Court claim from Lloyds TSB - Advice needed please.

[questioning]

Hi Joan of Arc,

I would post a few more posts in this thread to get up to the five posts required.

You could say hi to me,then 42 man and then Andy, for starters.

[questioning]

Hi Joan,

I've been following your thread from the beginning, just like to say GOOD LUCK

Very helpful thread too.

You are extremely fortunate to have your partner helping you, two heads are always better than one. You know your case which is the main thing. I think you have a really good chance here.

Unfortunately although I have a very dear husband it is I that has to do all the swatting and then try and teach him. He picks things up easily and if I was going to court I would take him for moral support.

I may be wrong but I thought you could ask for permission to take someone to court with you and its usually agreed. You can talk to them but they cannot speak on your behalf. This is how I understood it.

I know you have asked permission for your OH to attend court with you,

Have you had a reply from the court about this?

 

PS. As for trying to work out who Joan is, (this applies to posts later in this thread, please don't take offence, none meant,) IMHO I hope such assumptions will remain private. If Joan ever wishes to reveal her books or identity to us then fine, if not i hope her identity never becomes a guessing game.

Well done Joan, Glad you found the courage to go through with it.

I don't want to overcrowd your thread with good luck wishes all the time, so please remember I'm thinking of you & wishing you success.

I'm glad to read that your OH was allowed to speak on your behalf, thats a real comfort knowing that.

Kind regards Q.x.

Ditto, I couldn't have written that better myself.

Kind regards To Joan and Joans hubby.

Love Q.x.

[questioning]

Not necessarily so, we have a legal charge on our property, I objected and the Judge said that the charge would only apply to my wife's half of the property !!! which is as good as taking my money as well as I see it.

 

But there would need to be a default on the CCJ for a charging order to be granted for the house. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Joan has not defaulted on the CCJ.

All she has to do is apply for redetermination to allow her to pay at a rate that she can afford, The court will only set a payment that she can afford and yes it is true, it is nothing to do with Mr joan at all, even if she had the debt last week, we are not responsible for our spouses debts.

[questioning]

Sorry Q,

I was not implying that they could go straight for a charging order on the house, what I was saying was about the charging order itself, and that the spouse could object.

 

Hi Mightyacorn,

Actually its my apologies that should be going to you,

I'm sorry I read your post completely wrong, I notice no one else did.

I am very tired today, I've been up all night.

Please accept my apologies.

kind regards Q. x.

 

Lets not talk of charging orders as that's not gonna happen.

The CCj could be paid by installments of an affordable amount set by the court after the redetermination, and as Mr. Joan said, that in its self is a kind of victory!

[questioning]

just make sure you get their payment details ASAP after the redetermination. ive had them be quite obstructive (ignoring letters,etc) in the past to ensure u miss a payment and then its.... CO next stop

 

Very true,

 

You have got to do the redetermination with in 14 days from judgment, Sent by special Del. obviously the sooner the better.

 

To pay the judgment the court will set a monthly date and you should then ask for it to be paid by standing order through your bank.

That way your payments will be made on time.

If they are obstructive then I would tell the court, court manager, in writing.

[questioning]

Joan here. I've just rung the court and the clerk and her supervisor are not aware of a redetermination order form per se. They're telling me that the order has not been drawn by the court yet, and that once it's been drawn it will be referred to the district judge to ask for directions. So I am meant to wait for the court to draw up the order, then I can tell them I can't afford to pay more than x amount a month.

How come this applies if the court clerks from the determination dept are not aware of a redetermination order form per se?

 

I'm very confused. Does anyone know exactly how I should proceed? Do I need a form? Does such a thing as a redetermination form exist? What do I do?

 

As far as what I've been told and my experiences, you can write a letter within 14 days of the judgement and tell them you can't pay, enclose your I & E and make an offer you can afford.

After judgement and if its later than two weeks you have to do it on a form and it costs £35.

If they got ccj by default then I think you have to pay a fee for the redetermination, you can't then write a letter.

 

,, I have just found a form from the court and it is an "Application for a suspension of a warrent and/or variation of an order" "N245," that is what the court sent me a year ago that is the correct name of the form.

i always thought it was called a redetermination form, I only ever looked at it once.

 

Sorry Joan that is what I have been informed from the court and been told by nat. debt line,

I'll flag up your post so others who may definately know can help.

 

I must say it seems that the court were not very helpful.

Flagged this up for Joan if anyone knows exactly how this works.?

 

This is the form that i am talking about called an N245, This is if a court has set an order and you cannot pay and you are applying after 14 days from judgment. Here is the form ..N245...n245_form.pdf......... Have a look here NationalDebt line England & Wales | Debt Advice | Factsheet 08 Reducing Payments Or Suspending A Bailiffs Warrant On A County Court Judgment

Edited April 21, 2009 by questioning

[questioning]

Thanks. To avoid confusion, do you mean form N245 as pointed out by questioning here?....

 

 

 

...oooh they're talking about bailiffs in that link. I hope it doesn't come to that. If it does I have a pile of jam rags ready and waiting, signed by the author (some in blood, some in ink.)

 

 

Thanks questioning and supasnooper, very useful advice and I will get onto it. I'm sure Mr Joan will be on here at some point during his coffee break to add his tuppence ha'penny wth as well.

 

Just to clarify.........

 

The form I have attached and the link provided are if you have been paying and want to re determine the amount you are paying. It would cost £35 to use this form.

 

After you receive judgement you can write a letter under CPR rules (with in 14 days of receiving Jt.) as posted above and ask for a redetermination, this will not cost any fee.

 

I have no idea if JGJ means this form, i doubt it as he calls it by a different name and says it doesn't have a fee to pay. I don't know what this form is sorry,

[questioning]

joan of arc,

 

My post #337 is exactly as I stated, I have the form in my hand looking at it now, N24 Notice of DEFENDANTS APPLICATION FOR REDETERMINATION. Successfully applied for and a REDETERMINATION obtained. Best of luck.

 

"EXEMPLO DUCEMUS"

 

Well done JGJ,

Is this a form you use at anytime once you have received your judgment as I see that their is no fee to use it?

I'm just interested to know and its helpful for others too.

So far I know the CPR letter has to be done within 14 days after receiving judgment & no fee obviously and N245 can be used at any time after that and has a £35. fee.

 

I find the lack of information from Joans county court appalling, this info is readily available if you google so whats up with that court, they must know, to say they have no idea is dreadful. The court is supposed to explain procedure and tell you about forms available.

They didn't look solely at my OH income, they took mine into account as well.

 

Hi mightyacorn,

I hope this will make sense,

I had the information straight from a lady who actually goes through the enforcement of debt forms at court.

on my form it asked for my husbands income and mine plus benefits and anything else anyone gives you.

then it said expenses....only include what you pay from your income.

She said to do as the form said and just write, if I wanted to, that all other living expenses ie. morgage/rent etc. were paid by my husband.

I said why do you ask for my oh's income when he is not responsible for my debt?

She said don't worry we ask what your spouses income is but we then subtract that figure (his income ) so in effect it is not included because it is not his debt.

 

Mighty acorn, Was the reason that they took your spouses income into account because you had no income?

If so that means that if one has no income then the OH is liable for the partners debt.

That is the only conclusion I can come to regarding this and your post.

In that case it was a good thing for me that I only work part time.

Doesn't help Joan though.

I googled what happens if you have no income and cannot pay a CCJ.

I found an answer concerning setaside but I won't comment on that as i didn't look into it just a quick google.

 

If I were you Joan I would ring National debt line, I have always found them to be most helpful.
