CCJ paid in full and they are still demanding more money from me

[Dippy888]

I had a CCJ for a parking fine and was never sent the claim forms to defend myself, so the judgement went against me. I therefore paid in full, within a week of the judgement, in order for it not to be on my credit record. Now the solicitors for the claimant - who I paid in full - are demanding yet more money. How can I stop them pursuing me? I can't owe any more than the court says, surely?

No you don't.

What are they chasing you for now?

( and you could have applied to set it aside if you never received the claim, but that's done and dusted now )

If they've written to you can you pop up a copy of the letter ( redacted) and the original judgment order ( again, redacted ).

I've heard of this happening before when Gladstones add additional costs to the judgement for their perceived additional expenses. No, all you have to pay is the judgement amount.

Thanks for getting back to me. Copy of the judgement attached. 2 letters arrived today, both stating: 'Balance Due £22.00. We write with reference to the above matter. We wish to discuss this matter further with you. Please contact us...... ' by phone or register on our site...
Neither of which I will be doing. Perhaps I will try the CAB tomorrow. I only paid because it was a done deal - no chance to defend myself and it costs I believe a further £250 to have it set aside.

[ostell]

Do they say what the £22 was for?

[Dippy888]

Hi Ostell, no I've quoted everything they say, above, and its the same case number. 2 letters both the same.

[Dippy888]

Perhaps I should add, after I paid the CCJ I had 2 letters from the court, both apologising for not sending me a claim pack, one saying the CCJ was removed and one sending a claim pack and saying if I had already paid I should respond anyway so they had a record of this. I sent them the copy of the CCJ and proof of the payment, but haven't filled in the claim pack - surely I'm not going to be taken to court again?
