Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hello

I read the thread on HMCT issuing CCJs incorrectly and I think it applies to me. DCB legal have been sending letters before claim and I've responded to those within 30 days and in the last exchange in March/May I told them they had still not given me the information I requested and that they needed to so I could prep my defense.


The last date from them was March, the last reply from me April, within the 30 days, and nothing until today when a CCJ default judgment falls through my letterbox.


I can't tell if its the same as the example in the sticky because the picture in that thread says 'content not viewable in your region' (accessing from UK).


I haven't ever received any notice of a claim being raised in the courts in the first place, it was only letters from DCB legal. Never any MCOL, nothing, just the judgment today.

Is the best course of action paying then applying to set aside or raising the lack of an actual claim raised?  Is it possible DCB applied for judgment in default despite my being in touch with them more than once (I received acknowledgment emails to each of my replies so I have the paper trail)

The judgment was sent by HMCTS.  Did you mean contact the lawyers or the courts?

I don't want an erroneous judgment being entered in the open register of course.  The letter date is a few days ago.  I'm presuming there's a period where payment can be made prior to any appeals to make sure that enter in the register doesn't happen?

As per the read me first sticky, post up the docs you have received.

Within one month of the date on the form, which you have obscured for some reason. It says this on the form you have posted.

If you think the court got it wrong, follow the instructions on the form and contact the court. DCB Legal has nothing to do with it.

This does seem like a court error rather than a failing on the part of the claimant. An application to set aside would be wise. Might be worth phoning the court if you can get through to someone, to highlight the issue and see if there's a way to go about it without having to pay a fee (albeit you could seek to get the fee back).

I have received a similar letter today from Court within a same A4 page saying judgement has been passed ( by default)
I received the claim form and then replied to it using money claim online website. Even that website shows reply was sent to them and then it shows a judgement passed today which is not clear to me if its the next course of action or is that sent in error to me?
