Name of the Claimant ? - school's name Date of Issue - 26 Jan 2021 The claimant is a provider of educational services who entered into an agreement with the Defendant for the provision of said services. Under this agreement the Claimant provided the Defendant with services in total sum of £3000 which the Defendant has failed to pay nor given any indication was to when payment can be expected.

I believe my ex-wife has received correspondence, but don't know how compliant it is. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? - technically before that, but I did not inform them, so.... Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? - yes they were informed several months ago Is the claim for - school fees When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? - I am not exactly sure. Probably about July 2007? First child entered in September 2007. Second child (subject of claim) later. But don't know how many agreements exist. Do you recall how you entered into the agreement - probably signed something? Is the debt showing on your credit reference files - no Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim - original creditor. debt collector is involved as the 'solicitor's address' Why did you cease payments? - change of financial circumstances What was the date of your last payment? - January 2020 Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? - some issues with limited education because of covid Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? - yes, no If you have not already done so – send a CCA request to the claimant for a copy of your agreement - not applicable I think? --- next step presumably would be to get a copy of the agreement under which the fees are claimed? -

Oh well that puts an end to the idea of the sheriffs. May as well stick to the idea of getting them enforced separately -
The proposed move would mean British families would be able to pay for their average weekly grocery bill, £56.60 in 2019, or fill up a 55-litre Ford Focus, which costs around £65, without a Pin. View the full article

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON at mediation full amount **
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
