Hi all,  a few days ago I received a letter from lowells telling me that court proceedings are being taken ( a bit late for that as I have had the claim form for over a week). I have not heard anything as yet from Lowell solicitors since sending the CPR31:14 off to them. I need to be doing my defence on Mcol website but would appreciate any help on how to word it. Any suggestions would be appreciated guys as I have never done anything like this before. Thanks guys.

Hi all, today I have received documents from lowells after my  Cpr31:14 request. 

On opening they are exactly the same as requested on my pap form and which I have uploaded previously .

They are saying that they will not send any more documentation as it has all been provided.

I am in the process of getting my defence together before submission but there are so many I have read I don't really know which would be the most applicable.

Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Thanks Guys.

well what they send before was well below the required stuff.

defence is not due till/by 4pm may 3rd.

 

so incomplete / failure of previous CCA request simply needs to be added to our std holding /no paperwork defence

re the way to search here detailed in post 33.

 

something like

 

Particulars of Claim

 (1)The Defendant entered into a consumer crediticon Act 1974 regulated agreement with Vanquis under account reference xxxxxxxxxx

 (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 30/09/2014 and notice was given to the Defendant.

 (4)Despite repeated requests for payment, the sum of £1,597.56 remains due and outstanding.

 And the Claimant claims 
 (a)The said sum of £1,597.56 
 (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 £0.350,
 but limited to one year,being £127.80 (costs) then signed by Lowell Solicitors Limited.


 #####Defence######

The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature.

 The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings with with [insert original creditor]  but do not recognise this specific account or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification by way of a CPR 31.14 and section 78 request..

 

 3. Paragraph 2 is denied I have not been served with a Default Notice pursuant to the consumer credit Act 1974.

 

 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. I am unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1)

 

 5. On receipt of the claim form, the Defendant sent a request by way of a section 78 pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, for a copy of the agreement, the Claimant has yet to comply and remains in default of said request.  The claimant has since complied and disclosed various documents however unable to comply with disclosing a valid full copy of the executed agreement on which their claim relies upon.

 

 6. A further request made via CPR 31.14 to the claimants solicitor, requesting disclosure of documents on which the Claimant is basing their claim. The claimant has not complied, but has stated a general extension of time to retrieve the documents, to date nothing has been received.

 

 7. It is therefore not accepted with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant and the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and;
 b) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for and;
 c) show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice pursuant to sec 88 CCA1974
 d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim

 

 8. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the claimants prove the allegation that the money is owed

 

 9. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of section 136 of the Law of Property Act and section 82A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974

 

 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

Hi Guys, the following is the defence i intend to submit. I would be grateful of any suggestions comments.

 

DEFENCE

 

1)The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim as they are vague and generic in nature.I accordingly set out my casebelow and rely on CPR16.5(3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

2) Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had a contractual relationship with Halifax  however i do not recognise the particular account number referred to and have requested a copy of the agreement pertaining to this claim.As of this date, the Claimant has failed to comply with my section 78 request and therefore remains in default of s78.


3) Paragraphs 2 & 3 are denied. The Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of assignment/balance/breach requested by CPR31:14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 

a) show how the Defendant has entered into the agreement with the Claimant and

b) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for and

c) show evidence and service of a Default Notice pursuant to sec 88 of the CCA 1974

d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim.

 

4) On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant to lay claim to contraventions of 136 of the Law of Property Act and section 82a of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

5) By the reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

 

Thanks Guys.

Hi all,

After receiving notification from the court that my defence  has been acknowledged, I have just received a letter from lowells offering settlement/ mediation.

Would they do this if they were sure that they had a cast iron case?.

If I just ignore this, is the next step just to wait to hear from the court, or should I contact them to offer a token payment and stop this going any further. As my credit is very good now and I do believe they don't have all the documentation ie original cca/ original default notice, I really don't want a ccj if it went against me. Thanks guys.

What exactly are Lowells offering...?  Offers of discount or settlement should not be taken as a sign of weakness in the claimants case..It may be purely down to financial costs in proceeding.

 

The court will offer mediation at the next stage of the process when/if you complete the Directions Questionnaire N180...assuming the claimant wishes to proceed......hence their offer before allocation.Both parties will be invited to enter into mediation (ADR) to try to agree an amicable settlement before the claim proceeds to allocation...should mediation fail or not happen the claim will proceed and the claimant will have to pay a hearing fee....so settlement pre mediation pre allocation may be an option for both of you in view of further costs and court resources.

I take your point Andy, they are not offering anything really. So as im reading this my options are to wait for the N180 to arrive from the court  and agree to mediation OR to write to lowells offering a payment plan. Looking at the paperwork they sent me regarding transactions, there is over £ 1000 in interest.
