Hello,

 

I've got a claim form from Northampton Court Bulk centre, claiming total amount of £290 including:l amount claimed £225, Court Fee £15.00, Solicitor's costs 50.00, if I don't pay them I will get a CCJ. But when I called them they said that owe them £900 on the top of this. They said they purchased my debt from City Bank - I had a credit card and have not being contacted in the last 2-3 years regarding this.

I spent few hours reading the posts in the Debt recovery forum and I am very impressed how many people are sympathetic and want to help.

I sent the letter requesting the credit agreement and the SAR letter to the original lender with recorded delivery including postal orders for £1 and £ 1,. also filled the ackgnowledgment form and sent it 1st class recorded delivery to the court. What I have to do now? What is the next step? Before the court. Before this Claim form from the court I got a 72hr notice of litigation letter stating that I owe them £900. Why they only claim a small amount ,being instalment areas' and is this right?

Thank you.

First you must respond online and acknowledge the claim stating you intend to defend all of the claim. That gives you more time and you will get help on here to defend it. If they don't supply the CCA etc you then submit an embarassed defence due to not having sight of the documents the claim relies on.

Hello,

also filled the ackgnowledgment form and sent it 1st class recorded delivery to the court. What I have to do now? What is the next step?

 

The CCA request will take time and the results of the SAR will take too long for your defense but could be useful later on, you have done the right thing so far.

 

The next step will be to send them a request under the civil procedures rules, CPR 31.1 to get all the required documents in time, including the CCA and Note of Assignment, basically all the documents they will rely upon in court. I will try to get an example up but it needs to be tailored to the POC of the claim. Can you scan the court documents with the Particulars of Claim (POC), remove your personal details and post it here? That will make it easier for people to help you.

 

Furthermore, you can use the same CPR document for their letter before action to force them to send the required documents.

 

There are a lot of issues with these people and many of their practices which are not above board. I am sure some of the "HFO experts" will help you as well, but you can check out these links:

You'll then need to send a cpr31.14 request ( and possibly cpr part 18link3.gif ) to solicitors (Turnbull Rutherford?) to receive copies of the documents they will need to rely on in court (cca, default notice, notice of assignment etc). Something like this::

Also have a look at this thread as the poster also has a 'split claim' like yourself

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?270445-HFO-Morgan-Stanley-Debt/page3

 

The advice is:

 

''Inform the court that they are splitting ther claim, which is not allowed, you CANNOT have an unspecified balance left on an agreement after a CCJ has been issued on it. It is a clear abuse of process and needs to be reported to the Court Manager immediately, backed up in writing.

 

They have really left themselves in a deep hole now. You also need to send those particulars of claim to the Solicitors Regulatory Authority as a complaint and to the Ministry of Justice, explaining it is a clear split claim and a total abuse of the system.

 

Then report to Trading Standards, the Information Commissioners Office and the OFT. ''

 

It would be advisable for you to do this also

Hi coledog, can you click my scales as the post is now going 'round' the HFO forum, it is the only way to stop them changing the goalposts.

 

Splitting claims used to be a practice of Bryan Carters and he is notorious for slipping through the net, we can't let anyone else do this as it is illegal, and the more the Solicitors Regulatory Authority and the court system know about this the better.

I have clicked the 'star' is that right? The scales appear to have gone.

 

There have been a number of cases with this 'claim for only part of the money' scenario and not sure the significance of this has been highlighted.

No there is not one specifically, we are going to have to compose one. Along the lines that you have received a claim - details of claim. You are concerned that the claimant is only making a claim for part of the alleged debt leaving an unspecified balance. Perhaps Sillygirl has something?

I am going to copy type what is in the claim, and then the letter:

'The claim is for monies under the interest bearing Credit Agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, which the Defendant entered into with 19/02/2008 on.

The claimant purchased the account and all rights&obligations attaching thereto from the original lender at 31/12/2007. Noti of assignment has been provided to the defendant. The claimant claims 225.00 in this action being instalment arrears due from the defendant under the agreement. In order to avoid any further action the defendant should contact the claimant's solicitor immediately on 0845 606 1560. quoting .... Failure to respond will result in County Court Judgement. On satisfaction of the claim and the costs there will be an unpaid balance to be paid by defendant currently accruing interest at rate 12% per annum.

The claimant believes that the facts in this claim are true and I am duly authorised by the claimant to sign this statement

signed TURNBULL RUTHERFORD

With reference to this claim, you are concerned that there will be an unspecified balance left on the agreement should a CCJ be issued on it and understand that this is an abuse of the legal process. You request that this matter be investigated urgently and look forward to their prompt reply.

 

Send to the Court with copies to Ministry of Justice, OFT, Solicitors Reg body not sure, will have look back through thread.
