charging orders

[lloyd123]

Hi Im looking for some advice on charging orders, ive had 2 on my property one from 2004 and one 2005 on the land registry one says final and the other interim ( I wasn't even aware of this charge). I now want to sell my property but need to deal with these. Can I negotiate a settlement given the age of these or am I bound to pay them in full. Any help offered would be great

If you don't know what they are for then you need to find that out first as if you apply to have the judgements of these orders set aside and you successfully defend the claim they resulted from then you may not have to pay anything.

If not it's very unlikely that the Claimant will settle at a lesser amount, they have a charge on a house you are going to sell and would get the full amount. Where's their incentive to take less?

First order of business is to find out what they are for and then come back with the details to go from there.
