CCJ advice on proposed payment plan

[mids_biz_guy]

Hi Folks,

One of my Ltd's has won a county court case, and the defendant was given 21 days to make payment of just under £6000.00. They are a limited company, i do not believe they have any financial problems and have a stable business.

The whole process took almost two years of hell, significant finacial cost to myself and business.

They have put forward to pay over 9 months, as they say it is a substantial amount of money

The judgement was for monies due on works completed plus approx £1600 in court fees. The business was due the main part of this money almost two years ago, so dont see why i should wait

Can i say no, and request total amount is paid?

Secondly, the work completed but yet paid for until the county court judgement is paid has a works guarantee and electrical guarantee. Do i still have to hand them over, they were found in breach of contract.

thanks for your valued help in advance

all the best

Hi

yes you can reject the payment plan. On a seperate note if you need the CCJ enforced you can give I-Credit Enforcement a call on 01183 240338 - they helped me recover my ccj costs and the full balance after reposessing goods from the debtors house, and it only cost me £60.00 LOL

Yes you can, however the judgment debtor can apply to the Court to pay in instalments. Before saying No you might want to apply to the Court for the judgment debtors means to be examined by an Officer of the Court.

The outcome of this will determine the best course of enforcement action for you otherwise you could be throwing good money after bad.
