Judges Seek Hold on Debt Claims
Judges in England and Wales are considering putting on hold up to 100,000 claims for the cancellation of credit card debt and other consumer debts.
Many of the cases have been generated by claims-handling firms advertising in the newspapers and on TV.
The firms argue that the debts cannot be enforced if lenders have not kept the right paper work.

A spokesman for the Judicial Communications Office explained that the aim was to find a way of dealing with a very large number of claims.
