Can anyone tell me about Statutory Demands under the Insolvency Act 1986

[mumisskint]

Hi, Can any one help?
Ive been served with a statutory demand under the insolvency act on Friday. Its for a sum that I am disputing. The creditor sent the paper work to the wrong address so I didnt know a CCJ had been issued for it until the court sent the paperwork to the right address to say that they had agreed the CCJ. I filed an N244 to ask for it to be set aside on the grounds of the dispute. I had to complete an EX160 for fee remissions and Ive just sent back the additional evidence they asked for for HMCS to assess that application. The debt is £50k.
I plan to :
a) contact the court on Monday to find out how long the assessment above with take?
b) send an email to the creditor to tell them the contents of the N244 and why I am disputing the CCJ.
c) send the same info to the court that is dealing with the statutory demand in the hope they will put it on hold.

Is this the right thing to do? If not what should I be doing? Will they make me bankrupt if the court dont accept the paperwork. I have nothing so they are fighting a losing battle on the score.

When did you file the n244 and when was that stat demand served on you ?

Youll need to file to set aside the stat demand within 18 days of service

Put that you were not aware of the judgment, the original debt is in dispute and the details of when / how you applied to set aside the ccj

info from gov.uk and link to form below


Download and fill in form IAA.

Make 3 copies of the completed form and either post them to the court named on your statutory demand or give them to the court in person. What happens next

You’ll usually hear back from the court within 10 working days of applying.
