Hi

please can you help me,

I have received a court claim from Arrow from Northampton Court,

for the claim of £4900, issued 8 days ago

was a bank loan issued opened up in 1998, ,

last know payment was 2008/9.

I have not acknowledged this debt, or any comms from me to Arrow

I have filed online that I will contest this claim, hopefully on Limitation Act 1980

can I now send off a CPR18 request to their solicitor ?

what is should I be asking for in the CPR 18 ? All of the below 5 details ?

1.The agreement/contract, including the specific Terms at the point the alleged Agreement was made and any subsequent changes.

2.The deed of assignment

3.The notice of assignment

4.The default warning letter

5.The default notice

(CPR 31.14 Request only worth doing if debt is over 10k. I may have this totally wrong..)

I have read that some people think that a CC Agreement request letter is not really useful (sorry, I cannot remember their reasons for stating this)

Is it worth it your opinion to request CCA from the DCA?

shall I ring up my old bank and ask them for the last payment date ?

thanks for all help in advance

Its either SB or more likely theyll never get paperwork for it, they know they wont, bujt theyve seen the amount, got greedy and are hoping you dont know any better.

moved to legals

please fill this out

He noticed the brown envelope looked bit official,

consequently sent me a scanned copy so I could respond.

that's great cheers

can you pop off to the MCOL site and go ACK [AOS} the claim

defend all

leave jurisdiction unticked

and ill tidy the thread up

dx

already completed. I did this yesterday.

thanks dx

brill

ok yes this look SB'd so should be easy to kill.

if you are 100% certain you've not paid anything to any one

nor signed any letters referring to the debt to the OC or any DCA

then there no need to do CCA/CPR

you can file the SB defence NOW

and that should be the end of it

ok

dx

Better luck next time Arrow and Restons!

thanks renegadeimp & dx

with respect to the defence, I may be able to find old bank statement (gut feel is only a 30% chance of this) proving last payment.

if I cannot find these old statements, will I have to phone up old bank and try to get proof out of them for last payment?

No harm in ringing the bank and asking

thanks dx

with respect to the CPR 18 , I have read that it can be useful as a backup so to speak.

Unless the claimant complies with the request in the CPR 18 within 14 days , the claim will stand to be struck out and judgment awarded to the defendant on this basis?

(apologies if I have got this wrong, and I am talking out of my )

Heres what you do.

Phone bank, state account number, and get the last date of payment to them. Ask them to follow it up via email confirmation

If its not sb, get the CCA and CPR off and youll sink cabot instantly ( note: they'll try to bluff you and offer a discount. This will prove they have no hope)

thanks dx

Not so at all, for either a quick, or an automatic, strike-out : you do have it wrong.

For a start, the parties are expected to resolve exchange of information informally first : CPR 18 can only be used where the other side has already been asked for the information, and hasn't provided it.

Next, the key word in CPR 18.1(1) is "may".

https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part18

(1) The court may at any time order a party to –

(a) clarify any matter which is in dispute in the proceedings; or

(b) give additional information in relation to any such matter,

whether or not the matter is contained or referred to in a statement of case.

So, if you ask for information and they don't provide it, you can apply to the court to make a CPR 18 order requiring them to provide the information.

To get a strike out using this:

a) The court would have to choose to make the CPR 18 order. They "may", but they don't "have" to do so,

b) The other side must not comply, and then

c) The court would have to choose to make an "unless" order requiring them to comply, or have their claim (in this case, or their defence if the defendant) struck out.

Can a claim or a defence be struck out by using CPR 18 to request information and not being given it: yes. But it isn't a given: the court isn't under an obligation to make the CPR 18 order.

As said ignore CPR 18

Get this is it sb'd or not answered stop faffin around on bs not important to you

Further reasons to ignore CPR 18:

CPR 18 does not apply to small claims, except that the court may, of its own initiative, order a party to provide further information "if it considers it appropriate to do so" (see CPR 27.2(1)(f) and 27.2(3)).

Mind you, at this stage the claim hasn't yet been allocated to a track ........... but I still wouldn't focus on CPR 18, if you have an absolute defence using the statute bar.

Your priority is to find out if its SB. Just pick up the p hone and call the bank

ok.

Thanks for clarification on CPR 18

I will keep you updated how goes

Thanks for all your help so far.

update :

I have done some digging around on my backup drives, took some time, but I found some old Quicken Interchange Format bank statements I downloaded, back to 2001. I knew I had them somewhere.

They show that I was paying by direct transfer from current account to loan account on the 10th of each month up to end of 2002.

Then as of Jan 2003 there were no more payments. Each pass of the 10th of each month no more monies taken from current account for this loan. Plain as day.

Which is how I remember the loan account going, whilst I was with old bank. Think my thoughts back then were that someone at the bank must have hit the wrong button on their computer screen and not knowingly cancelled the transfer for each month.

Or just a good old computer bug

I can now print this electronic statements for my evidence.

is it N9 form I use ?,

is there any example defence forms on CAG ?

(apologies if they are in sticky or somewhere obvious)

right so you've proved its statute barred?

yep,

looks as I can prove last payment from statements I have

then no need to do anything more than file the SB defence now

on mcol website

The following defence is all you need if it is SB

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (insert date).

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the limitation act 1980.

.

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

.

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £[insert figure from their POC] or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

..

..ends..

thanks dx,

yourself and your fellow posters on this site have cleared up so much confusion for me,

your advice is very much appreciated

just a quick update :

on MCOL webiste it shows I submitted by defence (as per Dx advice, statute barred)

says 'defence was received 6.9.16'

there has not been any more change in status?

what are the usual time scales for these procedures ?

they have 33 days to do 'something' else it gets autostayed.

next move is theirs not yours
