  1. It is I just wanted to throw an open question out there
  2. Hi The debt is actually disputed and ccj was registered without knowledge and So I was never given the 14 or 28 days anyway
  3. Hi I have a CCJ registered against my ltd company, and I want to appeal the 'set aside' decision which went against us, and still can if I act quickly. If I did pay the the amount disputed would the CCJ be removed as it still open to appeal or would the CCJ remain. I hope that it makes sense and I am grateful for all info and advice. JP
  4. Hi Bank Fodder there is a ccj registered as I thought Trust online shows 30/10/13 £1,167 Unsatisfied Judgment
  5. Hi Can anyone tell me if, A CCJ was registered, but is still open to appeal after a set aside hearing whether it would be cleared if the amount in dispute was settled before the appeal window closed. I hope that makes sense. Any info appreciated
  6. If only it was just a' feature' ! Unfortunately I have to travel the country a fair amount and certain times of the year, myself and my partner are away from home for anything from 3 days up to nearly 4 weeks. Its not ideal and as a parent it is difficult, and sometimes it causes problems, as it has here. Being self employed is a life style , and not a job I guess.
  7. Hi Bank Fodder Sorry for the delay but I have been away working for the last few days. I am emailing you now.
  8. Hi thanks for the reply I have tried to keep it simple as poss so see replies below in red The advert was only placed with the Jobcentre and the RC approached through the ad. I think that you have been treated quite harshly by the trial judge and also in your setasideicon application - although you haven't posted the application here and so one can't be sure. Please will you post the setaside application for us Will do asap However, I would also say that you rather courted this disaster in the way that you managed the recruitment and in the way you managed the claim against you. I appreciate that you don't have any litigation experience but even at a basic level of management, it makes it less surprising that judge found against you. I am aware of that and wish...... Also it is clear that this RC is very businesslike and aggressive about the way that they do these things - and the fact that they have transferred the judgment to the High Court in order to enforce it shows that they are experienced about this and have a very no nonsense approach. I had no knowledge of transfer either You have been with us since 2011. It is a shame that you didn't come to us much earlier because the outcome for you would have been very different I had thought that getting a set aside hearing and stay was a good sign, it would give me a chance to defend properly I think that you need to do some basic research here in order to see if you can put a case together which has a chance of success. How long ago did the judge refuse you leave to appeal? You have a limited window to ask for permission - is it 14 days? I believe it was 14 days and the RC solicitor also said she would give 14 days before enforcing again and I needed to inform her of appeal And you need to complete your research well before then if you feel that you might want to challenge the decisions against you. I think that you need to contact two or three recruitment agencies and find out a bit more about the industry. You need to find out what is generally understood as a "permanent employee". Is it the same as fulltime? Could it refer to part-time? How are recruitment charges generally charged out. I find it odd that there is a one-off fee and that nothing is tied in to the length of employment - or at least a minimum period of employment. we were not given any terms until after the event How is the fee calculated? Up to £20,000 = 17.5% fee part time or not What is the normal fee charged by recruitment companies. Is this one within the range? yes How was your fee calculated by the RC salary est was £4680 x 17.5% = £819 + Vat How much were you paying this employee As above Did they send you an invoice? Please will you post it here. Asap Also, I would like you to contact me my email please - on our adminicon email address. Please include details of the RC and of the employee who you took on - including dates of their employment, the rate of pay etc. All of this will be received in confidence but there are a few questions which I would like to investigate as well. Please include a contact phone number. Asap If you want to stand a chance of doing something about this, then please act immediately.

  13. Hi Andy thanks for the reply. I will do now Jaw
  14. Hi Not sure what advice anyone can give me and sorry it is long winded. Over a year ago my partner and I advertised for a part time admin person and were approached by a recruitment company who had obviously seen us as a possible lead! We are only a small business, but my partner decided to allow the RC to come to our house and discuss if they could help. I was not keen and left it to my partner. The result being she agreed to meet 3 applicants. She did not sign any terms and conditions, nor was she given any at that time, cost was not discussed at any time. An email from the RC asked us to return and sign them but none were attached. We then went away on business for three weeks. However my partner decided to try one applicant and informed the RC by telephone that she could start 4th Jan 2013 for one day a week. (During the time we were away an email was sent with the costs, which my partner did not pick up due to work etc) We then received an invoice for £980 dated 27th December payable immediately. I was a bit shocked by the cost (as was my partner) and was reluctant to pay as I had no idea it would be this much. I wrote and said that i would pay monthly ( as I believed that should she stop working I would not have to keep paying) We sent a payment and also said that no terms etc had been signed and costs agreed. The RC refused and started legal action and during this period the admin person informed us she was going to do her own freelance work and stopped any more work on 2nd April having completed about 6 or 7 days work in total. I received a court claim form etc. I lodged a defence and after agreeing to mediation I was told they had refused that, and a court date was set for October 14th. The RC replied to the defence and I replied to that and sent copies by registered post to the RC and the court. Now a week before the hearing I was given a date 14th October for an operation, that I had been waiting for, two years waiting, that's why I was on a last minute list if a space arose. I emailed the court and informed them of the operation and apologised for the short notice. I did hope that it would be postponed and foolishly said in the email that if they had to hear it in my absence I would understand believing if that happened they would look at my defence. I got an automated response, and heard nothing more and was out of action myself for nearly 2 months. To be fair I did forget all about it until March when I received a letter from a claims management offering to help after the judgement against us. I immediately tried to call the court and could not get through and emailed again on the 5th march asking for details and why we had not been informed of any judgement. Again I had only an automated reply. We then went away for work for another 4 weeks working and just after arriving back had a visit from the High Court enforcement Officer demanding £1908.35 and giving 4 days to pay. I rang the court again and after a fair wait finally got through and was abruptly told that my defence was dismissed and a letter of judgement had been sent out. I have never received any letter of judgement and would have acted if I had done so. I then applied to the High Court for a Stay and the County Court for a hearing to set aside, and was granted both. In my defence I thought I had a good chance of judgement in my favour for the following reasons. 1.The claim and judgement were not made out to our partnership, which they started with originally but in the name of our other business which is similar in name, but is a ltd company that trades under owns a cafe with different premises and registered office (my old accountants who were still listed on the Companies house website. I imagine they may have been sending stuff there mistakenly, and the HCE officers actually told me that they had gone there and were given my home address by them. I did send proof to the RC that it was the wrong company they were claiming against, in the form of separate headed paper and separate cheque books and accounts. We also have separate VAT and HMRC accounts and they are totally different types of business. 2. We never signed any agreement and only saw any terms and conditions when we were given demands for payment. 3. The RC had two of their employees, who were writing to both my home and my previous accountants. 4. The 'admin employee' had ceased any work after hardly any time at all and why should we pay any more than that. 5. There are other points I raised but those were the main defence. today at the Set aside hearing the DJ was not interested in any of this and stated that the original judge had dismissed my defence and any counter claim. I am certain he did not have any of the original documents from my reply to the RCs reply. I believe he was only looking at my application to set aside which had the email informing of my op, and the follow up email. He said 'what does it matter if the Ltd Company had the judgement as opposed to us personally' he also expressed doubt that I had not received the judgement, and I should have known that it had gone ahead in my absence. He was not interested in my email asking what had happened, or any info from the hospital. He would not let me explain anything, and he favoured the RC solicitor and I got quite upset as he would not listen and refused to set aside the judgement and said I should pay the original cost and court costs so about £1150. He also said he would not allow me to appeal without applying for permission. I am really angry and feel that it was already decided before we entered the room. What can I do now. Any help appreciated Jaw
