In court tomorrow about CSA debts (long story, don't ask!).

I'm not working at the mo, so can't afford to pay back the £2500 that they are wanting, and I'm worried over a repossesion order.

I don't have much, computer for work (contract/freelance), but a few friends have said that they can't reposses things like the TV/Video as these were my wifes before we were married. Likewise I've got an MP3 player that was a christmas present, and they've said they can't reposses gifts either.

Is that true? Seems a bit unlikely.
 
Cheers for the response.

In answer to some of the advice.

Yep, family could easily help out, I 'could' potentially pay the debt, but it's not through lack of wanting to, but I'm arguing that the amount outstanding is totally wrong. So I'm not prepared to pay a figure that I know is to be wrong.

As for signing items over, yup I agree that's unfair, but likewise I'm saying in all honesty, I have 'nothing' in my name, other than a computer that is used for work related purposes. Even the Xbox360 was purchased as an early birthday present and not in my name.

And as for the things on the TV with the baliffs coming round, that's the bit that bothers me as they seem to show no concern over whether things are in a name or not, it looks like they simply come in and remove stuff.

Naturally I don't want it to get that far, and if it does, then I'll obviously have to swallow the bitter pill and part with money that I don't owe, but that's the last avenue I want to go down.

Anyway, thanks again for the advice, at least I know there are some certain areas where I don't have to panic.

Cheers.

My advice, apart from raising the issue that you think the figures are incorrect is to offer something, rather than nothing, towards the debt. In such a case you may be given a suspended as opposed to full possession order i.e. suspended on the basis that you pay x pounds each week/month. It is no good to simply put your head in the sand and say you can't pay.

Sound advice, thanks for that.
