Can anyone help/advise me please?

I have severe anxiety and depression and this sudden out of nowhere scenario is taking me to the edge.

.. (I've had to increase my medication..)

I won't waffle about my life story..

., but it's a roller coaster one..

but I suppose aren't they all?

I have received a claim form from northampton county court.

The claimant is a DCA.

I have till 21/10/14 to decide what to do (including the 5 days after issue date). Today is 19/10/14.

The claim form seems real (blue with claim number top right and court symbol top left).

It is electronically signed by Solicitors.

I have checked my credit report and the default date is 5 years from being dropped off.

The amount is for £2000 and is a credit card.

But it looks like DCA has purchased it.

I am not a homeowner nor employed.

I have been homeless in past.

Is it too late to make a final settlement with debt agency/solicitor if I gave them 10%? (my sister has offered to help)

or has the county court process already started?

Should I just ignore?

But I don't wan't a CCJ marked on my credit file as trying to fix my life.

Should I challenge?

Any help, advice, guidance much much appreciated..

Again Thank You

you DO NOT ignore it

please fill this out and post the results back here

I have one working day left of service days window.......

yes you must ACK the claim - defend all-

regardless on MCOL.

else you'll get a CCJ by default.

goto MCOL site

create a registration

note the long number.

then log in using that

enter the required details from the claim

select AOS.

comeback when done

you need to get a CCA request off to cabot ASAP

and a CPR 31:14 off to drydens in the library tab [top left] then legal section.

Hello

It's asking for intention

a) Defend all

Seperately asks, contest jurisdiction.

dx

Hello

Sainsbury Bank PLC

Hello

How many days do I have now? Issue date on form is 03/10/14. I've put acknowledgment through 19/10/14 to defend all.

Also, do I have to inform the courts of anything in meantime?

With the information given, do I have a chance with CCA and CPR 31:14?

Ay link to letter templates?

Many Thanks

post 8 click the CCA link

cpr is in the library section

you have informed the court via AOS

you should get an ack of that being done

Much Appreciation for all this..... seriously

Hello

Same situation.

Which letters did you send off for defence?

What have the courts done in meantime? With the original claim? Set aside / thrown out? Still live?

can you go get your credit file please

and tell us the details of the debt from there too

noddle [below] is free.

dx

Can they roll all debts into one on a single ccj claim? Yes

 

Shouldn't it be for individual debts?

Andy

Hello

 

Same situation.

Same situation, maybe same debt purchaser and solicitor too , but you will need to start your own thread please to get advice tailored to your own situation as the two cases will be bound to diverge.

Hello

I have located the CCA and CPR templates as instructed. I will complete them and print off. But I'm a bit stuck with the time frame of things...

My Issue date on claim form is: 2/10/14

I acknowledged claim/submitted defence online: 19/10/14

a) How much time do I have to file defence/communicate with DCA and solicitor?

b) Apparently 10 days are needed between each letter, as I'm pushed for time, can I still send letters? Will they be accepted?

c) Does the following for CCA letter affect me? "the timescale for providing this is 12+2 WORKING DAYS. If it is not sent within this timescale they are in default of your request."

d) How much time do I give them to respond?

Can they simply turn around and say did not give us enough time to look/respond?

Thanks

you must file your defence regardless by mon 3rd midnight

you still send off the CCA + CPR

cpr they don't have to respond too

CCA they do.

it should have been done when you got the claim form

but anyway send it off

you will prob still be filing the holding/no paperwork defence

regardless to the timescale of the CCA.

dx

"you will prob still be filing the holding/no paperwork defence

regardless to the timescale of the CCA."

Would you say that is the likely route,

seeming that the alleged agreement started before April 2007

before the consumer credit act 2006 came into effect

where a signed agreement is needed to be shown before court.

Or am I jumping the gun here?.... 4 days non-stop research I think I'm getting there

Again Thank You
