As a law firm, Moriarty Law believe in clarity so if there is any question about the legitimacy of the amount owed, we are happy to investigate any concerns raised.

We use ‘Alternative Dispute Resolution’ at each stage of our instruction and invite you to send to us any documentation you believe will assist in dealing with your query. For example, if you believe the debt has been paid previously, providing Moriarty Law with evidence can aid in investigations when referring back to our client.

We have provided the information as set out below in order to give you further details on how to dispute a case at each stage of the legal process.  

Moriarty Law recommends that you seek your own independent legal advice. 

·         Not In Court / Pre Litigation – Please Contact Us to discuss, we are happy to provide all additional information we may hold in relation to the case, we can advise of and investigate any queries where necessary and provide documentation as required.  The Pre Action Protocol response pack sent alongside our first communication, gives full details of how to raise with us an account query.

·         County Court Claim Issued – Please Contact Us to discuss, we are happy to provide all additional information we may hold in relation to the case, we can advise of and investigate any queries where necessary and provide documentation as required OR respond to the Claim Pack (sent direct from the County Courts) which includes a response pack. Please note that we recommend you seek your own independent legal advice regarding how to respond to the Claim Pack as we cannot provide legal advice. Filing a defence or defence and counter claim will inevitably result in the case going to a hearing in front of a District Judge where a ruling will be made based on evidence.

·         County Court Judgment Has Been Registered – The Courts will have ruled in our client’s favour if a Judgment has been made, which will mean you have deemed legally liable to pay as per the Judgment. You are still able to Contact Us to discuss where we are happy to provide additional information we may hold in relation to the case, we can advise of and investigate any queries where necessary and provide documentation as required OR seek your own independent legal advice. 

·         Enforcement Proceedings Issued – The Courts will have ruled in our Client’s favour if a Judgment has been made, which will mean you have been deemed legally liable to pay. You are still able to Contact Us to discuss where we are happy to provide additional information we may hold in relation to the case which we can advise of. Usually once the case has been transferred for Enforcement, the details are transferred to the Courts to deal with. Please note that if a Writ of Control has been issued by the High Court, we are unable to provide assistance as all dealings and communications must go through the High Court Enforcement Officers appointed to act.
