And the claimant claims

b) Interest pursuant to s69 County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue, accruing at a daily rate of £0.295, but limited to one year, being £81.25

c) costs

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Yes about a year ago or more

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ? No

Why did you cease payments? I was very young and stupid, occurred debt and burred my head in the ground.

What was the date of your last payment? I am finding this out

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor

Yes I entered into a DMP and started making payments but fell off of that

Just looking through the processes now, I read somewhere that a county court claim can't be issued for mobile contracts? Doubt that is true though.

 

If only I could revert to the beginning and continue making monthly payments to Vodafone or setup an agreement with Lowell but past that stage now. Not sure what to do.

 

I haven't yet acknowledged the claim as not sure what to put. Last thing I need is a CCJ as I am gradually paying off debts now.

Incorrect pizzadeal a CCA request (section 77/78 is not applicable to mobile contracts) its a service agreement not a credit consumer agreement...

OK. Claim has been acknowledged and defended in full, I left jurisdiction unticked.

 

Just sent a CPR 31:14 to the solicitor via recorded delivery, they should pick it up on Monday (hopefully).

 

Anything else I need to do or just wait to hear back from them?

 

I probably will end up just paying this in full, right?

Do you actually agree that you owe £1,348.02...that's a lot of money for a mobile phone account?

No I don't agree but there is not much that can be done now its got to this stage. The original amount was much more lower than that IIRC. However, I don't have or retained any documents from Vodafone or other DCA so I will have to rely on what they provide.

 

Maybe I could of got some information from Lee on this forum but it doesn't look likes he has been on for a while?

Is it too late to go to Lowell with a payment arrangement to avoid a CCJ?

Update...

 

I received a letter today after acknowledging the claim and it says:

 

Notice of Claim Issue

 

We have now issued Legal Proceedings in the form of a County Court Claim which you should have received already directly from the Northampton County Court.

 

(breakdown of debt)

 

Call our team today to discuss paying the outstanding balance. If you are unable to make this payment in full we can discuss options for a repayment plan for you.

 

............If I go for this and call them can they cancel the county court claim?

Do not contact them! Do not worry! The claim has been issued now, so there's nothing to lose from challenging the claim. You will at worst probably drastically reduce the amount owed, and at best, win the whole case.

 

If you read around the forum, you'll soon see that many of these claims are, as DX says, totally speculative and rely on naive defendants not contesting the claim.

 

All the help you need is right here.

So I didn't file a defence but did acknowledge the claim saying I will be defending, I have left the claim and I presume its just sitting there, no CCJ or anything as have checked. Is there a time when it expires?

 

However, before the date that was required to file a defence, I sent an email to Lowell and this was there reply:

 

Dear.............

 

 

 

Thank you for your email. Please accept our apologies for the delayed response.

 

 

 

From the account being allocated to us on the 08 February 2016 up until the 01 April 2016, when the county Court claim was issued you were sent numerous letters advising you to contact us and make an arrangement. Due to lack of communication within this time period a claim was issued against you on 01 April 2016.

 

 

 

As this stage as the county Court Claim is outstanding and you are require to read this fully and respond as appropriate. To prevent the judgment being registered against you at this stage, we would require substantial information as to why this should not be entered – offering payment at this stage is not a valid reason not to enter judgment due to the timescales stated above where no contact was made by you.

 

 

 

If no response is received within 14 days, we may enter a Judgment by default against you. This could make it difficult for you to obtain credit, mortgages or even some employment while it remains unsatisfied on your credit file for a maximum of 6 years.

 

 

 

If you wish to speak with a member of our team, please telephone us between 8:00am and 8:00pm Monday to Friday or between 8:00am and 2:00pm Saturday on 0113 335 3334.

 

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

My email....

 

Hello,

 

 

 

I receive numerous letters from you stating that if I contact you I can come to a payment arrangement with yourselves that will put the CCJ claim on hold. However, when I contact you, this is not the case and I have been demanded to pay the full balance due.

 

 

 

I am willing to work with you, but cannot make payments to clear the balance in only 6 months. If we cannot come to any sort of arrangement then sadly I will have to submit a defence (I just want to work with you - how hard can that be?).

 

 

 

The letters you keep sending me are pointless if we can't come to some kind of payment arrangement. Possibly one which is legally binding that if I fail to keep payments then the CCJ will be laid.

 

 

 

I have a DMP but you are not part of it as I want to make bigger payments to you (not smaller).

 

Any ideas on what to do now?
