Hello,
I posted a while ago about a CCJ my wife had received and our efforts to get it set aside - essentially the parking fine documentation and all court paperwork was sent to a previous address so none of it was ever received. We put in (what I think is) a solid defence, draft order, N244 form etc and sent it off to the County Courts Money Claims Centre and gave our new address on the form as the one to send documentation to.
We hadn't heard anything for a while so my wife called up today and has been told that all of the paperwork has been sent to the address that we moved out of years ago and the file has gone to a court in a different part of the country. They were thoroughly unhelpful and said that it was no longer something that the CCMCC could sort out and we would need to contact the other court to sort this out but would have to wait five days before we contact them.
I have no experience of the court system so my question is whether there's a chance that there's going to be a letter containing a court date already heading to an address we have no access to (which is what got us in this situation in the first place!) Or is this not really an issue and just an annoying hurdle that can be dealt with in due course?
My worry is that we're going to miss the next court date and the court will presume we just didn't turn up when in actual fact we haven't received any correspondence.
Thanks for your help as always.
