The CCUA firmly believes that the concerns set out in the paper are misconceived.
The recent history regarding changes to the service rules are helpfully set out on page 14 of the consultation paper. The CCUA fully supported those changes when they were introduced and continues to believe that the current rules strike the correct and proportionate balance between the rights, protections and interests of both Claimants/ Judgment Creditors and Defendants/ Judgment Debtors.
Taken out of context, the suggested concern that in some cases “…..creditors deliberately use addresses for debtors that they know to be old” is extremely emotive and potentially misleading.
