Hi there,
In April 13' a ccj was awarded against myself for rent arrears at my previous address. I did admit to some arrears but had paid 2 months rent in cash to my ex ll and am still waiting for the receipt. Very stupid, but I had no reason to doubt this man at the time.
My ll took me to court for three months arrears and won. I had no way of proving what I had paid apart from the amounts being drawn out of my bank but the judge didn't accept that.
My ll did not serve me with Prescribed Info until April 2013, the ast started in March 2010 and although my mother paid half of my deposit, my ll didn't give her the Prescribed Info either. He refuses to accept that she paid half the deposit even though he took it from her and his wife was present. She also has a receipt from him that all 3 of us signed. The deposit amount was altered when I paid my half and was given another receipt. As my mother wasn't present then, she didn't sign it. This is what he is going on as his 'evidence' that it was only me who paid the deposit.
Long story short...we hadn't heard anything from him since April (after we had requested certain documents relating to the tenancy and deposit...unsuccessfully) and thought he had gone away as we had told him any further action would result in proceedings being brought against him for the Prescribed Info error. One months rent was paid to him out of my deposit and I was happy with that as I did owe it. I was recently awarded a DRO and the remainder of this debt was included.
Last night my mother had a visit from a HCEO who didn't give a name, shouted through her intercom that I was subject to a DRO and she was liable for the remainder of the CCJ. She didn't let him in, and told him to put everything in writing.
I have spoken to the Royal Court of Justice this morning and they have no record of this on their system. My local Court have said that my ll has had the CCJ transferred up to them, however they know nothing about it. My local Court were not aware that I had been granted a DRO either yet the HCEO knew.
They have advised me to call Sherforce but I would just like some advice first on their powers, whether we are able to stop any further action or basically what's the best option from here?
Thank you
