Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I am posting on behalf of my mother, she was a victim of identity fraud (police were involved) in 2003/2004 and one of creditors involved was orange. the fraudster ran up a bill for £278 and today we have received a county court summons, the claimant being Arrow Global on behalf of orange.
The letter has the northampton county court stamp on, however we are loacted in Devon, so what are our options please guys?
Ensure that you complete an the Acknowledgement of Service with 14 days of the date of issue (allowing 5 days for service) of the claim form, then file a defence (with 28 days from the date of issue, allowing 5 days for service) stating that the bill was run up by a fraudster and include the appropriate crime reference number and supporting documentation.
Northampton is a bulk clearing centre for claims for when the claim is filed on line (using MCOL) it should be transferred to your local court once it proceeds as a defended claim.
Post your defence up here and we will help with it.

Particulars -
1. The defendant entered into a contract for the provision of services with orange (the agreement).
2. On 01 September 2008 the claimant, which is a company incorporated in the state of Delaware, USA, and has its registered office at 5996 W Touchy Avenue, Niles, IL 60714, USA, acquired all of Orange's rights in relation to the agreement.
3. The defendant is indebted to the claimant in the sum of £278.98 in respect of the unpaid sums due under the agreement.
4. The defendant is in breach of the agreement by failing to make payment under the terms of the agreement.
5. The defendant has, despite request for payment, failed to pay the sum of £278.98 and is indebted to the claimant in the sum of £213.98. The claimant therefore claims the sum of £278.98 pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
