Thread: 28 days has passed - Judgement Day

So now I've served judgement on Lloyds is that it? Is there any way of them still contesting this or do I really win by default? I just can't believe it's been this easy. They haven't even put up a fight.

From when the claim was served. They said they were going to defend in full, but I've put asked for a judgement and it's been accepted! I asked for the payment to be made immediately, so how long do I wait for the money? It says I can issue a warrant. Do I really need to do this?

It was deemed served on 1st August for me too. They acknowledged on 3rd also but have not put forward a defence since. I put through a default on moneyclaim on 30th August (yesterday) and it was accepted this morning. Does this mean Lloyds now have to cough up??

I think they can as the judge to over turn and still put in defence. not sure but I think that has happened before

If it were me I'd send the baliffs in!

Seriously though..... they could still put in a late defence with some sort of excuse and the judge would probably accept it. Why the courts should accept late entries of defences though is beyond me, they've already had 28 days.

i think that you will be fine, never forget they dont want to go to court.

Do they often do this? I wouldn't have thought it would be allowed. How irritating.

I know it happens. I don't understand why either. If the defence was from a private individual that fell ill then maybe that's an excuse, but not from a major firm of solicitors!

hi...i recieved my notice of transfer of proceedings this morning, on exactly day 28......they havnt half dragged it out. i now have to fill in the questionaire.
bugger!!!!

you never know if its got delayed in the post or anything - it could be that. i so wish mine hadnt come this morning!!! i was all ready for the baliffs!!!

So what actually happens, now the 28 days are up?

iv recieved a quort allocation questionaire, it sets the date when you send it back for the court date to be heard.
i really hope it doesnt go that far, i havnt read a case yet where it has

sorry - wrote that in a rush - court questionaire!!!!

They really do like to stretch out the whole thing don't they?

yeah, but from what i gather a lot go this far, then they tend to cave in a day before the court date apparantly - have you heard or read anything different?.....i think everyone thinks there gonna be the first to go to court, and then lose!!!!!

Yes, this is what I was expecting. I wasn't expecting them to just not bother! It's thrown me a bit, so I'm not sure what to do next as there doesn't seem to be any similar cases on here. Should I issue a warrant or wait a few days for them to pay or what??

I would contact the court by phone to see the exact position and to check the status of your entered Judgement. If judgement has been entered and no defence has been received by tomorrow morning I would be inclined to issue a warrant of execution straight away.
