Hi There all. (PLEASE HELP - URGENT!!!!!!)

 

In desperate need of help. Just to give you an overview of the situation. I am married with 6 children and in full time employment. I have received a Court Claim form this morning from Phoenix Recoveries (UK) Limited which have purchased a debt which I do have (or did have) with Sainsburys Bank (an unsecured personal loan)

 

The debt was for £17,400.92 which I know that is correct - Sainsburys were accpeting my payments through the CCCS but now they are claiming the original £17,400.92 and £3,306.41 Interest back dated - also interest at a daily rate of £3.10 plus court costs and fees etc making the debt even higher at £21117.33.

 

I need some advice on how to proceed with the claim form and also what the best option for me is bearing in mind the increase size of the debt now.

 

Can I offer them a settlement - they did not bother to contact me - they just sent the forms via Moneyclaim!!

 

Is it a case of foreign company profiteering yet again or am I well and truely "shafted"

 

Look forward hopefully to some interesting posts.

 

P.S One option that I would consider is borrowing a proportion of the money from a family member - but we do not have £21K lying around in a Swiss Bank account.

 

Also I owe in excess of £40 in total.

 

Many Thanks

ok....first thing to do is that you have to acknowledge the claim within 14 days of the date on the claim, if you do then you get another 14 days to defend it (which I presume you will do).....In the first instance acknowledge the claim, otherwise you will get a default judgment against you.....

 

What you must also do is send the solicitor / claiant THIS letter below by recorded delivery asap...

 

(I presume there must be a large amount of excess / penalty chrges on the account too....

Dear XXX

 

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

 

I have received a recent court claim from your organisation. In order to file a defence and counter claim I require some information. Given that this matter is now the subject of legal proceedings, you are obliged to disclose under the Civil Procedure Rules, the information and documents detailed below.

 

The information must be furnished within fourteen days of the receipt of this letter. If you fail to comply, this will be reported to the Court, a copy of this letter will be provided as evidence to the same and an Order enforcing your compliance will be sought.

 

1. A true copy of the executed credit agreement and any terms and conditions that applied to the account at the time of default and at the time the account was opened.

2. All records you hold on me relevant to this case, including but not limited to:

 

a. Transcriptions of all telephone conversations recorded and any notes made in relation to telephone conversations by your company, or by any previous creditor

b. Where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my account formerly held with *********.(AMEND TO THE COMPANY NAME)

c. True copies of any notice of assignment and/or default notice or enforcement notice that you or the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

d.Documents relating to any insurance added to the account, including the insurance contract and terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted (if applicable).

e. Details of any collection charge added to the account; specifically, the date it was levied, the amount of the charge, a detailed financial breakdown of how the charge was calculated, and what the charge covers.

f. Specific details of the fees/charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees/charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees/charges were levied.

h. A list of third party agencies to whom you have disclosed my personal data and a summary of the nature of the information you have disclosed.

i. Copies of statements for the entire duration of the credit agreement.

 

3. Any other documents you seek to rely on in court.

 

 

I will require this information within the next fourteen days. I must advise you that if the information is not forthcoming, it will be reported to the Court that you are trying to frustrate proceedings and denying me the opportunity to file a defence and counter claim.

 

Yours sincerely,

ok....

 

well you can dispute the debt on grounds that there is no enforceable consumer credit agreement, it can be disputed that the prescribed terms are not on the agreement and if need be then you can dispute it on the grounds that there are a large amount of excessive charges that have been added to the account.....but you need to keep to the timescales....you are writing to them to make sure they are able to enforce the debt, and you ask judge to throw them out if they do not provide you with the paperwork you have requested in the above letter (CPR = Civil Procedure Rules)

I am now doing the online forms for the court bit.

 

Question though.... Am I contesting all of the claim? and also am I contesting the jurisdiction of the court?

 

Any help 42Man will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there

 

RE Contesting jurisdiction

 

this is only relevent if you feel the court does not have the right to hear such claim or it is out side of the courts area

 

in this instance if you have a claim issued against you in the county court for monies under a contract then it is highly unlikely that you have grounds to contest the courts jurisdiction

 

you need to acknowledge the claim and at this stage, in the absence of the requested documents i would possibly defend all of the claim

 

 

regards

paul

Thanks guys for all your help....the form will be done and I really do appreciate what you have advised. If left to me I would have no chance, so more than a glimmer of hope will be a plus.

 

Let you know how it goes.

Form complete (online - copy printed off) and now I suppose I await the response - if I do not hear from Phoenix in 12 +2 then it is a step in the right direction.

 

Hopefully the are going to be a little snowed under with other paperwork.

 

Cheers

Well,

 

Guess what - obviously received no reply from Phoenix.

I have a POD for ther recorded letter.

 

Question - Do I know go into the defense section of the online moneyclaim section and tell the court to throw it out of court and the reasons why? i.e they have prevented my defense and also they have no right under CPR?

 

They have failed to provide any info and it has been over 14 days (letter signed for on the 5th March.)

 

I know need to knwo the next step - so please could you help once again.

 

Many Thanks

Bluetiny:)

Hi Blackman F

 

Whats your story and how whats happened so far. I have to put my defence together now, as Marlin have defaulted on my CPR part 18 requests, but registered defaults anyway. The bank has refused to send information against my CCA request as I did not sign the CCA request - Can they do this, any ideas anyone as I now have less than 2 weeks left to file a defence

When you say the bank have refused to send information against my CCA request....what does that mean?...Are you saying they have refused to send a copy of the agreement?......of so then what are they going to produce in court?

Hi B3rty

They wrote that I had not signed the request and that my address was not the same as they had on record, which is strange since my address has not changed in 34 years. They sent a cheque back for the £10 and said I have to go into the bank to sign for the request. Can they use no signature as an excuse?
