Statute Barred

[citizenB]

Pretty much what others have said..

 

 

There may well be a judgment....but checking 1996 will not be easy.....and even if so they are still barred because....

 

An action cannot be brought on any judgment after the expiry of 6 years from the date it became enforceable. The term “action” only applies to the commencement of fresh proceedings on a judgment, it does not include enforcement proceedings so, strictly speaking, for enforcement purposes and enforcement proceedings, no limitation period applies. However, any delay in enforcement on the part of the judgment creditor will affect any award of interest as recoverable interest is limited to 6 years on a judgment that is executed after the expiry of the 6 year period.

 

Court permission is required to enforce a judgment debt that is more than 6 years old. In a particular case of Warrants of Execution, these must be renewed after 12 months if they have not been enforced. Further, the court is entitled to take account of delay and enforcement when exercising its discretion to grant any Order sought.

IMHO, your best bet is to insist that Erudio provide evidence of the Judgment and how they managed to obtain it when you were never notified and you haven't been in hiding

.

 

 

Erudio didn't exist in 1996, a point worthy for later readers to note

They didnt state they did exist...just that an action was brought dated 1996

 

"We confirm that an action was brought to this matter within the relevant period, and that judgment was entered against you in the county court on 20 Nov 1996 in the sum of £1509.25."
