Hi

I now live in the Channel Islands and am being threatened with a CCJ from a company in the UK to whom I owe money. My question is whether they can do this with me living in a different jurisdiction or whether they have to go through the systems of the place I am resident?

(Re the money, I do owe it - stupidly didn't change my address with them when I left and so was unaware that payments hadn't been made. Guess I have to take it on the chin and learn from mistake).

Thanks,

SG

They can take you to Court in the Channel Islands if necessary, we had to do this with a Channel Islands company who weren't paying us what they owed.

I don't understand how just because you moved house that you didnt notice that you weren't paying them?

Many thanks... you're a star! Really didn't know how it worked over here.

I was just silly and didn't change address with banks, etc . I should have had money paid into a bank account that wasn't and STUPIDLY just trusted it was happening. As I say, completely my fault and need to take it on the chin and learn from it.

Thanks for your help / answer.
