No, only verbally. I did say at the hearing that I wasn’t in the UK, but even so, I am no longer a resident in the EU nor in the UK. What’s your advice on what I should do?

Thanks guys, Dx, the hearing happened and I attended remotely, but unfortunately the judge considered I shall pay. As I am out of Europe now, is this debt enforceable? What is the worst that could happen? To be honest, as I said, I don’t have any assets, but I think I am more worried about the stress that comes with the whole situation. Credit doesn’t really bother me as I don’t plan to move back to UK, will probably only visit as a tourist. When the deadline for the payment arrives, if I haven’t settled or gotten an agreement, what will happen?

Hello all, My business went into liquidation and a creditor applied for third party cost order against myself as sole director for the amount of £4000. Just to clarify, I no longer live in the UK but I gave the court a friends address in the UK for correspondence and I kept in touch with the court by phone so I wouldn’t miss on the hearing date (it was probably a bad idea to do this). The cost order was granted and I am now asked to pay the amount; I have no assets or savings anywhere in the world and I am out of employment. Lastly, the creditors were aware that I was in a European country but I am now living I out of Europe at a friends couch - trying to get back on my feet. I really can’t afford to pay for the full amount and I somehow feel a little worried even though I don’t have a penny to my name. I asked the creditor if I could pay by installments (maybe I would be able to do £200 per month if my mate borrows me the funds until I get a job here) but I am not sure if they will accept it. Any advice on what’s the worst scenario that could happen if the deadline for payment comes and I haven’t settled or gotten an agreement? Does this mean I have a CCJ? Thanks guys
