Thanks very much DX.

Hi all, Defence was filed on time, sorry didn't post it up but have been really ill after heart attack. This is the defence provided. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is accepted insofar that a relationship did once exist between the Defendant and Vodafone however, I cannot recall this account (Agreement) The claimant has yet to disclose a copy of the Account/Agreement mentioned in particulars of Claim. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied ,the Defendant has not been served with a notice of termination and the claimant is put to strict proof thereof. 3.Paragraph 3 is denied .The defendant is unaware of any legal notice of assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to Law and property Act 1925 Section 136(1). 4.Therefore the defendant denies owing any money to the Claimant and the claimant is put to strict proof , Show how the Defendant has entered into an Agreement. Show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for. Show how the Claimant has legal right ,either under statue or equity to issue a claim. 5.As per Civil Procedurehttps://www.consumeractiongroup.co.u...ages/link3.gif Rule 16.5(4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed; having been provided with written requests for information under CPR 31.14 and to date have failed to provide any such documentation as detailed on the particulars of claim. 6.On the alternative, if the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act 1925. 7.Notwithstanding the above should the alleged amount claimed include an early termination charge(s) amounting to the entire balance of the remaining contract. OFCOM guidance states that any Early Termination Charge that is made up of the entire balance if the remaining contract is unlikely to be fair as it fails to take into account the fact that the provider no longer has to provide and pay for their service. 8.By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief. Lowell replied to CPR letter saying as this is telecommunications matter it's not regulated by CCA 1974, Stated default notice does not apply as this is service agreement so no default issued, they say requested statements from original creditor and will contact when received. They confirm that at no time has their client Lowell Portfolio ltd entered into any contract with me directly stating it was lawfully assigned and have requested copy of assignement, they acknowledge acknowledgement of service to defend. Received a Notice of proposed Allocation to small claims track with a form N180 to fill in before 8th October 2018. many thanks, this is making me bleeding ill.

Hi everyone, Got a PE ticket through post back in Dec 17, appealed to PE and received their standard fob off appeal not accepted. Didn't appeal to popla and then received a PE Letter before County Court Claim. After reading up on the thread about this I sent a letter " Please therefore provide a Letter Before Claim which complies with the requirements of Annex A Para 2 of the Practice Direction on Pre-action Conduct as below: Received an email stating they looking into the matter then a today stating that Annex A of the practice direction (pre-action conduct and protocols were no longer in force and amendments were made on 6th April 2015. They state that their LBCCC is fully compliant along with their Reply form and information sheet attached to it. Finally, they state that they require further information to be able to understand my position and for them to provide a response. If I wish to dispute the charge please clarify the reason for this or make a payment. Not sure what to do next as clock may be ticking in their favour for the LBCCC. Cannot appeal to POPLA as the number given is invalid, probably date barred. Any advice greatly received please? thanks
