Description
Experience Level: Expert
Legal topic: Contract
Description of legal work: A county court claim has been sent to my old company registered address which is for £7000. on 5th April. I was unaware of this claim until today as the registered address is just a forwarding address and the documents were only forwarded to me today.
The company was dissolved on the 18th of April and hadn't traded since January. I had informed the supplier of this in writing in January with a letter from the company's registered address
The supplier claims I am personally liable and has issued proceedings but without my knowledge by using the company address which is totally unconnected with me personally.
The deadline for acknowledging this action passed on the 19th of April (14 days after service) which means I am at risk of a default judgement.
I need a good advisor who can advise me what I need to do at this point and to contact the court on my behalf to try to get this resolved. Is this claim a valid claim if I am not connected personally to the address? I am happy to defend the claim if required and if I do, will require your help with the documentation and defence preparation.
