I had a CCJ set aside in January - a pre 1998 student loan which I believe to be statute barred (there was a period of more than six years between the last payment made and the date the SLC submitted a claim to the courts). They are going to argue that I deliberately moved house a number of times to avoid them, and that they left it so long to 'give me an opportunity to pay.'
The case has been allocated to the Fast Track with a hearing on 19th July. My notice of allocation to the Fast Track lists a number of things that I need to do but I don't know what they involve. If anyone can advise I would be extremely grateful as I have tried to contact a couple of solicitors without success and I can't really afford much legal time.
I have to do the following:
By 5th April - give standard disclosure
By 12th April - request for copies and/or inspection must be made
By 26th April - lay witness evidence must be exchanged (I am my only witness)
Within 14 days of receiving Claimant's evidence and Schedule of Loss I must either agree or serve a counter schedule
By 24th May - pre-trial checklists must be filed
The bundle should be lodged 5 days before the trial date.
I'm not sure how much more information I can submit to the court as I don't really have any evidence other than to say that the debt is statute barred. The time period was confirmed by the SLC via the judge at the statute barred hearing.
With many thanks for your support.
