Blunder in the County Court Judgement order on paper

[MarkJSW]

Hi All,
I have a bizarre situation.
I filed money claim against a company, I won the case. Judge order the company to pay me within 14 days and company has already paid.

The blunder is in the judgement on paper which I've received. By mistake it has switched who owes who.

It says that the defendant (company) should recover money from claimant (me).

How do I get this judgement order corrected?

Hopefully, that link takes you to Practice Direction 40. You want to read paragraph 4, as follows
Correction of errors in judgments and orders

4.1 Where a judgment or order contains an accidental slip or omission a party may apply for it to be corrected⁸.

4.2 The application notice (which may be an informal document such as a letter) should describe the error and set out the correction required. An application may be dealt with without a hearing:

(1) where the applicant so requests,

(2) with the consent of the parties, or

(3) where the court does not consider that a hearing would be appropriate.

4.3 The judge may deal with the application without notice if the slip or omission is obvious or may direct notice of the application to be given to the other party or parties.

4.4 If the application is opposed it should, if practicable, be listed for hearing before the judge who gave the judgment or made the order.

4.5 The court has an inherent power to vary its own orders to make the meaning and intention of the court clear.

So, write a letter. That ought to suffice.
It may help to speak to the court staff, if by some miracle you can get through on the phone. Or take the letter round and explain the point when handing it in.

Thanks,
I've already written letter and sent to the court by email and post.

I was also thinking of visiting court if this is not resolved by the letter alone however I'm not sure who to contact in the court in person?

I'd have just had a word with the staff on the counter when handing in the letter, but it will probably all be fine anyway. I have the advantage that my local court is only a couple of miles away.

Tx for reply, my local court it not far away either. I'll wait for another week, if they don't send anything then I'm going down there and get it sorted. It's mistake but it may go down the system as I'm the one having CCJ, bad stuff.

It's been paid, so you should notify the court it has been satisfied, anyway. This just gives you more incentive to do so! Satisfied CCJs don't go on your credit file.
