I have recently had a ccj put against due to a ex partner claiming

Many thanks for that. Default judgements are relatively straightforward to set aside but it is important to move quickly to do so. The first step is to get a copy of the judgement if you don't already have it now so you know the details of the claim against you and exactly what it was for. You can contact the Northampton Bulk Court Centre to obtain details of where the judgment was made and obtain a copy of it. They can be contacted by the following link. From what yu say you may already have this or at least know enough to know the above details already:https://courttribunalfinder.service.gov.uk/courts/northampton-crown-court-county-court-and-family-court From there you will need to consider making an application to set the default judgement aside using form N244.You will need to give a statement explaining the position briefly and ask the court to set aside the default judgement on the basis that you did not receive papers because they were sent to the wrong address address and that you had a reasonable prospect of a defence briefly setting out what that is. You will need to explain why you are late in making the application to explain the delay. You will have to pay £155 fee with your application. http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/HMCSCourtFinder/GetForm.do?court_forms_id=484 You do not need to prove in your application that you are not liable for the debt or submit a full defence, but merely that you did not receive papers and have a reasonable prospect of defending the claim. Assuming the application is successful and courts are usually very willing to allow default judgements to be set aside the claimant will be back to square one, the entry on your company credit file will be removed and the claimant will have to have a hearing to establish your liability where you will have the opportunity to fully defend your position in court or alternatively if you accept the debt, pay it. At the time your application is made, any warrant for bailiffs will also be suspended meaning that any bailiffs will be called off. Time is of the essence with such applications. Providing you can demonstrate that you have not delayed the application from the point you discovered the CCJ unreasonably and you can demonstrate that you claim that you did not receive papers and that is why you did not respond to them, your application to set aside the judgement is likely to be received well by a court. this is the one aspect I am concerned about in that if you discovered the default judgement in January, approximately four months has gone by since the date you discovered the judgement and therefore you will need to be prepared to explain the reason for the delay because the court will expect you to take steps as soon as possible having discovered the judgement to set it aside using the above procedure if this is your intention. Unreasonable delays can be prejudicial though my hope would be that you would be able to explain the reason for the circa four months delay from the point of discovering the judgement to making the above application. I hope the above is of assistance?
