If you are saying that the signature of the seller has been forged you should report this to the police, particularly if you think the solicitor was involved. There are requirements laid down where a solicitor acts for both the buyer and a seller in a conveyancing transaction to avoid a conflict of interest. You might want to call the SRA helpline on 0870 6062555 for advice on this. Finally, as a matter of law, a mandate to pay money to someone where the signature is forged is essentially a worthless piece of paper and the person who paid out on this is still liable to the original party. i.e. the solicitor is still liable for the sum deducted. Good luck.

Send him a signed letter along the following lines: "Dear Sir, I refer to my two previous letters and to which you have not replied. I am writing to you for a third time as requested. Kindly note that unless I am in receipt of your substantive response by the close of business on XXXX, I shall be filing a complaint with the Solicitor's Regulatory Authority without further notice. Yours etc..."

I would suggest you call the solicitors and ask for the name of the complaint handling partner. Write to him or her requesting a full explanation advising that your next port of call absent a prompt and satisfactory response will be the SRA.

It is my understanding that CCJ's are not enforceable after 6 years without first obtaining leave from the court, which is usually only granted where the creditor can show a good reason for not taking action sooner.

The creditor with the charging order will become first charge holder.

Your interest is "charged" - basically that is your equity after deducting any outstanding mortgages. The original lenders are still first in line. The charge is also registered against the title at the Land Registry. The Judgement Creditor can then apply for an Order for Sale, few actually do. Most just wait until the property is sold at some point in the future, when they will receive payment from the sale proceeds after the existing lenders and before yourself.

They won't need to send you another demand. If they decide to take it further, the next document you'll see is a bankruptcy petition, which trust me, you want to avoid. There is a Citizens Advice Bureau located with the RCJ - you might want to take what you have and go and talk to someone there. Alternatively, their telephone number is 0844 856 3534 .

They don't have to file the demand with the court - once the 21 days after service is up they have four months to present a petition after which time the demand is deem stale. Have you not file a set aside application though?

- That's exactly what these clowns want. DCA's have no special legal powers, and rely upon victims feeling pressured from threatening letters and other forms of harassment from their brain dead call centre zombies. I wouldn't give them the steam off my p**s, far less £200 unless they first prove the claim was valid.

Exactly - and if they don't produce it you can consider the matter closed.

Forms 6.4, 6.5 and copy of the demand is all you need!

No self-respecting is going to get involved with PPC invoices. As for Mr Butcher's grandiose job title, the only fraud going on here is their trying to con your brother out of £140. They can't issue a warrant of execution until they have first issued a claim, the judge has ruled in their favour, and your brother fails to pay with the period ordered - normally 14 or 28 days. No-one should ever, ever pay these parasites.
