Received notice of Judgment for Claimant (in default)
DIR By: drb72

---------------------------------------------------------
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)

I think your first step needs to be to contact whoever sent the
default judgement and ask them what’s going on. I wouldn’t pay
anything yet because this could be a route involving a lot of
money and difficulty to unravel.
The “content not viewable” is because imgur is now blocked in
the UK but wasn’t at the original time of posting.

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?

I just had a look at the pictures in the HMCTS thread using the
VPN. They’re the same as the letter I received.
Is there a recommend course of action?

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.

Ahh yes I see that now. I hadn't read those bits before. I've
redacted any potential identifying information from the form. Is
that what you meant by obscured? I removed the reference number
alongside anything else that I thought might be particular.
You said earlier in the thread that contacting whoever sent the
judgment but that wasn't completely clear to me. HCMTS sent the
judgment but were you referring to the people at DCB legal that
were acting for the claimant?

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.

Ok but the whole reason I started this thread was the fact
there's a sticky saying HCMTS are potentially sending erroneous
judgments to people.
My case is the first of the two options - receiving a default
judgment without having received a Claim Form - and the sticky
says to let the forum know. I'm doing that and asking for
advice on how to approach HCMTS in respect of a likely error on
their part in the hope someone will have encountered the same
situation before and have info they can pass on.
