PPI and CCJ

[mimigb]

I would like some advice please. 

 

I did not know that I had PPI on my Capital One Credit Card and was made redundant back in 2007.  As a result of the redundancy I could not repay my loan and communicated this to the bank.  They in turn did not advice me that I had PPI that could cover the repayments until I was back in work. 

 

I left the country in 2013 as I had found a job in South Africa. Subsequently the debt was sold to Arrow Global Guernsey who wrote to me but I did not receive the correspondence. 

 

They then successfully applied for a CCJ and a Charging Order on my property. 

Upon my return to the UK I have been trying to resolve this and have requested another hearing to set aside the judgement as I was not in the country.

 

  In the interim Capital One have acknowledged they missold PPI and refunded me about £380.  With everything that I have found out upon my return, could I not argue that had Capital One informed me of the PPI I would never have been in the position I was and not had the CCJ, etc.  and shouldn't they reimburse me more than they have had?

 

Any advice gratefully received as my hearing is in mid-February and want to be well prepared even though I am being informed by Arrow's attorneys that I have no prospect of success and threatening me with applying to the court to have charges and interest attached to the existing CCJ debt.

 

Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to CAG

 

How much is the judgment for ?

I think with charges it comes to about £3800.00

Then they cant add post judgment interest or charges...as the judgment is below 5K

[mimigb]

thanks for the information, would be helpful to know what piece of law this is from.

 

[Andyorch]

County Courts Act 1984 and Senior Courts Act 1981

 

The County Courts Act and Senior Courts Act entitle all claimants to include a claim for interest at 8% per annum on any debt when issuing proceedings. There is no right to this type of interest unless, and until, a claim is issued.

 

The same legislation also allows you to recover interest at the rate of 8% per annum on any Judgement debt in excess of £5000. There is no statutory interest on Judgment debts of less than £5000.
