Dear fellow Beagles,
I'd like some advice on setting aside a CCJ.
I had a CCJ filed against my name for failing to pay £300 for a storage lockup. The reason I had not paid the bill was that I had moved house and was not aware of the payment. I had previously responded to the letters by paying the bill each month and had not missed a payment previously. The email reminder went to a junk mailbox. The CCJ letters were also sent to the old house address.
As soon as I was aware of the CCJ (31/10/22) I paid it in full and satisfied the CCJ (31/10/22). After further discussions with the claimant they agreed that given the circumstances they would agree to set aside the CCJ 'with consent'. On 17/11/22 I submitted a N244 Application Notice form and paid the consent order fee with fee reference number attached (~£100). I provided supporting evidence in the form of a signed letter by myself and the claimant which I believed was enough for a consent order. The document included the statement 'the claimant hereby agrees to cooperate to consent and support the judgment issued DD/MM/YY be set aside'. Was this incorrect?
After not hearing a response from the court, I emailed twice to check up, latest (08/02/23). After not receiving a response I rang the court. They informed me that the consent order had not been completed correctly and that I could either pay the £275 to file the N244 or get the claimant to prepare a signed Consent order form and the re-submit. Speaking to the claimant they have asked me to send any forms that I want to be signed and so i'd like to prepare a proper consent order from for them to sign.
I've tried to be 'prompt' but things are dragging. Where can I find a template of a consent order form? Where have I gone wrong so far? Any advice/suggestions on how to proceed?
I have red Set Aside a County Court Judgment ( CCJ ) - LegalBeagles, and seen the 'witness statement' which seems like this could be what I need but i' not sure.
Thanks in advance!!
