put on hold the second time was when i tried to chase the money that as far as i was aware i had been awarded.

    The court should have contacted you with details that an application had been made on both occassions to set aside the judgement. The first one would probably have been easy to get the court to agree to, the second one would have been more difficult. I'm surprised you were not asked to attend at least the second application to set aside the judgement so that you could state why you didn't think it should be allowed (or at least invited to provide such case in writing).

    If judgement was set aside, you don't have judgement.

    If not, then you should be enforcing judgement if you want your money and they are not paying.
