Wrongly issued CCJ ?

[Trebor21]

I recently received a Court claim relating to a credit card company who I was in dispute with. I responded to the court with my defence This was duly accepted by the court. I was then offered Mediation to arrive at a settlement with the creditor - avoiding costly court time. The forms for mediation were received dated 18th January with a return date of 4th February 2021. On 21st I received a CCJ from Northampton dated 20th January. Clearly there is something seriously amiss. I would ask can I now counter claim for the cost of setting aside and costs associated with devaluation of my credit rating

Is there any other forms that have not been returned, such as the directions questionnaire?

Call the court and ask what happened. This is the second time I've heard of something similar to this happening this year

[Trebor21]

All forms are up to date and correct procedures have been followed. I am really annoyed that I have received a CCJ . I will speak with the court tomorrow to establish how this mistake has occurred. What recompense can I expect. I certainly don’t feel I should be paying £255 to have the judgement set aside. If the Court has made the mistake - which I think is the case - I expect them to cancel the judgement without any further action. I can then proceed with the mediation as originally planned

Can you login online and see what is happening?

[Trebor21]

Sorry, I’m not familiar with that process . Is that the court login?

[ostell]

The details and password on the claim form?

[Trebor21]

Thank you. I’ve now accessed the current online status. It says
DQ received by the court 18/01/21.
DQ sent to defendant 18/1/21.
Judgement issued 20/1/21.

I received the DQ on 21/01/21 with a return date of 04/02/21 So not returned as yet. The offer of mediation was made by the court which I am willing to accept . However, this option has been circumvented. What recourse do I have?

[ostell]

Yes, get on to the court to ask what is happening.

[Trebor21]

Thank you. I will update as soon as I have spoken with the court. BTW has anyone else experienced this situation?
