• The statutory demand should tell you how and where you should apply to set it aside. This would normally be in the same court that you would apply for your own bankruptcy.
• To set aside the statutory demand you must do the following within 18 days of receipt:
° submit a Witness Statement in Support of Application to Set Aside Statutory Demand using FORM 6.5
Being issued with a statutory demand can be very serious! Before
doing anything I would suggest that you seek independent advice!!
It is not unusual for some unscrupulous creditors to issue Stat Demands, just to scare you into paying your debt, or forcing you to contact them.
Get independent advice before responding!!!

Hello U
Many thanks for visiting my blog.
I have edited your details to give you anonymity regarding your comment.
These forms that you require are not readily available from this site, as I think you would need to discuss this sort of thing before you submit them. The major problem is that some creditors issue Statutory Demands without intentionally going through the whole process.
How was the Statutory Demand sent to you?
I have also arranged for someone to contact you.
dear johnny debt i require the forms 6.4 and 6.5 forms to set aside a stat demand please contact me asap
Hello Debra, Often Stat Demands are issued only to scare you into action. I have often seen Stat Demands issued and then no action taken. Do you have any assets such as a property that has equity?

The two barristers in question are rosa Zaffuto and David beard i paid then to help me in divorce and paid them £6,000.
After giving them all the stuff on our business and home they then sent me sa state demand for 12 weeks work for half a million pounds.
I set it aside but was out of time, then i heard nothing but i suspect skulduggery as the bar standards board tell me that one is disbarred and isn’t even a barrister and the other one promoted that status to me to i think swindle me out of money. The case has been moved to the high court and i have no knowledge of anything other then this new information shows that they are swindler fraudsters i had no interim billing nothing it is with the herts police now as a crime.the court said i need an IAA which makes me think they have done something without me knowing
Maybe give Debbie a call on 07790 533884 she may be able to advise further?
