Lowell/Lowell sols Claimform - old Shopacheck loan 'debt'

[thepalace1]

I hope this is in the right place, please would any mod kindly move if not.

 

I would appreciate any guidance along the way from pple more versed in the small claims court.

Lowell Solicitors have lodged a claim with Northampton, particulars as follows.

 

Issue Date:

18-1-2016

Amount approx:

under £600

Claimant:

Lowell Portfolio 1 LTD

Solicitor:

Original Credit:

Particulars of Claim:

1) The defendant entered into a Consumer Credit Act 1974 regulated agreement with Shopacheck under account reference ******** ("the agreement").

 

2) The defendant failed to maintain the required payments and a default notice was served and not complied with.

 

3) The agreement was later assigned to the claimant on **/**/2012 and notice given to the defendant.

 

 

4) Despite repeated requests for payment, the sum of *** remains due and outstanding.

 

 

And the claimant claims

 

a) The said sum of ***

What I have done so far:

 

 

 

1) Acknowledgement of service - Online MCOL Website (20/01/2016)

2) Sent CCA REQUEST - £1 postal order - Signed For Post (21/01/2016) - Lowell Portfolio I Ltd

3) Sent CPR 31.14 - Requesting Default Notice, CCA Agreement and assignment - Signed For Post (21/01/2016) - Lowell Solicitors

 

 

I

Cannot for the life of me remember having shopacheck, but then again in 2012 my head was up my proverbial **** as my mother died that year.

 

I have never received any default notice from Shopacheck or Lowells, I am very good with paperwork/documents/post, everything that comes that is official if filed in ring binder boxes...

 

If I had received any default notice I would have acted.

 

Also, I never received any letter from Shopacheck / Lowells to inform me that the debt has been re-assigned.

 

I am not denying the loan but also am not accepting it as I just do not know, what I do know is I have had 20 + loans from shopacheck in the past since circa 2000 , so do have a financial history with the company

I have looked through any/all paper work kept from previous loans but cannot find details of the one they are referring to with the reference number they gave me in the Particulars of Claim.

 

 

So, as of 15/02/2016, Lowell Portfolio I Ltd have not replied to the CCA, Lowell Solicitors did reply to the CPR stating they are requesting the documents but that is as far as it went, they refused to answer my question asking for an agreement to extend the time for filing defence.

 

Last night I filed my defence in time for the 15/02/2016 defence deadline. the defence was along the lines of this link

 

Thanks to anyone who can help with guidance along the way

Kind words indeed...I would rather not make comment on the defence you submitted as it has now been submitted....so lets see if they respond or whether the claim is stayed.

So, it is now 11/03/2016, it has been 25 days since I submitted my defence, What happens now, I read somewhere that they have 28 days to respond.....

 

Do I need to do anything my self on day 28? do I ask the court to strike the claim out? what would be my next move?

 

Thanks

next move is the claimants

 

 

the claim becomes autostayed 33 days from your defence filing date.

And then after 33 days can I ask the court to strike it out?

And then after 33 days can I ask the court to strike it out?

 

No ...nothing to strike out until a claim has been allocated to track.

Hi,

update is that the court have asked for me to complete a DQ (Directions Questionaire) what should I put in this.

 

 

As stated I deny the debt,

Lowell and their solicitors have not responded to anything I have sent them be it a CCA or CPR,

 

 

any help would be great
