Hi,(posted 7987 days ago)Yes it was new to me until February this year!!!
hmc had obtained a summary judgement against me, so i had no option but to go to court to answer their I&E form. it was 7k against 56k.
below is a snip from an email from my solicitor:
"The HMC are able to call on some strange shipping precedents which are always quoted in debt chasing cases. The only way you can prevent them from continuing to chase you for the amount owed is if they agree to supply you with a Deed of Satisfaction, which they are very unlikely to supply. We have a similar case here with another building society who are also unwilling to provide such a Deed, although the client is offering a lump sum in full and final settlement. If they agreed to a Deed of Satisfaction it means they are agreeing not to pursue for the amount owed. "
anyway, heres the original link, if you want to have a read.
hth, avril
