Have gone through the money claim online process and to a result of them admitting the claim ( all be it £56 less than claiming.

On the admission slip the money was promised to be paid on 1/11/2013 .....again hasnt been paid.

What should i do now ?

Make friends with your local farmer and borrow his shotgun.

This VERY question has just been asked on the LBC legal hour and this is exactly what the Lawyer said - so its another £100 to pay.

I'm sure you'll find that all these extra costs are added to the original debt so your late-paying client becomes liable for all the costs as well as the original debt.

One word of warning though and its this: IF somebody gets it into their head that the are not going to pay you then no matter how many orders, CCJs or what ever they have telling them to pay they will not and yo'ull be chasing them forever or until you give up.

They just move to a different area, change their name, open a bank account under the new name keep their heads down while amassing a nice new clean credit record and then start al over again.

YOU just need to know at what point you decide the debt is no longer worth pursuing because you can end-up throwing good money after bad.

I was lucky as in 12 years of business ( this was just one of the businesses I had ) I only lost about £2k and the bulk of that was when one customer went down and I had taken my eye off the ball. My credit control was s hit hot and my methods of collecting the debts was not entirely legal, but very effective !

Good lad!

I wasn't trying to pee on your bonfire there. . . I was just wanting to make sure you knew how these things sometimes pan out.

Yeah i know that mate , .... the person in question is a director of a ltd company , and ive recently spotted an ad for a limo driver to drive him about ....so they def aint short of the coin !!!

 

[Geordie Spark]

All the Ltd company means is that he is an employee of said company - even if he owns it !!



Think about that one for a minute .... If YOU are an employee and the company goes bust what happens to you? .... You lose your job right? But you're not expected to put your hand in you pocket and pay some of the company's debts are you ? NO you were just an employee.

So, what happens to this bloke when his company goes bust? .. That's right .. he's just an employee who loses his job pretty much the same as you and because all his savings / assets will be in his Wife's or Mother's name he has nothing to pay anybody with. He just walks away.

I think I would apply for the job, drive him somewhere remote, and kick the sh** out of him until he pays. Sorted!

 

[Octopus]

What does this company do/sell?

Could you "buy" something from them for the sum owed, and then when they chase for payment, simply pass them a copy of the invoice due to you and ask them to "contra" the 2 transactions?

[daiplayer]

ok....update

They have admitted they owe the money . but nothing else has come of it.

Im now in the proccess of issuing a warrant of execution. the fee to be paid is £100. But i cannot for the life of me find out how payment should be made. Theres no option on the MCOL site, and the phone number just tells me to download a guidance leaflet , which tells me JACK ...

aNY HELP ?

 

[Richard Burns]

From the moneyclaimonline quick start guide:
This states that once you have entered the warrant details then you click next for the summary page, tick the box and click next for the payment page.
I have not done this so it is just reading the help file, and you say that there is no option there so I may be incorrect. (see the bit in bold below)
Good luck.

13HRequesting a Warrant online

Step 1 - Guidance

Choose the “Warrant” option from Claim Overview page. This brings up a guidance screen,
including a warning that the warrant should be for a maximum of £5000 including costs.

Steps 2, 3 & 4 – Claimant / Defendant Address

Please follow the instructions outlined when entering judgment

Step 5 – Warrant Details

On the “Warrant Details” page the claim judgment figures will show in the top section. The
“Balance due at date of this request” box will already be populated with the judgment figure;
this should be amended to the current amount outstanding. You must then type in the amount you would like the bailiff to collect on the warrant. This amount cannot be more than the outstanding balance due on the judgment and cannot be more than £4900 as the system will not allow the warrant to exceed £5000 (including the warrant fee of £100).

At the bottom of the screen there is a box for “Additional Information” where you can provide any extra information that may assist the bailiff in the execution of the warrant. The additional information has a limit of 120 characters and the same conditions apply regarding punctuation as with the POC.

Steps 6, 7 and 8 – Summary, Payment and Confirmation

Select “Next” to move on to the “Summary” page. You will need to check all the details and
then tick the box to confirm all the information is correct and that you have read the guidance before signing the page.

Click “Next” to proceed to the payment screen.


What happens after a warrant has been requested?

When you return to the “Overview” screen there will be documents available to view confirming
the warrant details (including the warrant number and local court “foreign Court code/name”).
Once payment is submitted the information will take up to 2 working days to be processed by
the court. If the warrant cannot be issued, your request will be rejected and your fee will be
refunded.

The warrant will be sent to the defendant’s local court for enforcement and the local court
should provide you with updates (called “warrant returns”) on the progress. If the warrant
cannot be enforced, or if the warrant is paid, you will be sent a “final return” advising that
enforcement has concluded and the reasons why.
