I had a letter last week from Bryan and Carter saying they are legal representation of Lowell Portfolio 1 Ltd and that I have an outstanding O2 Phone Bill from 04/2009 for £460. They said if I did not pay up they would issue a CCJ against me.

 

I gained a copy of my credit report and noticed there was a default dated 03/04/2010 from Lowell.

 

2 weeks later (Yesterday) I had a claim form come through from the court with a CCJ notice to which I have limited time to reply for the amount of £582

 

I called Bryan and Carter and asked for a copy of the credit agreement and they were very rude I said I did not recognise the debt and needed more details to investigate the issue.

 

Can they do this or is there any other way around this other than paying the money without even seeing a copy of the credit agreement?

 

Thanks for your time reading this.

They don't have to supply a CCA for a phone debt. But they have to evidence the debt and anything mentioned in their particulars of claim.

 

If you had an unpaid bill from April 2009, it should be statute barred and the default date in 2010 is wrong. If you are sure about the account being unpaid in 2009, you can defend on tbe basis that the debt is subject to statute of limitations and that the claimant is held to strict proof by way of original creditors statements of account in regard to an accurate default date.

We could do with some help from you.

It would be helpful to get hold of confirmation from 02 of when the last unpaid bill was and when this would have been in default under the accounts terms and conditions. If you can get 02 to confirm this, then you can defend with 100% certainty that the debt is statute barred, so cannot be subject to court enforcement. And Bryan Carters are then likely to not proceed.

We could do with some help from you.

Actually.. Im going to step in and ask a few more questions. When is the debt from? This WILL Determine whether a CCA Request is required for this account.

 

As a general rule of thumb, CCAs are not required for Utilities accounts, but O2 set up the Refresh Tariffs where your phone is paid aside of your airtime under a Consumer Credit Agreement.

 

If you can remember if the account was subject to it, then it could mean you may have to tweak any defense that you reply with.

Acknowledge the claim on MCOL and state you will be defending the claim in full. The sooner you do this the better, and then send in a Statute Barred defence - it will then be up to Carters/Lowells to provide documentation otherwise.

 

Its a bit too late to do a CCA request to all parties although it would be helpful to do one.

Can you remember this unpaid 02 account ?

 

You seem to be unsure about it.

 

If so, try to get an 02 reference number or details from Bryan Carters, so you can make enquiries with 02. I suspect that 02 have deleted you from current systems and you will need to ask them for information from archived old accounts using any reference number you find out.

 

See what you can find out and post back.

You CANT Send a CCA Request if the Account wasn't subject to it. You need to FIND out!

If it wasnt subject to a CCA then it wont work!

Try staying off the phone unless you can record the conversations. As you have already found Carter is extremely unhelpful.

 

Use the CPR route and you will get a more beneficial response.

sounds like its SB'd

 

 

go ack [aos] the claim on mcol website

 

 

then when you are ready

 

 

file the SB defence

 

 

The following defence is all you need if it is SB

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (insert date).

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the limitation act 1980.

.

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

.

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

.
