std practice if you read other carter threads.

 

 

doesn't really mean anything

So I just continue to Ignore?

Bryan Carter said they received my defence and wish to continue unless I paid up. (I ignored)

Received SC Track today from The court office at the county court business center

I have received notice of proposed allocation to the small claims track this morning, what should I do now? Seems this just does not want to go away!

SB defence has been submitted thanks all for your help on a Saturday morning I really appreciate it. I will update you as I go along (Not sure what to expect yet) Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

After speaking to O2 and carter this is what I've got to work with

Carter:

03/04/2010 default

27/01/2011 debt purchased

****** account number

online 18 month

O2 opened in 20/04/2009.

And Phone disconnected on 05/11/2009

No details of any payments

Claim has been acknowledged and I have selected defend in full.

So I now send a Statute barred defence?

Is it worth the CCA request?

How long have I got to submit the defence, should I find out more info first or go for it?

Can you remember this unpaid 02 account ?

 

You seem to be unsure about it.

 

If so, try to get an 02 reference number or details from Bryan Carters, so you can make enquiries with 02. I suspect that 02 have deleted you from current systems and you will need to ask them for information from archived old accounts using any reference number you find out.

 

See what you can find out and post back.

No I cannot remember it at all i'll call Bryan and Carters for info and get back to O2 and see what I can muster up.

Thanks

This is all the info I have from equifax.

O2 do not have info of the account when I spoke to them (conversation saved)

Sorry I can't be more helpful with the info.

It would be helpful to get hold of confirmation from 02 of when the last unpaid bill was and when this would have been in default under the accounts terms and conditions. If you can get 02 to confirm this, then you can defend with 100% certainty that the debt is statute barred, so cannot be subject to court enforcement. And Bryan Carters are then likely to not proceed.

Just spoken to O2 via online chate and they do not have an account for my name and address or any address that I have previously lived at, I have saved the online chat.

They don't have to supply a CCA for a phone debt. But they have to evidence the debt and anything mentioned in their particulars of claim.

 

If you had an unpaid bill from April 2009, it should be statute barred and the default date in 2010 is wrong. If you are sure about the account being unpaid in 2009, you can defend on tbe basis that the debt is subject to statute of limitations and that the claimant is held to strict proof by way of original creditors statements of account in regard to an accurate default date.

Thanks for the quick response

I had a letter last week from Bryan and Carter saying they are legal representation of Lowell Portfolio 1 Ltd and that I have an outstanding O2 Phone Bill from 04/2009 for £460. They said if I did not pay up they would issue a CCJ against me.

I gained a copy of my credit report and noticed there was a default dated 03/04/2010 from Lowell.

2 weeks later (Yesterday) I had a claim form come through from the court with a CCJ notice to which I have limited time to reply for the amount of £582

I called Bryan and Carter and asked for a copy of the credit agreement and they were very rude I said I did not recognise the debt and needed more details to investigate the issue.

Can they do this or is there any other way around this other than paying the money without even seeing a copy of the credit agreement?

Thanks for your time reading this.
