Hi I am in a similar position but not with Bryan Carter with 1st Credit.
If you suspect fraud you need to get a crime reference number. The police will take your details and phone you back later and just give you the number and tell you they wont do anything.
Now with this number you can then phone the financial ombudsman. They will then do something. They did not even take my complaint until I had this! In the acse of 1st Credit they have written to them and told them to stop any court action until the complaint has been investigated properly.
i am now waiting to hear from 1st credit.
The solicitors complaints people also then took my complaint against 1st credits solicitors.
Prior to this i got nowhere.
In my case also the CCA was never supplied.
Hope this helps.

about the pre action start here and see what mr carter is doing and you will see he is behaving in a not to appropiate manner and you need to look at what has been done by him and the way he has been frustrating you also the above paragraph from Mr col should also be considered and the complaints should now be sent out to other parties

I received this letter from Bryan Carter today:

"Please find attached for your information, a copy of the Notice of Discontinuance forwarded to Sunderland County Court."

I guess this means I've won then?

Am I right in thinking that when I get confirmation from court that I will then look into counter claiming for costs incurred, to get the ccj removed fro my credit history and an apology??? Will I be able to claim my freelance rates for the 18+ hours I've spent on this as well???

I'm so relieved I can see some kind of closure to this.

Thankyou Paul. Think is this has cost me over £100 so far in court fees, phone calls, postage etc. so I at least want that back from them. I also want that CCJ removed from my credit history as well, so I have no idea how to go about this as yet.

It is a relief however. I was filled with dread when I saw the envelope in the post but I did a little dance once I'd read the letter. :P

Nice one... you can charge them at £9.75 per hour... should make a nice dent in their profits.
