Judgement For Claimant

Answer 3

You need to return it back to the court stating you dispute the debt with a clear reason why. The courts then pass your reply back to the creditor who in turn has to explain and answer your query why there is a debt, there reply is then again sent to you which should make the case clearer and if there is still a dispute you may have to attend the courts this is when you may then seek legal advise. Do not ignore it if you do the creditor will return the claim form as not contested and you will then receive a judgement giving you 30 days to pay and if the full debt is not cleared within this period you will receive a CCJ, good luck.

Judgment For Claimant

Answer 5

Some credit agencies send documents purporting to be Court docs that are really not, so check carefully. If you didn't receive any documentation before, you can apply to have judgment set aside. You must act quickly though. Court staff will be able to help.
A "judgment for the claimant for money" is the same as a CCJ ("County Court Judgment") and can affect your credit rating.

Answer 6

Assuming it's a genuine court document then it means that you have been taken to court, have not filed a defense and the claimant has therefore won and can now pursue you for payment using court appointed bailiffs etc etc.
You should talk to the court in quesiton first thing tomorrow and try to clear it up - you may be able to appeal on the grounds that you were not advised it was taking place. Good luck.

You are not able to sue a Court (or Judge) for exercising a judicial function (setting the judgment aside).You cannot "sue" the Cliamant either over the false address.When a Court sets a judgment aside it usually just sets it aside and the claim proceeds as before.Sometimes if the other party has incurred unneccessary legal costs after the original adjustment the Court might order those costs to be paid to the "innocent" party but those costs will not cover inconvenience or distress.In any case if no order has already been made without an order for costs then it's too late .

Answer 8

Call the person listed on the judgement. Do you know the claimant? If you owe the money, you will have to pay it despite the fact that you claim you didnt receive anything.

Answer 9

well dear, it seems you owe someone money and they went to court to get the money. Now, If i was you, I'd call the court and see what's going on. I'm smelling a garnishment. They had to have something that said you owed money. Bad part is, I also smell an attorney in this. You need someone who can dig and find you answers. I'd call the court and get the 411 on this. See what it says.

Answer 10

It could be a scam. Call the court clerk that issued the order and verify that it is authentic. They will also have records of how and by who you were served.
