Hi there- to anyone who can help me in a very frustrating situation.

I am the defendant of a case brought against me by a company who is representing a creditor - to the sum of aprox £3000

The case details are very vague against me to which there were not specific details at all that i could relate to or remember as i have a few very old debts from over 5 years ago that i have had no correspondence with. Before i submitted my defense I sent several letters to the claimant requesting specific details of the account in question so i could identify what debt the claim related to but the claimant did not respond whatsoever. My defense to the court was that the claim was vague and did not specify any specific details relating to me or even an account number and due to no response by the claimant i asked that the case be throw out.

 

My defense was submitted to the claimant - to which the claimant did not reply within the allotted time frame by the court and so the court automatically STAYED the case.

 

It has now been many weeks later - the case is still Stayed and i have recently/ finally received a letter from the claimant saying that - "They are currently in the process of obtaining their client instruction and shall revert to me in due course"

 

I get the impression that they have bought the debt - submitted an ambiguous claim against me in the hope i would ignore it and they would win by default. But they clearly have not complied from day one.

 

Can someone please advise what i can do now as i believe the court seems to be weighted in there favour. Why cant the court take into account the lack of info in the claim and just simply throw it out ? or do i wait indefinitely until the sword of Damocles comes down months and years later?

 

Please can anyone help? Thank you

You wait....either party can make application to lift the stay......as the Defendant you would be wise to leave it ...if the Claimant then the claim proceeds and will be allocated to your local court where you will continue to progress your defence through to disclosure.

 

Regards

 

Andy.
