Hi All,

 

Thank's for taking the time to read this.

 

I know there's tons of information out there regarding such matters

- and after much research,

I think have a pretty good grasp of what needs to follow,

but I'd really appreciate your advise or any input you have!

 

The low down:

2012, low point in my life, lots of debt (I know, I've had my spanking).

I have a perfect history for over 5 years now

- so it's essential I avoid a CCJ at any cost!

 

The debt was a current account / overdraft.

It was defaulted in late 2012,

on my credit report, it's showing settled with the bank in mid 2015,

and the debt now falls under a new section under the name Lowell,

with a default status as the same 2012 date.

 

I have not made any contact,

nor payments before the default was even issued.

 

Ok, so first of all the claim form:

 

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

Name of Claimant: Lowell Portfolio

 

Date of Issue: 18/12/2017

 

Address for Sending Docs & payments: Lowell Solicitors PO Box

 

Particulars of Claim:

 

Author Document

Debt assigned on XX/XX/15 by

XXXXXXX Banking Group,

and the claimant claims:

1. XXXX

2. Statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the county courts act (1984) at a rate of 8.000%...... etc

Ref: xxxxxxxxxxxxx

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

 

I've purposely masked dates and figures,

but if I've gone too far,

let me know,

and I'll fill in some of the blanks.

 

Point 1 - is just a single figure, of lets say 3500.

Point 2, Mentions the "banking group", but not the actual bank I was with, which is under a completely different name. That's it, nothing more.

As you can see, they have been incredibly vague with the POC - this makes me think they know very little about the debt, and it's just a long shot on their part.

 

Ok, so - generally, my plan of action is:

 

1) Sign into MCO and acknowledge (DONE)

2) Send A CPR 31.14,current account version (I'm not sure they even know it's a current account!) to Lowell solicitors PO Box

3) With the information I receive back - write up a defence.

4) If nothing is received back - Write up my defence, which will include failure to provide info specific to CPR and argue their claim is far too vague.

 

I'm having trouble with the 31.14 - as in examples, you request the documents that are relevant / specified in the POC. But there's no mention of any, no agreements, letters, warning, default notices etc etc - it's so vague, I'm not exactly sure what I should be asking for!

 

I would be so grateful for any advice/input on this! I also apologise as this turned into more waffle than I anticipated!

 

Thank you!

I see what you mean about putting a CPR 31.14 letter together because of the POC.

 

I would say all you could ask for is the Notice of Assignment.

 

As it's an overdraft there is no CCA to request - however you could still possibly request one as you say they don't seem to know it's an overdraft, it would let them chase their tails for a bit, see what others view on this part is before doing so.

There's an 11 digit reference number, but no account number - unless the reference number is an account number of some sort...

 

The POC states LLoyds Banking Group, but the account was with Halifax, so chances are this won't have much effect on anything (as they are part of the Lloyds group)

number doesn't mean anything I can find

must be a stupid DCA number to try and hide the original debt.

 

nothing new for them

though its a removal from lowells usual POC's to give such basic info.

 

obviously trying to hope this would be an uncontested default judgement.

  • 3 weeks later...

Hi All, and Happy New Year!

 

Back again with an update! Lowell solicitors sent me two letters in response to my CPR Request.

 

I've attached the letters, but here's a quick brief:

 

Letter 1

 

Lowells Reference Number: xxxxxxx

Claim Number: xxxxxxx

Original Company Name: Lloyds Banking Group

Original Account Number: xxxxxx (which is the 11 digit number that doesn't appear to reference a bank account or sort!)

Current Balance: xxxxxxx

 

  • Acknowledgement of service has been noted on the account
  • The above referenced matter is in relation to a former halifax current account in 2008
  • last payment received by the original creditor on xx xxx 2012 for the amount of 1500
  • due to the nature of the former agreement, it is not regulated by the consumer credit 1974, not required to retain a copy etc
  • We confirm however that we have requested statements and a copy of the default notice, and when a response is received we shall contact you.
  • The account will remain on hold until such time.

Letter 2 - Dated 2015 - Notice of debt transfer to Lowell

 

  • Formal notice that your outstanding account with Halifax, a division of bank of Scotland, was sold and assigned to Lowell June 2015
  • Details of account is listed on the right
  • details are the same reference, account number, With the amount being approx £400 less (court fees etc have been added since)

So that's what we have. What do you guys recommend from this point on? I'll so some research now, but any advice would be great!

 

My primary goal here is to avoid the CCJ but the one thing I can't do at this point is pay the full cost up front.

 

Does it sound like they have enough evidence to pursue the claim?

I'm not apposed to settling outside of court with a payment plan if this was an option (although I here this can be difficult at this stage)

If I've got my dates right, I have until next Wednesday (17th) to submit a defence, but will likely action something before the end of this week.

 

Again your help is really appreciated, than you muchly!

They haven't sent the NOA from Halifax, any company could send you their letter and say you now owe them the debt

Also they haven't sent the DN either

Start drafting you defence and post it up for the guys to check there are plenty of examples on here for non compliance with CPR
