unknown Motortrades online advert bill CCJ - help set aside please

[busbysneedshelp]

had a CCJ against me granted 21/3/13

 

I was unaware of this until recently (mortgage app)

 

I requested details from the courts and was sent a copy of the claim form.

 

Read through the claim and realised what it's about.

 

I spoke to a salesman early 2013 who had cold called me about advertising my limited company.

I agreed to a free advert mock up rtf and if I was happy I would then sign agreements etc.

I never approved the advert in the end due to cost and projected return.

Claim was entered against me personally not the limited company.

 

I have sent a n244 to get it set aside.

I have received a response saying they have sent it to Birmingham county courts to be dealt with.

 

On further research it seems the company who brought the action against me has collapsed and as such I doubt there be a response to the application.

 

My question is

1. How would them not responding affect the application.

 

2. Should I need a defence what would be the best way to word it.

We have had lots of instances on this forum about this kind of fake advertising. Generally speaking you will find that they have scarcely any circulation and their alleged contracts are mainly invented.

 

If you look around the Internet, you will find that this kind of stuff has been featured in the media quite a lot and am pretty certain that there was something on the BBC recently about one of these companies failing and maybe even some prosecutions.

 

Please will you tell us the name of the company – or do you want to protect them? Also, I suggest that you post up the claim form in PDF format and a copy of the N244 that you used.

 

It's a pity you didn't come to us first.

 

However, I would say that the set-aside would be pretty well automatic if the company doesn't make any representation. If they have been wound up then they certainly won't respond and you shouldn't have any worries.
