Form N244 Or ?

[cassa333]

Hi,

I gained possession of my property 12th Aug (yayyyy) via a possession order (11th Aug). Not the same one as the CCJ I have against them as they are two different claims.

There was a money order attached to the possession order as we'll for unpaid rent.

Obviously they haven't paid or been in contact so I now want to escalate to the high court for enforcement.

Rather frustratingly I can't find the letter that came from the court confirming the order and money claim. I do know the case number as I have the previous paperwork.

A. Which form do I need to use to get the high court enforcement.
B. Do I have to have the confirmation letter from the court? And if yes will they give me a copy?

Thank you

you might have to ring the court on this one
I filled out a form and included the CCJ
and got a letter saying it had been converted to a sheriffs case

[new use for an old writ called fi.fa - fieri facias]

the court officials are quite helpful in this

£10 for a copy of the judgement.

I think I might use that link Chris. I need them to prove what they are saying. Not just flimflam the court as they have done already.

Phew I found the form lurking in a 'safe place'. The folder I had everything else in doh.

I am not sure which way to go at the moment.

Although I am resigned to either not getting my money back or it taking 20 odd years at this rate I simply don't want to make it easy for them to forget they are responsible for this.

I have one CCJ against them at £20 a month (16 years to pay that off + any redetermination costs that will be added over time) and another that was awarded at the possession hearing.

At the CCJ redetermination hearing the judge suggested to them, at my request, they give me the information on their hire purchase/finance agreements and their council tax arrears. As yet they haven't but they might do.

Sooo with the second money order from the possession hearing that they have ignored, what would be a better course of action? Straight to Sheriffs or ask the court to make them give me the information.

Much as the 'nasty' bit of me would like to see you send the bailiffs in, you probably wouldn't get much money from doing so. For instance, if the bailiffs took a telly that cost £500 it might only sell for something like £80 at auction (because potential buyers wouldn't know whether it was fully working or not). If the auction room takes 15% that only leaves £68 but the bailiff's fees would then have to be taken off, possibly leaving you with less than £50 from the sale of their telly.

Putting them through the inconvenience of having to attend court to explain their financial situation might be a better idea, as it would at least give you some idea of the best way forward from there.

So, if it's actually getting some money back that you're really interested in, force them to attend court. If it's simple revenge for all the hassle that they've caused you that's your real priority, send the bailiffs in!

Hmm I am really conflicted but I could do both NJ ;-)

Court to give details of income etc that I know they have told a porky or two and later when they inevitably default send in the bailiffs.
