Question: What does having a Judgment against me mean exactly?
Answer:
In the event that a Judgment is given by the Court against yourself, or your company name, following the service of a Summons and payment arrangements have not been forthcoming or no contact has been made then your Credit Rating will be affected, moreover, if you do not make any payment propsals to settle the debt, the Court Costs and the Interest then the Judgment gives the Viscount the authority to arrest your wages or to liquidate your assets.

Question: Do you think I should get the help of a Debt Management Agency?
Answer:
A word of caution. Debt Management Agencies are there to make money and by using their services they will be making money from you, whereas you could be using that money to reduce your debt. Your creditors are not obligated to deal with Debt Management Agencies as their repayment offers generally are not proportionate to the debt owing, and furthermore, they do not have to accept the re-payment proposals and therefore you could still have a judgment taken against you.

Question: I have setup a Standing Order will SkyFall cancel it when I have paid?
Answer:
Once you have paid in full it is your responsibility to cancel the Standing Order. SkyFall are not able to instruct your bank for you. We will let you know when you need to cancel the Standing Order and you must do this as soon as we tell you.
