reciept of court claim im willing to settle

[Bean765]

Hi,

I have recently received a court claim and I am in a position to settle the amount in full as the details in the claim are correct and i do owe the money. Do I need to acknowledge the claim via the HMCS Money Claim Online or do I just contact the creditor to make the payment??

Thanks in advance for any response

You can pay the creditor and invite them to withdraw the Claim, or you can file an admission using the claims pack and then pay.

What are you looking to achieve here , thats the question?

If a judgment is made, then the CCJ only gets registered if the debt isnt paid within 28 days i believe.

Perhaps you could settle with a consent order? does the claimant have solicitors acting?
