CCJ Redetermination and attachment to earnings.

[face990]

Hi I wonder if anyone can help.

I was taken to court by Varde investment ltd in February to which I admitted the debt. I received a CCJ for £3762.03, which i was ordered to pay in installments of £471 per month.

I could not afford this and applied for a redetermination within the 14 day period.

I was granted a redetermination hearing on the 29th February at which the Claimant did not attend.

The judge ruled that I should pay £73 per month begining the 31st March.

I have yet to pay any money to the claimant but have just received a notice of application for attachment to earnings, dated 5th March and have added a further charge of £100.

What shall i do next with regards to this? as I have had my CCJ redetermined and i am self employed.

 

Thanks

Andy

If your self employed then they are barking up the wrong tree with an AoE.

The Order has obviously been given in error Face990 you need to inform the court of issue.

 

What happens if I don't send the forms back?

 

You must send the form back to the court within 8 days. It is an offence not to send back the form or to give false information. If you don't send back the N56 form the county court bailiffs will serve you with an order to fill it in. If you still don't contact the court then you will be sent a notice to go to a court hearing to explain why you have not given the court the information requested. You must go to this hearing. If you don't attend then the court can issue a warrant for you to be arrested and brought to court or even send you straight to prison.

You can be sent to prison for up to 14 days or fined simply for not following the court's instructions to fill in the form and go to the hearing.

Warning: if the creditor knows your employer's address the court can go directly to the employer and ask them to provide details of your earnings if you do not return the N56 form to the court.
