| Re: Court Hearing 25th Feb...Help Please cca It MUST contain a
credit amount (it could say we will determine your credit amount from time to time (this is acceptible))
an interest rate
and repayment type i.e 5% or £5
it MUST be on the document you signed NOT on seperate paper work.
sent defence to court by recorded (allow 3 days to be safe before dead line) and other send by normal postage (cuts cost) as long as they get it by deadline theres no problem, get proof of posting from post office for latter ( it covers your rear end JUST in case they try using excuse that they never got it) |

| Re: Court Hearing 25th Feb...Help Please Hi
With reference to your claiming damages for your mortgage there is actually a ruling by the Court of Appeal that addresses this: Kpohraror v Woolwich Building Society - Mr Kpohraror sued the bank for damage to reputation following a (wrongly) bounced cheque.
The pertinent part of the Court of Appeal judgement is:
"The credit rating of individuals is as important for their personal transactions, including mortgages and hire-purchase as well as banking facilities, as it is for those who are engaged in trade, and it is notorious that central registers are now kept. I would have no hesitation in holding that what is in effect a presumption of some damage arises in every case, in so far as this is a presumption of fact."
So I imagine a claim for damages is quite possible . If you have proof that your mortgage was directly affected by your poor credit rating then you have a case for substancial damages, in the above case he was awarded £1000
Hope this helps

| | Classic Account Customer | Re: Court Hearing 25th Feb...Help Please Goodness me,
Well yes I do have direct proof, namely a mortgage quotation that is 400 squid more expensive, per month, wouldn't be too much to ask my (reputable) mortgage broker to write to me outlining my options, and the reason for them (the default).
I read somewhere around CAG that as long as you tell them in writing that the matter is "in dispute" then they can't put anything on your record until it's resolved. I was after some facts to possibly cement that as I plan to maybe add it to my defence to get the default removed. If it's removed I'm laughing, basically.
Either way, I am aiming to get the case struck out on my original defence, then send a special delivery letter to them pointing out that as the matter is in dispute I'd like the default removed immediately, failing which I will take further action against them to recover the costs to me which are directly resulting from the default.
Any info you could point me to regarding the 'in dispute' topic would be appreciated.
Thanks for your input
