Hi
Just hoping amongst hope someone can help.
Here's my problem. A limited company owed me money - I am an individual myself , not a company. Took it to the small claims court, other side never turned up, within 2 minutes judge awared a ccj against them. Chased the ccj via a high court enforcement officer. As the officer was siezing the computer etc, the director came up with the cash there and then. By that I mean he walked to a drawer and took the cash out.
During the statutory 14 day period the director has come back and said (via his solicitor), that the money belonged to him, and not the company therefore it needs to be paid back. The HCEO is now saying I will have to appoint a solicitor to sort this out, and send them a signed PF24 if I want to proceed towards an interpleader hearing to be heard in front of a Master of the High Court - what does that even mean? It also could prove expensive if I loose. The HCEO is saying that, in my favour, who has over £7k of your own money hanging around the office, therefore it seems like the cash pertains to the company but it is difficult to prove.
I did speak to a solicitor but they had never heard of an interpleader hearing - but again said who has £7k of your own money in a drawer in office premises.
I am totally at a loss what to do next. Just hoping someone can help as I am going out of my mind here. The HCEO needs an answer on Monday.
Many thanks for any advice
