why would a DCA agree to a ccj set aside?

[cj10]

We have applied for a ccj set aside, primarily on the grounds a successful defence would have been entered had we received the claim. (I outlined the defence in the set aside request).

The DCA's solicitors have written to the court, saying that their client, being the DCA, agrees to this request. Any idea why they would take this tack?

I was of the opinion the set aside would be strongly opposed! Should I ask the judge to strike out the claim at the set aside hearing, on the basis the claimant has made an implicit admission, in agreeing to the set aside, its claim is deficient.

 

Thanks

Costs of taking it further? No agreement?

Could be. I am concerned though they just want to be seen as reasonable by the DJ if (when) they subsequently pursue the claim. In all honesty, I really cannot fathom why the DCA would agree to my set aside request.

Well, in the absence of any other information, my guess would be that they don't have any evidence against you.

 

Have you made a CCJ or SAR request at all? If not, it may be well worth your while to do so.
