Hi,

I have just received a letter from the county court about a credit with Santander

which I have not paid as there is a dispute between me and them.

 

I purchased a laptop from comet and Santander provided the credit.

 

After few months I took it back for repair as it was still under manufacturers warranty

unfortunately comet went bust and

I couldn't get my laptop back as its under administration.

 

Santander called and I explained to them the situation

but they have refused to listen and

 

the letter that I have received is from debt collection agency they have sold the debt to them.

 

My question is what are my chances of winning or defending this in county court

as I cannot pay for something that I don't have or should I ask them to come to an understanding

so that I can pay some of the debt.

 

The laptop was £400 but now the debt is £650

Can I ask. When Cmet went bust, what did the administrators say?

 

You say a 'letter' from the county court. Is it a claim form and if so can you print out verbatim what it states without identifying yourself

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

It is a county claim,

 

the administrator said I should fill a from online to make a claim

which they will pay suppliers and then the bottom pile i.e. people with less claim.

 

The claim states the claimant's claim is for 526 being monies owed due from the defendant to the claimant

under a regulated credit agreement made in writing under ref xxxxxx.

 

The defendant has failed to make payment.

post up that 'letter' please

 

**you can post up images/letters by this method immediately..you don't need 10 posts**

.

set your default scan page size to A4 less than 300DPI [150 will do]

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets - as a picture[jpg] file

don't forget you can use a mobile phone or a digital camera too!!

'

BUT......

ENSURE: remove all pers info inc. barcodes etc

but leave all monetary figures and dates.

convert existing PC files to PDF [office has an installable print to PDF option]

it would be better to upload a multipage pdf if

you have many images too rather than many single pdfs

.

or if you have PDF as an installed printer drive use that

or use word and save as pdf

Another question. Was this a personal loan you took out with Santander to then go to Comet and buy the laptop OR did you sign up in store?

 

You have 3 choices with the court papers

 

1 Admit the debt

 

2 Partially admit the debt

 

3 Defend

 

I would go for option 3 as if you go with the other two, you end up with a CCJ. At least with option 3 you have a chance of winning.

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

If there is no connection between Comet and the credit then the laptop has no bearing on the court claim.

if I cant find the agreement what should I do next

 

Request a copy from Santy either by a section 77/78/79 request or DSAR but the latter can take up to 40 days...but you should request a section 77/78/79 HP anyway once in receipt of a court claim.

 

You can also research the internet and see if the credit is still offered and if the T&Cs are available to download.

You must reply & fill in the form that you wish to defend at this earlier stage

so the claimants can see that you wish to defend.

 

You must request that you wish to have the hearing at your local county court.

 

The second stage is that the claimants have to pay more money to file for the hearing,

you will received another form to fill in to put your defends through.

 

It will go through differenct stages.

 

If its a big company taking you to court, there have to have a solicitors ,

they cannot put a member staff to repersent them

 

I went through something similiar last year and i had to defend a claim against me.

MBNA tried to sue me, but they decided to withdraw three weeks beforecourt hearing,

because they not provide me with the copy of their contract that i had with them.

 

But you must remember fill in the form now and sent it back if you dont the claimants will get the judgment in their favour.
