Can you please let me know the date of issue of the claim form please - you will find this top right hand corner of the claim form.

 

There is a time line which you will need to adhere to..

 

Date of issue ?? + 5 days for service (counting the date of issue as day 1) = ???

Plus 14 days to acknowledge = ??

Plus 14 days to submit defence = ??

 

33 days from the date of issue (counting the date of issue as day 1)

 

You have acknowledged the claim, but I suspect you have left it very late to ask for further help, so if you can let us know the date, then we can work out how much time you have left.

The following is a defence proposed by Andyorch on a similar claim thread. You'll need to adapt it to suit your own particular situation, particularly #2 as you state that you are unaware of having any dealings with the original creditor. Please post your finished defence up here before you submit it though. Also, it would be helpful if you could give us answers to the questions in this thread: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?419198-You-have-received-a-Claim-What-you-need-to-do.-**UPDATED-December-2014**(1-Viewing)-nbsp

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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) It is accepted that I have had financial dealings with Shop Direct in the past but have no recollection of the account details or the amount referred to in this claim.Until such time the climant can disclose the necessary documents that this claim relies upon the claimants claim is denied.

 

3) I am not aware of any Assignment of any alleged debt nor do I have any recollection of any Notice of Assignment pursuant to the law of property act 1925.

 

4) On receipt of the claim I requested copies of any documents or information that would support the claim. The request was made on 19th August 2015 (sent by recorded delivery) by CPR 31.14. The Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of assignment/balance/breach.

 

5.Furthermore I have a made a request under section 78 of CCA1974 for a copy of this agreement. I understand that until their compliance the claimant is unable to request any relief or enforce any agreement.

 

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

 

7) Therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 

(a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement or contract; and

(b) show what finance and / or services and/ or goods they refer to;

(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;

 

8) As per Civil Procedure rule 16.5(4) it is expected that the claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

10) By reason of the facts and matters above it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

Hi Andy,

 

I would like add this in the defence for point 3

 

3.The Defendant failed to maintain the contractual payment under the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served and not complied with.

 

 

a)The Claimant has mentioned the credit Agreement, the default Notice and

 

the assignment in its Statement of Case and yet it has provided none of these

 

documents despite my entitlement to inspect these documents.

 

 

Please let me know it is okay.

 

Regards,

Charan

Something along the lines of......

 

Paragraph 3 is denied. I refer you to my point 2 above as the claimant has yet to clarify any details of the alleged agreement.
