14:20 Today Caro.

Initial claim form was issued in March. Gave a time frame of end of May as advised by our lenders. A court letter requesting more information was sent in June and replied to stating things had progressed but still not to completion and passed on our lenders details. July we get a form stating a judgement was made in our absence. Applied for a set aside basically for additional time once more as this has turned into the longest loan arrangement process in history. At all times have stated we can only pay in full if this goes through which it won't if we get the judgement.

Sorry for the confusion I really am at a loose end here I really have no idea what i'm doing and I feel i'm going to make it worse.

On the basis of being a dependant. They made it clear they were going to tie the estate up until there was nothing left through legal fees and a settlement figure was reached if they decided not to go ahead with the challenge. They agreed to this and it was made clear to them that it would come from this funding being arrange to pay the estate debt of the house we live in and them. However now they have applied for a ccj and we have the hearing to have the judgement set aside tomorrow to allow us more time for said funding to be in place. They are opposing this, which frankly makes no sense as the funding would fall through and we would no longer be in a position to pay them in full. Our options are have the judgement set aside and pay in full once the funding arrives or the ccj stays and we have to apply to pay in instalments.

I appreciate your time thank you very much.

Just to clarify they did not contest his will they wanted a settlement.

That's correct

Hi, I'm not sure where to start with this I suppose first thanks for looking and I appreciate any advice you can offer I will be as brief as I can. When my dad passed 4 days after my step sisters mother landed on my door step demanding 50% of his estate which had been left to me in his will. I of course refused since she was an ex wife of approximately 20 years but my step sister (who dad hadn’t seen for years, but paid CSA till she was 18) said she had grounds to contest his will. My Farther also had an insurance policy for around £20,000. She wanted the lot but I was advised to offer her £15,000 to avoid going to court and she accepted. I was advised that dad’s debts come first so I used the money from the policy to clear some of them leaving a mortgage and few credit cards to pay off. After a lot of messing about getting buildings signed over it was finally late 2013 all buildings where signed over and in December we had the bank onto us saying that they would give us till April 1st 2014 to sort out the money for the house we are living in that my dad mortgaged for us or they would take it back leaving us homeless. We have been unable to secure a high street mortgage to pay the amount owing on the house and now my sister too. We did get the go ahead on bridging finance to cover the cost of the house pay my sister off and clear off my small amount of debt to be able to have a better chance at a High street mortgage to put me back on track. Which we are in the process of finalizing now. My sister (or her legal aid solicitor) has taken me to court for the £15,000 which is the main reason I’m here. The court suggested I apply to stay it. I’m unable to get representation as I really can’t afford it at the moment with everything else on my plate with the completion of the bridging finance close their solicitor has informed me that trying to stay it giving me a bit of extra time is doomed to fail and I should withdraw my request saying loan is imminent I have a stay hearing tomorrow and I have no idea what I’m going to walk into if its just talking to the judge or am I going to end up being bullied by a solicitor? Thanks again in advance for reading. Sorry she didn't contest the will this was a settlement she wanted and this hearing is because she couldn't wait and has applied for a CCJ this hearing tomorrow is to set aside the CCJ
