ok..the hearing was Monday on the disputed claim...The defendant was late which the judge was annoyed about...His defence was weak to say the least..The judge ruled that he has to pay the money into the court and not to myself and also to send myself and the court a copy of a new defence....How is it that he is able to defend himself again?...If he doesn't do all of these things by next tuesday, the judgement will not be set aside and I win the case...A new hearing will follow him paying the money into the court...I am confused at this course of action to say the least

thanks for your reply..I have to warn you there is some colourful language used by the defendent, but I remained calm, composed and polite. I hope the judge has not lived a sheltered life or previously been a man of the cloth. Bankfodder, would I please be able to send you the video somehow for your opinion? Many thanks

After taking this guy to court, obtaining judgement, issuing a warrant, I had a letter from the bailiff saying he was unable to contact the defendant. I got hold of him straight away on a number I gave the bailiff, and asked him what was going on...He said he was disputing the judgement and its going back into court. After wasting my £55 on this no good bailiff, I decided to meet with him in his shop and video the meeting on my camera phone. He clearly states that he wants to keep the signs I did for him, but is not willing to pay for them..Is this video (or a transcript of the video) admissable in county court? Thanks for your help

many thanks for your speedy reply. you are most kind

Can 2 different bailiffs secure 2 different debts with one item? i.e a car thats on hire purchase? many thanks Rob

should I contact the bailiff on Monday and update him of these circumstances?...Many many thanks

Thanks for your response, There is no where on the signs that says he is a limited company, and yes,I do know where he lives.. I can honestly say, it was not until much later that I found out he was a limited company. You have cheered me up by saying this

I am a signwriter and did some signs for a guy. I finished the job, and he said he can't pay me. I said he can pay in installments, he said no. I threatened to remove the signs...nothing. I applied for a county court judgement, then once I knew he had received the papers, I called to collect the money...A scuffle broke out, and the police was called....We both signed to drop the matter of assault and that was the end of that. I got judgement by default and got the warrant. Spoke to the bailiff at the county court and he has 7 days to pay the bailiff....The 7 days are up today, but yesterday I found out that he is a limited company. The company is a shop and still trading, but displaying my signs that he hasn't paid for. Can the bailiff take the stock from the shop to sell if he is a limited company? A mate told me me if he is LTD, there is nothing the bailiff can do. Surely not if the shop is still trading? Thanks in advance Oh BTW, the debt is £300
