Hi,

I've received a County Court Business Centre claim from Mortimer and Clarke on behalf of Cabot.

The description of what they're claiming is so very vauge and doesn't even mention an account number or any reference at all.

It just states that it is regarding a claim for an amount arising from an agreement with a credit card company a rough date as to when they think an agreement was entered into, a statement that the debt was assigned and then "The claimant therefore claims £xxx costs" . And that is it.

I had missed the Letter of Claim I had been sent which, now I've found and opened it, does give some more info. However, obviously I haven't responded to it within the 30 days.

So.. in response now to the Court claim, do I ignore the info in the Letter of Claim and proceed as if it didn't exist?

In other words, should I request all the lacking information in the court claim from Mortimer & Clarke under CPR 31.14 as I have done previously with an old Cabot claim or is the Letter of Claim part of precedings?

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

Acknowledge the claim on MCOL, and tick defend all, then send in the CPR, others will be along soon.

Hi,

Sorry for not replying at the time- My time was running out for my response to the claim didn't have time to fill in the CAG form etc

then get bogged down in questions about the specific details of my claim when it was a technical question as to whether the Letter of Claim was part of their submission to the court. 

I think I had to submit it that night or the next day.My response to the county court did ask for all the details that was lacking on the court claim form - I obviously can't properly respond legally without these details. In response, Mortimer and Clarke soon stated they were no longer pursuing in the claim. 

I should really make sure this is quashed on the court side of things too...does anyone know the name of the form for this?

Thanks in advance

the claim is stayed 

not a lot you need to do
