Hi and thanks ahead to anyone who can take the time to advise me. Firstly im not even sure how to use this but im hoping someone can direct me in the right direction.

 

I recieved a letter from Bryan Carter a few days ago telling me that they have applied to the court to issue me for a outstanding balance with jd williams, but on behalf of Lowell Finacial. Myself and husband struggled a few years ago and did have a few accounts but to be honest this one does not ring a bell and definetly not for £1365 as they are stating we owe. Iv never had a credit limit over 250.

 

After reading many posts on hear i decided to wait for the arrival of the ccc and sure it arrived today . I acknowledged the claim on line and said that i am defending the whole thing. ( sorry not good with the correct terminology).or spelling lol .

 

Anyway i have copied out the cpr letter and intend to send it asap recorded del in the morning.

 

My questions are what is the next step . I have no correspondance from this account and cant even recall it , and on the cc papers it states this:-

 

THE CLAIM IS FOR 1365.88 THE AMOUNT DUE UNDER AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR AND THE DEFENDANT TO PROVIDE FINANCE AND / OR SERVICES AND / OR GOODS. THIS DEBT WAS ASSIGNED TO / PURCHASED BY LOWELL PORTFOLIO LTD ON 20/12/12 AND NOTICE SERVED PURSAUANT TO THE LAW OF PROPERTY ACT 1925 , PARTICULARS JDWILLIAMS , THE CLAIMANT ALSO CLAIMS INTEREST PURSUANT TO S69 COUNTY COURT ACT 1984 FROM 20/12/2012 TO DATE AT 8% PER ANNUM AMOUNTING TO 87.89.

 

Any advice will be gratly recieved. I also would like to add i am a person who never signs agreements so i know this definetly would be the case. They wont have a signiture off me .

Can you check your credit file to see if this debt appears on it.

 

 

If so, check addresses as well to see if you have been given an address you have never lived at.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Dear all sorry to intrude on your question but i am a newbie and did post a question weeks ago with no reply so assume ive did it wrong, oops. I am having exact same problem . and identical letter. i acknowleded on line the day i recieved the court letter and disputed it all that was the 19th dec. I only sent the cpr letter to bryan carter 2days ago recorded. I have given them 7 days to provide me with the letters phone calls agreement ( which was never signed ) so i know they dont pocess and default notice. But again im the same as you i left in the other particulars , will this hinder this in anyway???. any help i will be eternally greatful.

 

Thank you for taking the time to help me. I had a letter from Bryan carter before christmas saying they had issued a claim in the county court for a outstanding cataloge debt over a thousand pounds. I cannot recall this as i paid off all my debts 2 years ago. It is possible but i have no correspondance from this company or the original creditors. I have disputed the whole amount , sent of the acknowlegment to the court on the 19th of Dec and sent a letter requesting bryan carter sends me the original credit agreement and any other documents concerning this account so i could build a defence. I have given him 7 days and it did state i would pay for copying but forgot to enclose a postal order. I have not heard back from him and it is 9 days today. I want to know what to do next please. Many thanks Nad

Hi , so what is the next step does anyone know , I saw someone had a letter of bryan carter after sending request for doc saying that they do not have these and that we should have these.

 

 

Time is going on and i need to take the second step can anyone help. Also do you have to appear at court if you are defending the claim ?.

 

 

I need to add this is under my husbands name and i am doing all the legal work wanted to know if the court would speak to me also did i have to send a copy of the letter to the courts?... sorry to bombard with questions but i am worrying.

 

 

thanks again Nadine

Dear all i have posted a few thread but without response , iam a newbie and am pretty rubbish at things like this , so hoping someone will see this. Ill begin by saying me and hubby had alot of debt a few years ago that overtook us , we managed to settle these.

 

 

Then on the 19th Dec we recieved a letter from bryan carter and the court saying he had issued a claim against us for lowell fincial for goods obtained by my husnband , and the amount 1334 pounds. I can honestly say we cant recall this one but it could have easily been overlooked as we had many creditors.

 

I acknowledged the cliam online and sent a cpr request . i asked for the original agreement and any other satements ect. I did say i would pay for copying but forgot to include a postal order. i also did this recorded delivary. But its 10 days and iv dtill not heard back from them.

 

My question is what is my next step and do i have to appear in court to defend this or can i do it all via posting ect. Also i have seen a template that bryan carter send out in response to a cpr request and its basically saying that the blame falls on the person who opened the credit , as we should have kept letters ect and that they would still pursue,

 

i would be most gratefull if someone could guide me through this awful ordeal as my husband and myself have worked so hard to get out of the debt cycle and have stayed out and on track for 2 years now , really dont want to go back here.

 

many thanks please excuse spelling and lack off knowlegde im useless .

Hi andy , i acknowledged my defence on the 19th dec the same day irecieved it. I have just had a response back from bryan carter .

we write further to your letter dated 3rd january requesting disclosure under part 31 of the civil procedure rules.

We confirm the claim form was issued by the northampton county court bulk centre and that the courts protcol was followed when issuing the claimants particulars of claim. Practice direction 7c point 1.4 (3a) eliminates the requirements to attach the documents to the particulars of claim when they are issued by this court.

 

We confirm this matter will most proberly be allocated to the small cliams track as this is a simple contractual matter and part 31 of cicil proceedure rules will therefore not apply.

 

In the event the notices of default and assignment left the control of the claimant when they were despatched to you.

 

It is the original creditors policy to issue agreements at the date of contract and statments throughout the duration of the agreement and , in this reguard we as you to refer to your own records.

 

bryan cartyer

 

so , whats my next step and sorry not sure the next thing to do . many thanks andy your a life saver

Defence

 

 

 

1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

 

2.Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had an agreement in the past with xxxxx but any alleged balance is and remains in dispute for faulty goods/services.

 

 

3.Paragraph 2 is denied I am unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served .

 

4.It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of assignment/balance/breach requested by CPR 31. 14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 

(a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement with the Claimant; and

(b) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for; and

© show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim;

 

5.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

6.On the alternative, if the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

 

7.By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

 

8.Theclaimant has failed to comply with my requests for disclosureentirely and it is suggested that such failure highlights that thereis no case for me to answer. It has proven difficult to compose thisdefense without disclosure of the information requested, especiallygiven that I am Litigant in Person.

 

9.Since the claimant hasfailed to comply with the request for disclosure as outlined in point6, it is requested the court consider striking out the claimantstatement of claim as failing to disclose reasonable grounds forbringing the claim.

 

10.I further ask the court consider striking out the claimants case asit fails to comply with part 16 and practice direction 16 insofarthat no documents have been supplied and fails to show anyconsideration to the overriding objective to allow the court to dealwith this case justly.

 

11.Alternatively,I respectfully request a stay in proceedings until such time as theclaimant complies with the requests outlined in point 6 above oruntil the court orders its compliance with the same. I will then bein a position to file a fully particularised defense and counterclaimand will seek the courts permission to amend my statement of caseaccording

 

Sorry i copied and pasted this and onfact i think you wrote this as it said andy at the end.

 

 

Do i have to delete claimant and put my husbands name in there or refer to as i ect ect

 

 

. many thanks for your time andy . ps also there was something about a n244 ????

I think you need to expand on the reason of why you dispute it rather than simply " faulty goods /services "

 

 

Apart from point 8 that you have added 9/10/11 are repetitive and and the court will ignore.

Im afraid its impossible for me to elaborate as to why you don't think you owe this debt and the reasons for defending ...its your dispute.

 

 

The above draft defence is not a template I drafted it for another poster to fit his circumstances ...there is no such thing as a template defence they are all unique.
