I have 2 ccjs with charging orders that I am up to date with. I had 2 letter this week from Reston’s (who have them both). I am a bit confused about their approach. I have 2 queries.
1. On debt 1 the balance is now about £1800 and I pay £10 per month as the court ordered. Reston’s wrote to me to say they can settle for 50% if I pay by 19th November - this is not going to happen as I don’t have the money - but my query is: if I was to settle this what would happen to the charging order? I understand you have to have watertight confirmations that they are not going to sell the debt on further - but I’m assuming I can get that if they have offered terms to me (rather than me asking them) but will they remove the charging order?
2. On debt 2 the balance is about £900 now (about half the original debt) and I pay £65 per month. They wrote to me to ask for a financial statement stating that if they do not receive the information by Wednesday they have “advised their client to enforce the judgement debt by way of control, whereby a bailiff will be instructed to recover the sum due or levy in goods to the value of the warrant”. I have sent the information as requested but I’m wondering if they have the legal power to do this based on my not sending the figures - especially seeing as the court accepted my offer and I am up to date - wouldn’t they need to go back to court to enforce further action?
any info would be great - thank you in advance
