CCJ's and Warrants of Execution

[babsefc2002]

I hope someone can help me here.

 

The firm I work for received a County Court Summons for non payment of an invoice - this actually crossed with the payment being sent (our supplier was being very eager). We then received a CCJ for the costs which we immediately paid. 4 weeks later we have received a Warrant of Execution for the costs plus an extra 45 quid. I have spoken to the the solicitors dealing with this and they said although they are aware of receiving the original costs we still have to pay the extra as the Warrant of Execution was issued at the same time as the CCJ.

 

Do we have to pay this if we paid the CCJ straight away?

Think you will need to get a form filled in to have the warrant set aside.

 

This gives you the opportunity to put your case forward detailing your objections and a defence.

 

There is a charge for this but its worth going for.

Once you have lodged this with your county court any recovery action is suspended pending your hearing.

 

You should do this ASAP there is a downloadable form on the web I will post the link for you.
