The sols claimed they dont care about BH or if the amount was wrong. Based on the age of the debt, they're convinced i cant defend the amount but will look into why wrong address used. I'll SAR Black horse and submit CCJ Set aside after a week

Car taken by Black Horse at the new address. Letters from Black Horse at the new address already sent to Rentons.

Just called Restons, they claim that "someone" must have changed the address to the old one. They claim that the address "must have been" changed by Arrow between January 2016 and August 2016. I find this hard to believe since Arrow confirmed verbally that they have the right address when i initially called about the CCJ. Rentons are still waiting for a response from Arrow (2 whole weeks) and will write me to confirm that the matter is still being investigated "in due course". There seems to be no time limit to when they'll be able to give me a response. The Sols case worker claims that they are not interested in a dispute of the £479 owed and that it's not up to them or Arrow to provide how that figure was calculated, is this true? And that £596 is payable no matter what the outcome is of their investigation. This STINKS!!, Every time the amount is challenged, it just gets sold to the next person. Is it time to submit my CCJ Set aside request? Should i wait for the investigation confirmation letter to add to my court documents?. Should i bother with a SRA request or similar? I've got a feeling that they're stalling on purpose to prevent me going to court early enough. Should i include in court docs that i still want the proof of debt? (car sold off in 2013)

NO. All i've done is ask the Sols why CCJ at old address. They said they needed proof that their client knew the right address all along. Should i follow up with SAR or call them again first?

No SAR sent yet. Wanted to know the very next stage. It's obvious that our verbal approach doesn't work. Should i send SAR before calling Sols again?

CCJ on file means we can't remortgage as planned. What's the point paying almost £10k of debt in 6 months and getting a CCJ for less than £600.

I dont mind paying the amount IN FULL, i just dont want a satisfied CCJ. No CCJ would have been on file had it been sent to our address. It would have been defended or paid off. To be honest, if the sols agree the full amount to set aside, i will pay it. I just don't want to offer to settle unless i'm sure thats the only option

Defence is based on our failed requests to get settlement calculation . We dispute the debt amount in part or full since we've not been told how much the car and contents sold for Do you think this isn't a suitable defence?

Should i call or write to Arrow or Restons if no response?

I phoned Arrow and got referred to their solicitors, Restons. Restons claimed that the last address given was correct etc but said they would talk to their client if i can supply the "proof" that their client knew of my new address. I sent the required info (letter from original creditor, letter from DCA that sold to Arrow and letter from Arrow themselves) and got an auto reply claiming that i should give up to 10 days for response. It's the tenth working day now, should i bother calling Arrow or Restons again? Should i just pay the £255 court fee to set aside?

I agree in hindsight. Just want to know what the best route is that removes ccj from file Only initial one from Blackhorse after car was taken was responded to. Other DCA letters ignored

the same debt.. blackhorse and 4 others for the same debt have written to the right address

Original debt was for credit card debt Date of default 09/02/2013 Default balance £ 684 CCJ claim amount £867 CCJ was from Lowell DCA

It might come as a surprise but "not allowed to work" doesn't mean "cant or wont work". Important bills still paid but couldn't return home until i paid for and got solicitor's assurance that i wont be picked up. Essential bills still paid with whatever i could earn. Squatted with friends was the only way i could stay off radar while getting much reduced income.. My wife was studying full time and we didn't expect the application to take so long.. I hope this clarifies a bit.. What's my best option, i don't think i can wait 4 years to get back into a decent job We have been making and paying back settlement offers that we have agreed with the debt collectors. All that have written about CCJs or sent collectors to door have already been settled. This one would have been pushed to the top of queue had we got the court papers. Please note that this is for HP that has already had the asset taken from the current address and letters received from all sorts. Absolutely no grounds for setting CCJ at old address

I don't mind paying off the debt in full plus any court charges.. I just don't know what grounds the court will set aside an old CCJ and if it also matters if the debt collector agrees or not.

Thanks for swift replies... I do have proof from them and 4 of the debt resellers, letters stating they have been sold or are selling the debt. I want to pay the debt off but don't know if the only option now is to pay the £255 to set aside first

I used to work in Finance, decent pay and access to credit. Initial application made to the Home Office to continue staying in UK was rejected and asked to leave. Decided not to but had to leave my address when i came home to find that my door had been kicked in. A warrant had been issued to have me arrested and deported. I had to squat with friends and use all savings and credit to get a top lawyer to help. I defaulted on a credit card for around £800 and got CCJ in 2014. After lengthy Home Office battle, i was given Leave to remain in the UK in September 2016. I can now work and would prefer to get back into Finance, problem is that FSA are very strict and CCJ means no work. even satisfied CCJs aren't allowed. -Should i contact the claimant and offer to pay the CCJ in full and all fees if they agree to a consent order to have the CCJ set aside? -If they refuse, doesn't that mean that they now have more reasons to send bailiffs after me? - Can anyone really agree with the claimant to get a 2 year old CCJ set aside rather than waiting 4 more years? Will the court allow this? Home Office restricted me from working while considering the application. I wasn't allowed to work or start a business till i got the positive decision. Is this enough grounds for a court to consider? or do i have to prove that i didn't receive the CCJ paperwork when i was unable to stay in my house because of the warrant?

It seems most debt collection agencies know when you have started making an effort to pay back debts. I have been able to agree reduced settlements or reduced monthly payments for some of my wife's debts, starting with the smallest and working upwards. It seems lenders that have made no contact in months previously are starting to threaten legal again and in one case , sending debt collectors to our house. I check our credit reports monthly through Noodle, Credit Score and also Check My File and decided to check our file also with Trust Online for any CCJs. No CCJs even on the Trust Online as at 30/08/16. My wife's latest report now shows a CCJ from 23/08/16 for a default that shes had a while. It was for a HP Car finance from Blackhorse She told them in 2014 that she's moved to husband's address and wanted to negotiate a way she could either hand car back or pay reduced amounts. I am self employed and was the sole earner. I was in hospital for quite a while after a motor accident and couldn't make payments on wife's behalf. Blackhorse decided to collect the car in the middle of the night rather than negotiate and wrote to her at my address (current address) that £480 owed. A period of two years, she has received letters from 5 debt collecting companies claiming that debt has been sold to them all at the right address. I feel the debt collectors have intentionally sent the CCJ to old address for £586 so that we will loose out knowing that it takes a month to show on credit reports. The courts claim a month has passed and said i could pay £255 to set aside but warned that the lender doesn't have to agree to a reduction of lump sum payment or monthly payments even after it's set aside. Can i get the debt company to agree to set the CCJ aside by consent so that i only have to pay £100 to the court and a full amount to them? Is there any point paying £255 + £586 for a debt of £480 that seems to have been intentionally sent elsewhere? I read also that the Court takes timing seriously, is it a disadvantage to contact the lender instead of complaining to the court first? Whatever happens , i don't want her to get a CCJ, not even a satisfied CCJ. Am i better getting it set aside and waiting for the response or is it easy to just get a judge to throw it out entirely since there's no justification for Blackhorse or any of the debt selling firms not to have my current address? If she's told the lender of her current address, lender has repossessed vehicle from the same address, lender has written to confirm debt sold at same address and five different companies have written to that address... Can i get the court to penalise their solicitor or perhaps even cancel the CCJ all together?
