Hi all

 

maybe in the same boat as a lot of people who have put their head in the sand :-(

 

I had a payday loan with Uncle Buck which I did not pay when due on the 30th of January 2015 for £202.43..

 

I have today received court papers for £391.43 plus the £35 court costs.

 

Is this legally allowable? Do I have any arguments here or am i up the proverbial without a paddle?

 

V v limited details in paper form but will scan these and upload when at work on Monday.

are there relevant details I should ask !st Stop and/or Uncle Buck for?

What should I do with the papers recieved from the court?

 

Any advice appreciated!

 

thanks

I am amazed a pay day loan company now goes to court

 

They usually flog the debt to Motormouth

 

They are not a judges favourite claimant due to unethacal business practices

 

How was this £391.43 made up

 

£202.43 seems an odd sum as the original loan amount

 

Did you do a rollover??

How was the 391 made up? One thing I intend to find out . I presume I send an SAR or CCA..but who to?

 

Claim details , v "brief" shall we say :-)

 

there was indeed a rollover, 1.

 

taken out 04/12/14

 

150.00 credit

total amount payable 22/12 202.43

rolled over 17/12 with due date 30/01 of 202.43

this amount was not paid by myself on this date

 

it would appear after that the charges/ interest just kept on coming :-S

Dont get me wrong but couldn't one piece of defense be used, such as the below;

 

(This loan was taken AFTER the change by the FCA)

 

Martin Wheatley, the FCA's chief executive officer, said:

 

'I am confident that the new rules strike the right balance for firms and consumers. If the price cap was any lower, then we risk not having a viable market, any higher and there would not be adequate protection for borrowers.

 

'For people who struggle to repay, we believe the new rules will put an end to spiraling payday debts. For most of the borrowers who do pay back their loans on time, the cap on fees and charges represents substantial protections.'

 

The FCA published its proposals for a payday loan price cap in July. The price cap structure and levels remain unchanged following the consultation. These are:

 

Initial cost cap of 0.8% per day - Lowers the cost for most borrowers. For all high-cost short-term credit loans, interest and fees must not exceed 0.8% per day of the amount borrowed.

Fixed default fees capped at £15 - Protects borrowers struggling to repay. If borrowers do not repay their loans on time, default charges must not exceed £15. Interest on unpaid balances and default charges must not exceed the initial rate.

Total cost cap of 100% - Protects borrowers from escalating debts. Borrowers must never have to pay back more in fees and interest than the amount borrowed.

From 2 January 2015, no borrower will ever pay back more than twice what they borrowed, and someone taking out a loan for 30 days and repaying on time will not pay more than £24 in fees and charges per £100 borrowed.

 

 

Now that they have added court fees, It means its taken it above the rules set out by FCA.... Also how much did they charge for the default?

 

We could do with some help from you.

CPR means Civil Procedure Rules - i.e. the rules upon which civil claims are based and administered in accordance with. That's my non-expert definition.

 

31.14 refers to disclosure and inspection of documents - https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part31

 

The normal advice on here is to make a request you send to the claimant for supply of documents relating to the particulars of the claim. In most of these claims, the claimant won't comply with the request and there is no legal obligation to, but it's useful to refer to the fact you've requested said documents in your defence and also later in your witness statements. It shows the claimant you mean business, but also shows the court that you've made reasonable and proactive attempts to resolve the matter.

done

 

so whats next on the timelines?

 

Ok, so you have sent away for documents that you need - you have acknowledged the claim online. The next thing will be your defence which you need to submit by 4th December. You have some time in hand so you might want to have a look at other threads and consider what you want to say.

 

First of all, when you took out the loan did they do any credit checks ? You appear to have rolled the loan over, was this because you were struggling financially at that time ? Did you ask to roll over or did they suggest you rolled over ?

 

This loan appears to have been taken out after the FCA put in place the new lending criteria. Did they abide by this or have they lent to you irresponsibly ?

I notice you say you didn't communicate that you were struggling financially - how easy does this company make it for people to contact them ?

how can i check this?

 

You appear to have rolled the loan over, was this because you were struggling financially at that time ? Did you ask to roll over or did they suggest you rolled over ?
i was, it was just before xmas. it was an option within an email from them

 

This loan appears to have been taken out after the FCA put in place the new lending criteria. Did they abide by this or have they lent to you irresponsibly ?

will the above help this?

 

as well as the above, is it legally fair to double the amount?

Now that they have added court fees, It means its taken it above the rules set out by FCA.... Also how much did they charge for the default?

 

 

Definitely find this interesting, the loan amount which was "rolled over was " £150 so even before court fees its over the 100% I believe

 

 

That's before I start looking as whether their lending was "responsible" ( ie Credit checks done etc)
