Hi all,
This is my first post on the forum and as you advise I'm posting here for instruction on where to raise my issue on the forums.
It seems you've got a great site here and I'm sure I'll find loads of helpful information for my case.
I've had some issues with a bailiff company after losing (in absentia) a case in country court some years ago and subsequently having a high court writ for enforcement made against myself and my partner.
I've not exactly been on top of this, due to my health and my partner is not in any way inclined to look into this issue.
We've paid a large amount of money already and believe that both the original debt should now be cleared, and the stated bailiff fees have been covered and then some, but they still claim we owe them money.
I believe I've got good grounds to have the original county court judgement set aside, as well having a solid argument to pursue a detailed assessment hearing against the bailiff company.
My first question: As both myself and my partner were codefendants on the original county court filing, and original high court writ, can I personally (i.e. without her) file new court materials for having the original case set aside, as well as for the detailed assessment hearing? I am specifically concerned with not running the risk of my partner being liable for any new legal fees in the event that I lost any action that I started. What do you think?
This has been going on for a little while, and is something of a mess, if I go forwards I'm sure I'll be posting here for advice if that's OK, as well as typing up any outcomes in case my experience helps others.
Thanks!
