Ok, new here, so please go easy.... :)

 

First off after reading some threads here today,

i feel ive left this a bit long,

but any advice is appreciated and will be taken on board.

 

In December I received a Summary Court Summons for £3006.64. For unpaid shop direct handled by capquest.

 

My Return date is 18th January (this is next week i know, so not a lot of time to decide what i'm gonna do)

 

The original account with shop direct was 2010, and it was passed to capquest in 2012.

 

I'm happy to admit full liability and offer to set up a repayment plan.

 

BUT, if i recall at the time, I was barely able to make minimum repayments, yet they kept increasing my credit limit.

Can I dispute the claim and try to reclaim some charges/interest to reduce my final figure??

 

This is my first full day off work in a few weeks, and no kids at home, means I finally have the time needed to get my response in.

 

Again I'm sure i've done this all wrong, but just need some quick advice due to my circumstance...

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Yes

Why did you cease payments:- They just got too much, i couldn't afford them

 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No

 

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No I didn't

the only thing you could dispute would be the monthly penalty charges {£12 late/over/letter etc]

these could be upto £24 every month you didn't pay until they sold the debt on

but you'd need the statements to confirm their value to you.

 

get an sar running to shop direct today

 

or go ring them [shop direct] and ask for a statement of charges

they MIGHT send one to you but the statements are better.

though these probably wont be more than a couple of £100's.

 

have you paid shop direct anything in the last 5 yrs?

i'm not 100% certain when my last payment to shop direct was, i have since changed/closed the bank I used so can't retrieve any statements... it is very possible.....

 

Ok i just called shop direct and although the woman was trying to palm me off to capquest, she did say the last payment she could see on her system was for £270 April 2012 so just under 5years :(

 

And just too add again, I've left this all quite late, i have to reply to the court by Next Wednesday.....

 

Apologise if this looks as though i'm spamming the thread...

 

I want to send everything off tomorrow.

 

Should I just admit liability and offer to repay... As ive left it so long i don't know if there is anything else i can do???

if you return date is not till the 17th then hang fire and we'll review things later..

what date is the hearing?

 

my gut reaction is to defend it and get a CCA request running to capquest and the Scottish eqiv to a CPR running to the solicitors who are?

 

99.9% of these DCA claims in Scotland simply turn out to be speculative and the pursuer hopes for a default undefended judgement where no paperwork is looked at nor needed.

 

once you defend and request proof etc, they back off.

 

which court is this too please

Thanks Andy, will try and get a read of this over the weekend...

I'm a chef with 4 kids so free time is like the holy grail to me!!...lol

 

@dx100uk , even if I defend and they don't back off,

i guess its just a case of setting up a repayment plan anyway, so nothing lost really I assume...

so defending, means I may/will need to go to the court on the 1st of February.

.. you think it would be fine to represent myself?

 

Hopefully as said they may just back off,

but gotta prepare for the worst case scenario I guess..

I think i may need some pointers on filling out the "note of proposed defense/counterclaim"

 

i need to;

 

"State which facts in the statement of claim are admitted"

 

"State briefly any facts regarding the circumstances of the claim on which you intent to rely"

 

"State details of counterclaim, if any"

 

I fear that the original debt could have been around the 3k figure,

but its been so long ago I cant actually remember,

 

 

but I know I was late on a lot of payments and would have racked up charges a lot,

and over the 2 years of me having the account,

they kept ramping up my limit but i guess trying to get these back I would have to do outwith this case as it is now with capquest.

 

A friend has just pointed out this passage in the original statement;

 

"conform to copy statement of account which will be produced in any defended process to follow hereon"

 

does this mean they have the original statements saying the figure is correct??
