Yes, IIRC it's an £80 application fee for the hearing, and (unless she asks for your consent) she'll need to actually go to that court hearing to get it set aside.

You need a reasonable reason for non-compliance though. If she's more than days late, and barring a family member dying etc or her being in hospital, then she'd likely stuffed.

My guess from the start was she's a 'head burier'. They might have fits and starts of enthusiasm, but when something starts to get out of control, they just try to forget about it.

The next act will be she'll get a judgment in default against her. She'll get a copy the same day you do in the post.

If she pays that within 30 days, she can apply to the court to get the CCJ removed. If not, and even if satisfied later, it'll stay on public record for 6 years.

What I would do, is to ensure that she is aware of the above, is when the paperwork comes through, write to her with your bank details and promising to confirm the receipt of payment so she can get the CCJ removed.

After 30 days, there's not much impetus to pay you.
I am getting that impression. Considering it was for such a low amount - why would anyone want a CCJ for a couple of hundred quid. At one point before all this I asked her to settle with me by paying back half the money and she refused.

The worst thing is that she was a young girl trying to setup a business (actually asked me for advice!) so this could cause her all kinds of problems.

An update.

Out of the blue one the people who knows us both phoned me up and said the cash was ready to be collected. Printed off and signed something to say it had been paid and collected the cash with the court fees.

Now should i let the court know, or leave it up to her, considering the battle she started and now lost.
