Hi all

 

I am very worried as I have received a County Court claim form from PRA Group.

This is in relation to an alleged debt they claim to have purchased from MBNA in 2012.

 

I have received various letters from them in the years since then,

several with 'gift vouchers' attached to reduce the alleged debt.

This always led me to believe that they were just angling for contact so I ignored these.

 

I have requested the CCA previously, and after a long delay one was produced, but their written correspondence then reduced.

 

Recently (in June) I received a 'letter before claim as required by the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Protocols' dated 23/6/16.

I responded on 2/7/16 by requesting the CCA again and stating 'I do not acknowledge any debt to your company'.

 

 

I received a further letter from them on 7/7/16 entitled 'Information as requested' and with a CCA attached.

 

However this was followed very shortly by a County Court Claim Form dated 25/7/16.

They are claiming the alleged debt, a court fee and legal costs, plus Statutory Interest.

 

 

I am worried by this and also because they are trying to include Statutory Interest at 8% from 27/11/12 to 22/7/16.

Are they allowed to do this?

I read in other threads this is not allowed to be part of a claim?

 

I have attached their PAP letter,

their response to my CCA request and the CCA,

and the County Court claim form below.

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am really worried about this. :sad:

I'm just drafting my CPR 31.14 letter. Am I right in thinking I can only request documents that are referred to, i.e. in my case the agreement, the notice of assignment, and the default notice?

 

In surfaceagentx20's thread in the Stickies he also mentions the termination notice, but that is not mentioned or implied in their Particulars of Claim (see PDF above page 9). So can I still ask for that? It would have been from the OC not the claimant

 

I am interested to know whether the original MBNA default notice was defective or not, so shall post a copy of that later on today. Hopefully someone can take a look?

if it was sent by first class post then its compliant on time

but if it was sent by UKMAIL[which MBNA uses]

as per the durkin case it fails as ukmail takes atleast 5 days to even get into the PO service.

 

however, I think this might be immaterial here

i'll let the more knowledgeable ones comment should it become necessary.

Yet to actually see a termination notice for a credit card in all my time on CAG as the Default Notice is the termination of the agreement if not complied with.

Not particularly as they will simply state they are the assignee's of the account...and therefore the account has been terminated

Hi, my deadline to submit defence is 27 August as noted above, and they still have not responded to my CPR 31.14 request (it was delivered and I have the signature proof from Royal Mail)... shall I chase them via recorded delivery letter, and if so should I be asking for more time for prep of a defence? Thanks so much.

no response to my CPR 31.14 request and it's been 14 days since they received it.

 

I called them today and said I wanted an extension under CPR 15.5 as they haven't yet produced the docs I requested.

 

They agreed immediately and so this puts back the date for me to put in my defence to 24 September.

 

They emailed me to confirm and I've forwarded this with a covering note to ccbcdefendants email address.

 

I hope I'm doing the right thing..

 

without an extension and giving them more time to produce documents,

I have no way to mount a defence.

 

(Except for this 'embarrassed defence' I've read about and that doesn't seem a good idea) Any thoughts people..?

where did we advise to do that??

 

stupid move to give the claimant more time to magic up cut and paste documents.

 

not sure what age of post you are reading

and if you are even reading that from here

but the idea of not being able to file anything

because of no CCA/CPR returns and having to file an [now out of date] embarrassed defence when out the window years ago.

 

there are literally hundreds of thread here with the holding/no paperwork defence

that usually results in a stay or even better the claimant discontinuing...

I am trying my best to help myself here, and yes I have searched the threads.

 

 

I have very little experience in these matters and so if I have stuffed up then I guess what happens next I have coming to me.

 

 

That is the sentiment I read in your reply?

If your previous response had maybe hinted what to look for (instead of just replying 'no and no')

then maybe I could have directed my search better.

 

 

Sorry for any offence.

wont offend me

we have large bailing buckets and large corks too.

 

 

quite rightly

theres no getting away from it being a self help site..

but typically and you might have seen this already

 

 

people ask .... should I do this or that before they actually do it

not walk the plank holding a cannon ball.

 

 

i'm wondering if you can recall that email or WHY and the ring the court tomorrow and say disregard it

the claimant was playing games with you because you rang them.

 

 

see what andy or someone says.

 

 

the bottom line issue you have

is this is almost a £10k MBNA debt

that's just below the fast track limit

and with the sneaky sec 69 interest PRA are claiming

[which they should do because its not even been judged yet!]

 

 

that makes it fast track

 

 

and the take out date of 2008 for the card.

that put it in the realms of a recon agreement is ok

so PRA can just about come out with any ole twaddle to make up an 'copy' agreement.

 

 

was this an online sign up?

do you remember?

Sorry about earlier, my deadline for submitting a defence was Saturday 27th (so tomorrow) and not being in receipt of any documentation to create a defence I panicked. You're right about that. I walked into that one

 

Because the time is now so short I have probably painted myself into a corner. Now having read that CCBC take up to 5 days to process emails, I'm thinking I've stuffed up.

 

Do you reckon there is still time to withdraw my email to CCBC and submit a no paperwork defence?

 

It was an online application yes.

Copy of email from PRA (claimant) this afternoon…

 

I write further to our telephone conversation today and can confirm that the matter has been placed on hold until 25 September 2016 whilst we await further documentation from the original vendor.

 

Upon receipt of the original documentation we will send a copy to you by post. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have anything further to discuss.

 

Kind regards,

You can still submit your defence tomorrow if you wish...CPR 15.5 is basically an agreement between parties and not binding on the court or time frame of the claim.
