How shall I defend / respond to this

they seem to be using bully tactics and fishing for me to pay up the full amount which I don't have.

 

in March last year they sent me a full and final settlement letter asking for £1680.37

I counter offered £1200

they refused it and said they would only take £1945 which is bizarre.

 

PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT,

I questioned this on another forum and was told the wording is not right and the balance should be zero.

 

If you have not already done so – send a CCA Request to the claimant for a copy of your agreement

(except for Overdraft/ Mobile/Telephone accounts)

 

Will Do !

 

Particulars of Claim

An Egg CC debt £4793.79 + court costs I went into arrears in 2010 after a head injury and have been making monthly payments. Egg was bought by Barclaycard since then and then they assigned/sold the debt to the PRA group 17/08/2015.

 

I have been paying without missing a payment but have not done their constant requests for income and expenditure.

I got a letter November 13th say my account had been transferred to the investigations and litigation department which I ignored.

 

Thanks for your help I don't have long to respond to this claim

[renegadeimp]

Request the CCA and CPR from the solicitors.

 

its unlikely theyll get a compliant egg agreement from that far back. Most simply dont exist. Plus the debts are chock full of charges.

 

First, go to mcol and acknowledge the claim, make sure contest jurisdiction is unchecked and click through to the end and exit mcol. This submits your acknowledgement and gives you more time for a defence.

 

The likely reason theyve gone to a claim is because youve blindly paid without question for all this time, and they have you marked as gullible. Put them to proof that they can indeed chase you for this.

[Steve.H]

Thank you for the reply dx100uk,

 

I was away but I still have until Monday I think as its 5 days + 14 ??

[renegadeimp]

Get that ack done now. Then check to see if its been accepted.

[dx100uk]

I make it sunday but get it done NOW

get the CCA/CPR away to PRA group tomorrow by recorded.

they'll have a job in getting the signed agreement [unless it was online?]

and the EGG T&C they never get right either.

 

esp as they say its a Barclaycard in their poc!!

they mention nothing about EGG on the court N1 do they?

[renegadeimp]

and dont tell them it was egg. If they try to come up with a barclaycard agreement, theyve already done the work for you and the claims sunk.

[Steve.H]

Kewl I have submitted my acknowledgement on MCOL and might even send the CCA special delivery as it will get their Monday guaranteed

 

Thank you my friend !!

[dx100uk]

and the CPR in the same envelope

pra have inhouse solicitors so no sep address is listed on the N1 form?

[Steve.H]

Sorry what is a CPR do you have a template please?

[Steve.H]

Also does PRA being assigned mean they own the debt I have read they are not a DCA but purchase the debt?!

[dx100uk]

post 3

 

pra are debt buyers

[Steve.H]

Hi again,

 

I have sent the CCA and CPR via first class signed for which they should receive Monday, I have also acknowledged the claim(AOS) but this has not been approved yet I hope MCOL do this on Monday!

 

But what would my defense be to this claim if they produce the CCA that is?

 

That I was making regular payments under an old agreement and they should not have cancelled it ! Thanks in advance.

[renegadeimp]

Dont jump ahead of yourself just yet. They wont be able to produce the CCA. Why? Because they think its a barclaycard. It isnt. SO theyve already screwed themselves over with it. Of course you dont tell them that. Its also highly unlikely they will even fulfil the CCA request, so the claim will just get stayed.

 

Be aware they may send you letters of their own back saying they have requested judgement, even though the courts timeframe is still in effect. They do this so you dont fill in you side of the claim, and then they WILL go for judgement by default, leaving you with no avenue of counter.

[dx100uk]

need to get reading up steve

as far as I can see you've not read one other claimform thread in this forum.

 

although your defence is not due till day 33 [21st by 4pm]

no harm is finding out the stages of a claim and what to expect/do in the 'downtimes' between stages

[shamrocker]

"What was the date of your last payment?19/12/2018"

 

So, are you still making monthly payments on this debt?

[Steve.H]

Yep I am atm I will have to see how it pans out and what they come back with !

[shamrocker]

How much are you paying them?

[Steve.H]

I am paying £7.28 a month atm.

 

I rang MCOL my AOS has been accepted and the CCA and CPR arrived today signed for ! I have until the 21st to defend the claim.

[shamrocker]

I am paying £7.28 a month atm.

 

What's the history behind this arrangement? Had you agreed it with Barclaycard or PRA?

[Steve.H]

Hi Shamrocker,

 

It was agreed by BC originally!

[Steve.H]

Hi Everyone,

 

Due to a family issue I have not give a defense to this court action and its due tomorrow I requested CCA and PRA have sent a letter 16.01.18 saying they have requested the required information from Barclaycaed.

 

But what would be my defense be in this case, do I dispute the whole claim on the grounds that no CCA has been produced ?

 

Thank You in advance

[Steve.H]

PRA also included a letter from Barclaycard posted to me in Sep 2015 which basically said that my account was closed with BC and transferred to PRA group with an outstanding balance.

 

So they have not produced the original CCA but I am unsure how to defend this.

[AndyOrch]

Adapt a similar defence to suit your particulars...plenty of none response to CCA requests in the following....

[Steve.H]

Thanks Andy,

 

I have read a few threads on your link but I would like the wording for the defense and the ones I have looked at don't have the wording !
