Hello there,
Brand new to this website, have been referred here by my dad who speaks very highly of you
Would appreciate it if this could be moved to the relevant section, I looked but could not find a forum I though it fitted in
In a rather bad situation ... had a car accident 18 months ago, July 2014, motorcycle smashed into the side of me, insurances came out at a 50/50 result, I heard nothing for many months, end of December 2015 I had a letter from Hadleigh Claims Management Ltd, stating that the motorcyclist was now suing me personally for his injuries, but that I was "not to worry" and that they "would continue to defend me" and that if I receive "anything at all" to do nothing but send it directly to them to deal with.
31st of December I received a "county court money claims" form, which I sent immediately to Hadleigh Claims Managment, I sent it "signed" for 1st class post, I have check and the letter was signed for on the 4th of January a Mr G Drewitt at 10:29 in the morning.
Today I received a "Judgement for Claimant" letter from the county court money claims center stating that no Acknowledgement of Service had been filed so I the defendant must now pay the claimant an amount which the court will decide, plus costs !! there is a second page that states that the claim has been transferred to the County Court at Stafford following judgment being entered, on receipt the file will be referred to a judge to give case management directions !!
This all sounds horrendous to me and very much like its all said and done ? ... what on earth can I do ? ... I have no savings, no assets, all I have is my car thats worth 2 grand .. thats it !!
Is there any come back on this Hadleigh Claims Managment or can they simply step back from it ??
what happens if the judge orders me to pay him a fortune and I don't have it !!??
Any help with this matter would be massively appreciated, I'm literally bricking it here.
Thanks
