  • Proving Bad Debt when debtor vanished

    I am in the process of appeaklling the level of council tax relief. The rules about bad debt say it must be proven to be counted. However that seems to involve issuing a county court summons. The debtor in question has not given a forwarding address and is now working on the cruise ships so there is no address to serve papers on . Is there any other way of proving the bad debt ?

    CPR 6.9(2)

    (2) Subject to paragraphs (3) to (6), the claim form must be served on the defendant at the place shown in the following table.

    (For service out of the jurisdiction see rules 6.40 to 6.47.)

      And then apply for a default judgement in his absence!

        Seems a bit odd as I have to serve the papers on an address where I know he isn't ie mine .

          Think like a bailiff. Just for a moment, abandon reality completely.
