Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
i had a credit card with Egg and to sut a long story short didnt pay, the debt of around £2300 was passed to Bryan Carter to chase. they registered a ccj against me on the 21/05/07 this was not for the full amount but for £315 which i paid on the 13/9/07. i didnt contact them to pay the remainder although they did leave messages on my mobile, then on 19/12/2008 they registered another ccj against me for the remainder of the debt £2158 which i've made 2 payments towards. someone at work told me that they cant issue 2 ccj's for the same amount is this right?? and if it is how do i sort it?
hi, thanks for the reply, it was a while ago now but i do remember i did get the judgement order. when i got the first 1 i lived with my parents but moved out soon after, the 2nd ccj was also sent to their house, if i remember rightly i didnt get the letter til after the date of the court order as i wasnt going to my parents house much.
Ok, these CCJ's will have been obtained by default via Northampton bulk court centre, especially the second one if you had moved home. There is no manual intervention at Northampton BCC so if you don't defend the Claimant just applies for the judgement by default and gets it automatically.
You have a case for getting the second one set-aside, but you need to ring Northampton BCC give them both case numbers and ask for a copy of all the paperwork. When you get that back from them we will see what can be done.

thanks for the replies, i'm starting to feel better about the situation now. i didnt call the court today as have been so busy with work. will do it tomorrow though.
i know this may not be the best place to ask but am i right in thinking you can still claim back charges from credit cards? i'm thinking about claiming them back from Egg, where this all started
sorry i've moved house recently (which has brought up other problems) so have not followed this up, i'll call the court tomorrow to get them to send out copies of the claims and let you know once they have
sorry for taking so long to reply, with moving house and having a new job i've just been so busy. and to be honest the thing that reminded me was when i got a letter from the court saying i had to pay or they would be coming round!
i now have a copy of both of the claims, they have different case numbers but under where it has bryan carters contact details it has the same reference number for them. on the first one under the particulars of the claim it does say 'the claimant claims £223, such sum being part of a debt due under an agreement number xxx (the agreement) whereby the defendant agreed to pay the claimant £2231.67 (the debt). For the avoidance of doubt in making this claim for a part of the debt the claimant does not waive any rights as to the balance of the debt, which the defendant continues to owe to the claimant under the agreement. The claimant reserves the right to make further claim for such sums of the debt as remain outstanding'
does this mean the are ok to give me 2 ccj's for the same debt? i have no idea.
