Hi,

 

I received an Ordinary cause Claim a few weeks ago.

I've been to court to hand in my Notice of Intention to Defend.

I've now got to put my Defence in .

 

Been reading a lot of cases on the forum and thought I would post as I don't want to make any mistakes.

 

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

Who Is The Claimant: Cabot

 

Who Are the Solicitors: Nolans

 

What type of action? (simple/Ordinary): Ordinary

 

What is the claim for:

 

1. Jurisdiction

 

2. On 01/02/1997 the defender entered an agreement with Lloyds TSB Bank PLC under which the defender borrowed from them a sum of money repayable on demand.

 

3.The said agreement was an agreement regulated under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

4.The defender failed to pay as agreed on demand and is in breach of contract with the said LLOYDS TSB BANK PLC.

The said supplier assigned all rights in the said debt to Cabot Financial UK Ltd on 01/08/2012 and the pursuers have advised the defender of same.

 

5.The last payment was made to account on 21/08/2012.

The said sum of £6000 is the sum sued for.

 

6. The pursuers have made frequent requests to the defender to make payment of the said sum but the defender has refused or delayed to do so.

 

Claim Received:- 31/07/2017

Notice of Intention to Defend:- 21/08/17

Defence in by:- 04/09/17 but I can only go to court by Friday 01/09/17

 

What Documents are listed in Box E2:

 

Is the claim for a Overdraft, credit card, loan account, HP Agreement, Catalogue or mobile phone debt ? Credit card

 

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007? Before

 

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor

or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Debt purchaser

 

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? No Notice of Assignment but I received letters from Cabot asking for payment.

 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Yes

 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ? No

 

When was your last payment:- 20/06/2012

 

Why did you cease payments:- Financial difficulty

 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? Yes. The account defaulted 2007, I made reduced payments until 2012. I CCA'd Halifax in 2012 but they were unable to send me a copy of the agreement and since I was now struggling to make the reduced payments I put the account in dispute and stopped paying.

 

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management planicon ? Yes, made reduced payments negotiated through CAB

if you last payment was 20/06/2012 the debt is statute barred under SCOTTISH LAW

after 5 yrs the debt is TOTALLY EXTINQUISHED and does not exist

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thank you dx, I was hoping that would be the case.

 

When writing my Defences I have to admit/deny etc all the points made in the Condescendences.

With the exception of Jurisdiction, would I deny all? since the account should not exist anymore under Scottish Law.

 

Under Pleas In Law would I state the account is Statute Barred and ask for the case to be dismissed?

 

Thanks

Yes, I was resident in Scotland when I took this card out

 

The last payment I made was 20/06/2012 online from my Halifax bank card. I always paid it monthly online. I still have all my bank statements to prove this was the last payment and no further payments were made.

 

I don't know where Cabot/Nolans got a date of 21/08/2012

 

Thanks

so they've generated phantom payment

nothing new there then!!

 

the Scottish SB defence

which I think runs.

 

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 The Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, Section 6

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract,

 

in excess of 5 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

under scottish laws the debt is now extinguished

.

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

.

Regards

Make sure you reply using the correct format

Might be worthy to take in person to the clerks office and get it checked

 

Might also be worthy to scrape your mind and ensure you didn't make later payments via say a DMP company or ring the original creditor and check last payment date too

Hi dx, sorry not been online. I forgot my sign on details then couldn't find my thread.

 

Put my defences in using statute barred above.

 

Pursuer asked me to prove that I did not make that payment in 2012 but from reading online I believe it's up to them to prove that I did.

 

I've to put in my Rule 22.1 then got my Options Hearing in just over a week, will update after that.

 

Thanks

Hi, just an update.

 

When I was called forward I was still getting into the right place to stand but Nolans (or local rep?) had already starting talking so I missed the beginning but he was saying I hadn't done something properly, not sure what.

 

The sheriff said about it being prescribed by time.

 

Nolans said as their client was not the original creditor it would take time to get all the details,

he said about sisting the case or continuing it at a later date.

 

The sheriff asked me if I just wanted it shelved for the time being or to come back in 4 weeks to give them time to find paperwork.

 

I said I'd come back in 4 weeks.

I take it by shelved you mean sisted.

 

no probably better to give them 4 weeks then demand if dismissed as they've have long enough already.

and already claimed they HAD the paperwork on the claimform

Hi dx, another update

 

I've received a letter from solicitor offering to dismiss the action with no expenses due.

 

The offer is made without admission to liability and I have seven days to accept.

 

If I don't accept they say they have prepared further adjustments and a rule 22 note.

 

Any thoughts?
