Hi Everyone, About 11 years ago i lost my job, I had a nervous breakdown and my house was repossessed, and I ended up owing the building society about £25,000. There was no way I could make the payments. With my family we stayed here and there, until we got back on our feet, and finally we bought another house, but never heard of the building society, partly because we moved about, and they probably didn't know where we were. just recently, we had a notice in the post from the court saying we owed a debt of £25,000 and we have 14 days to respond, otherwise a ccj would be added by default. I am panicking, because we have just build our lifes, and this would destroy us again. It would mean that a ccj would also put our lifes on hold for 6 years. Can anyone please help me, on how I can avoid or stop this situation. We were thinking of moving and renting somewhere else, and renting our own property to someone else. Would they still be able to issue a ccj? I have read the notes with the notice, but they just point to a ccj being added anyway. Any advice would be helpful.
