Hi can someone give this a once over? I am applying to get a CCJ set aside: Do I also need a Witness Statement?
I ask the court to make the judgment in this case (Claim No. XXX Judgment dated 31/10/2019) be set aside.
2: CPR 13.3 states (1) In any other case, the court may set aside or vary a judgment entered under Part 12 if –
(a) the defendant has a real prospect of successfully defending the claim; or
(b) it appears to the court that there is some other good reason why –
(i) the judgment should be set aside or varied; or
(ii) the defendant should be allowed to defend the claim.
3. I learnt of the existence of this claim on the 4th April 2021 when I Checked my Credit File
4. My address changed 19 April 2017 and a redirection service was in place through iammoving.com.
5. The debt in question was accrued in 2013 and was an electricity bill. The amount originally being demanded by Churchill Recovery was £2301.44. I have proof of 25 messages of myself and the debt collection company chasing a bill of £2301.44 which I was challenging as to its authenticity. I have these messages as proof, if required. Then contacted Spark Energy and they conducted a full review of my account.The review concluded the amount being demanded was incorrect and Spark Energy were at fault. I have email proof of this review and its findings (see attached evidence). The actual amount due was £757.15. A difference of £1544.29. I then set up a direct payment of £50 per month direct to Spark Energy to clear this debt. I made many payments over the next
few years until I had reduced the amount to approximately £200 owed. I called Spark Energy and agreed with them the remaining £200 should be waived (verbally on the phone). They had previously offered to reduce the amount to £600 (see attached exhibit A) so I thought it was a genuine offer:
On 16/10/2021 I made a written/telephone request to the Claimant/Solicitors inviting them to consent to set aside the judgment due to the reasons in paragraph 4.
7. The Claimant did not respond to my request.
8. I therefore respectfully request that the Court sets aside the judgment in this claim and allows 14 days for me to submit my defence.
