Hello Sequenci - I dont know if you will see this but wondered if you could let me have the link again, the above didnt seem to work! Many thanks

Hello Sequenci, thanks for that but sadly the link didnt work. The sum involved is about £7500 although I dispute this vigourously (not the debt just the amount) so how do I defend it when I am here in France and cant really afford to go back to the UK or employ a lawyer over there. I did read somewhere about an EEO (European Enforcement Order ) somewhere but thought it had to be an undisputed debt. What has to be served on me, the summons or the judgement? Thanks for your advice and help, this is all getting a bit scary !

Hello Rory Yes we have been in touch by e mail over the last 4 years - well with Optima Legal their DCA and they told me they had issued the summons in the county court where I lived 5 years ago. Thats when I called the Court

ps How do or can I get advice from a moderator?

Hi Alibob No I have nothing at all in the UK. I have though accepted there is a debt, simply disputed the amount so sad;y not statute barred. I guess I just cant understand how a UK Court can issue proceedings against someone living in another country - it would be great if one of the Moderators or experts here could find this query of mine

Update. I have just spoken to a friendly woman at the County Court who told me (she thinks) that the Judge agreed to issue the summons even though he realised I was out of the Court's jurisdiction. Does that help anyone here who might understand all this better?

Hello. I hope someone can help. I had a debt in the UK before I moved to France 5 years ago from a failed business. I have now heard they are taking me to the County Court in the UK for this. Apart from not being able to go back to the Court hearing (I am now retired and it would be difficult), I wondered what they can do to me? Thank you
