Excellent thank you Defense submitted, looking forward to the next steps now. Thanks for your guidance

Hiya Just a quick update, still receive nothing from Aplins to which they have had ample time to respond, my defense is required by tomorrow, which I am typing up now. Do I just say that I contacted orange, who no longer exist to then speak to EE who would not disclose any information to me, I have no idea why And then requested information from Aplins but not received anything ? Thanks for your help I'll have another look through the forum for defense help too Thanks again Ohh can I add to my defense that my contract with orange had ceased at the end of the agreement period, thus not being in contract ? Thanks again

Ok, my cpr 31.14 shall be sent tomorrow, do I just wait for their response in regards to that ? Hopefully I'll have some results from that. Thanks again

Eeekkk so sorry I did read that and got over excited at the prospect of my letter, apologies Many thanks

Hi I have been reading through the other posts and it seems my best option at this time will be to send a cpr 31.14 although it won't say much it will stipulate the contract terms and conditions and should highlight that my contract ended in April so technically I don't owe anything. I have included my letter as the PoS are vague I have very little to go from, i have also seen a Cpr 18 been requested by not sure what that is. Here is my letter below [template removed - it says at the top of all template - please do not publish in the open forum.... - dx]

Interesting reading, thankyou, seems their PoC is extremely vague. Looks like the CPR request relating to the contract they seem to mention, will be interesting to see what evidence they have considering the contract had expired. Thanks again

Hi I was just wondering how you got on with this ? As I have received the same form today. Many thanks

Excellent thank you,I'll have a read, many thanks

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help regards to a court claim form I have received today from Aplins, via Northampton court. The PoC is extremely vague and goes something like this. The claim is for call and service charges due and unpaid as at today's date under a network services contract made between the claimant and the defendant. The debt is allegedly for an outstanding orange bill. I used to have an orange mobile to which the contract ended in April or May this year, I called and noticed them to terminate at the end of the agreement period and was advised to call back within a month should I change my mind, I didn't and they failed to terminate my contract with them, still allowing the phone to be in service, I didn't use the phone as I had a new contract, they simply allowed it to continue, I only knew this because a friend advised me my old number was still active. They then cut off the phone roughly in November ?. Or October. I don't know I hadn't used it. I then recieved a letter from the court, this one today. Firstly I shall acknowledge the documents and intend to defend, do I now send a CRP 31.14 ? As the PoC are vague what wouldn't need to ask for? The bill was only ever around £39 and the whole amount is for £287.54. Any help is appreciated Thanks in advance
