Companies House CCJ and Late Filing CCJ

We regularly deal with Companies House CCJs. If you have a Companies House CCJ, have grounds for the CCJ to be set aside and you require our services, we will contact the Companies House’s Solicitors and mediate a settlement on your behalf or draft you a settlement in order for you to agree this.

This agreement is known as a Draft Order and if it is agreed, it enables the Court (subject to the Courts approval) to remove the judgment. Once signed by all the parties (you and the Companies House) this would need to be submitted to the Court and you would need to pay a Court fee in the sum of £119.00 in order for the Court to review the agreed Draft Order settlement.

Once the Court fee has been paid, the Draft Order would be placed on the Court file and referred to a Judge. There is no hearing with the Draft Order and everything can be sent to the Court via email. The Court however would usually respond to you via post. Once approved, the Court will send you the stamped/sealed Court Order, approve the terms of the Draft Order and remove the CCJ.

If for some reason the Companies House does not agree to the Draft Order then the only option you would have to challenge the CCJ would be by filing an N244 Application to set aside the judgment. We can assist with the drafting of the Application and a Witness Statement to support your grounds and your evidence. The Court fee for the N244 Application is in the sum of £303.00. Once this has been paid by you, the Court will list your Application for a hearing (which you must attend either face to face or over the telephone) where the Court would decide whether the CCJ will be set aside against you based on your grounds and the evidence provided.

© 2022 ARK CMCS. Disclaimer | This statement is to explain our status in offering to provide you with support services. Although we are qualified Paralegals, we are not entitled to practise in the same way as a Solicitor or Barrister. Therefore, in providing any Litigation support services to you we are not acting as a Solicitor or Barrister and we are not subject to many of the rules which regulate practising solicitors or barristers. This limits the services we can provide to you. We can provide you with legal assistance (as a Litigation Friend) and can arrange representation for you before certain Tribunals and in the Small Claims Court, but we cannot exercise rights of audience in Court, meaning that we have no automatic right to represent you in any open Court without the express permission of the Court. However, we are able to assist you and guide you through the Court process and help you complete Court documents. We aim to provide you with excellent service and if you have any concerns about what we do for you, please let us know and we will try to resolve any problems. But you should know that you would have only limited rights to complain about us to anyone else. The Legal Ombudsman, which can adjudicate on complaints about poor service by practising Barristers and Solicitors, cannot consider any complaint against us because we are Paralegals and therefore, this is beyond their remit.
