Hi,

Looking for a little advice on how to proceed,I

 

I have received a CC claim form from Amex\Brachers regarding an outstanding balance on my former Amex Corp Card.

 

I got made redundant in January 2014, before leaving the company I submitted my remaining expenses to the company for payment (The company paid Amex dues directly).

 

I calculated my personal expenditure approx £2500 and paid this directly to Amex in February 2014 and

 

I received my redundancy payment at the end of February.2014.

In March I received a letter for late payment charges on an outstanding balance of £4415.41,

 

I responded to them that I had submitted expenses to cover this amount with my former employer and did not hear anything else

 

until April where I was contacted by Amex claiming to be the debt recovery department and asking when I would be settling my outstanding balance.

 

I explained as before that i submitted expenses to cover this amount, and that they should take the matter up with my former employer,

 

after a lot more call repeating the same information, I attempted to contact my former manager, the personnel department and the expenses department via the contact method for ex-employees.

 

After a lot more emails (the only method on communication they accept)

It was confirmed that my expenses although submitted were not paid as my former manager who is from Belgium had declined to approve them

 

. My manager has refused to comment on this despite email phone calls & Txt's. The personnel department will not get involved as I am now not an employee.

 

I repeated this information back to Amex who said they would contact my former employer for clarification,

 

I was then sent a list of statements by Amex detailing the outstanding balance and a demand for payment and a hefty interest/latepayment charges. This conversation has continued and continued,

 

Brachers then got involved and even suggested that I should sue my former employee for the money !

 

I am not in a position to pay the outstanding amount,

my former employer is refusing to get involved,

I have also learnt that former manager has now left.

 

I am getting nowhere. I am still out of work with many other debts starting to pile up and this driving me insane.

 

Any ideas on how would i file this as a defence for the CC, would this be accepted as a defence or am i wasting my time get the ccj and offer a £1 a month until restart work (hopefully soon).

 

Regards

 

Polymath

You advise that the date of issue of the claim is 15th July 2015.

 

Timeline is as follows:

 

Date of issue 15.07.2015 + 5 days for service = 19.7.205 + 14 days to acknowledge = 02.08.2015 + 14 days to submit defence = 16.08.2015

 

If you have not already done so, you MUST acknowledge the claim today (it should have been done yesterday). You can do this online using the password and claim reference to be found on the claim form.

 

I will alert others on the site team who will be able to help further.

Hi,

 

The card had my name with company name underneath, and was marked corporate card. It was used for all related expenditure connected with business, this was settled directly by company to amex on receipt of completed claims forms, any other 'personal' expenditure was settled directly by me.

OK, Long time no action...

 

Returned defense which was submitted on time.

 

Received a pack on Friday with the court date, (set as my local court) on the 10th of November 2015, this contained a statement from the solicitors, statements from my card use, copies of letters from solicitors to me.It also contained a copy the initial agreement signed by me, however unlike my original copy the top is very dark and you cannot see the text "joint & several liability". It also contains a copy of Thompson V London, Midland & Scottish Railway, court of appeal documentation 14 May 1929.

 

I received another letter today (without prejudice save as to costs) asking if terms can be agreed we could avoid court action.

 

Regards

Are you able to prove that the expenses were company expenses - is there going to be any reference to the Manager not signing off on these, and his reasons why not ?
