Myself and my friend were in partnership as electricians until last year when we had to close up. We deregistered the company (Not a limited company) but we owe 5700 euro to one supplier. We have assured him that we would pay him whenever our circumstances allowed us to. We have been stung ourselves by builders who wont pay us and we know we will never see this money. We are now both on welfare and both our families are struggling to meet mortgages, other debts etc.
We have now received a letter to appear in court within the next few weeks and my question is - can we just go there ourselves and tell the judge of our circumstances. We genuinely cannot afford to hire a solictor to act on our behalf. This is a frightening time for us as we have no experience of being brought to court.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
