Response to Charge on new house

from David J. Button (davidjohnbutton@supanet.com)
GO SEE A SOLICITOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

First off, they are after you for £28000 - how is that made up - can you contest it? Have they a county court judgment for the shortfall and costs etc.? Or are they just jumping the gun and going for the charge without a CCJ - the judge won't give them one automatically if you can show grounds for the amount being contested.

So far as the letters go - plead depression at the time. Go to court, armed with a solicitor if you can get one who will appear at short notice - apply for legal aid.

I am going to shout at you now:-

YOU MUST GO TO COURT - OTHERWISE THE JUDGE WILL GIVE THEM A CHARGE AUTOMATICALLY!

GET THAT APPOINTMENT BOOKED WITH YOUR SOLICITOR TODAY!

ALSO, GET IN TO THE LOCAL CAB AND TELL THEM THE STORY - SEE IF YOU CAN NEGOTIATE A LOWER SETTLEMENT FIGURE.

The finally, come back on here please and let us know how it all went off!

Best of luck

David
