It doesn't make any sense though?

You will appreciate that in an ordinary case and by reason of the provisions of CPR PD 16 para 7.3, where a claim is based upon a written agreement, a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s) should be available at the hearing. Further, that any general conditions incorporated in the contract should also be attached.

You remove all of it as your claim was served from MCOL CCBC......they cant attach anything to an electronic claim.

We could do with some help from you.

CPR 31:14 was sent on 16th.

So what now? I only have a couple of days to put my defense in

 

The advice on this forum has been to contest the whole amount. But how am I supposed to prove that in court? Surely this option is for cases where you can prove the debt is not in your name, or you've already paid it.

Surely I MUST put my defense in to pay part of the debt.

I need some help customizing a defense.

I still fail to see how I can argue that the whole sum should be written off.

What is my defense?

The account only goes back to 2012. I've got £1030 of charges and interest. How can I argue that I shouldn't repay a penny?

 

I did search as you advised in your last post, and the reason people have won, is on a technicality i.e. the debt collector cant produce a certain document, so the court has thrown it out.

As all of the paperwork and procedure from PRA looks to be in order, i cannot use a 'technicality' as my defense.

Unless I use the fact that the account was a joint account, and they are only taking my wife to court, not both of us.

For 'Particular number 2', i see a lot of other people saying this like 'Paragraph 2 is denied. I do not recall having this account'. I obviously cannot put that, what would i put?

Ok, so they now need to send proof after the issuance of a Claim, understood.

The debt is for £2300, and I've calculated £1030 of charges and interest.

 

So that leaves £1270.

 

I've read a few defences, but none of them are for OD's. Do you have a link to a standard OD defence?

Defence

 1. Paragraph 1,I accept that I have in the past held a current account with Lloyds Bank Plc. I have not serviced this account since xxxxxx due to the punitive charges and interest being applied which made the account untenable and impossible to facilitate. The amount claimed is far in excess of any agreed overdraft limit with Lloyds Bank. I deny that the account exceeded an agreed overdraft limit due to overdrawing of funds and claim that this is a result of unfair and extortionate bank charges/penalties being applied to the account. It is therefore denied that I am indebted for any alleged outstanding residue.

 2.Paragraph 2 is denied as the original creditor has failed to serve a Notice served under 76(1) and 98(1) of the CCA1974 Demand /Recall Notice and the Claimant is put to strict proof to evidence any breach.

 3. Paragraph 3 is denied I have never been served a Notices of Assignment in accordance with s.136 Law of Property Act 1925.

 4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 Therefore the claimant is also put to strict proof to:-.

 (a) Provide a copy agreement/facility arrangement along with the Terms and conditions at inception, which this claim is based on.
 (b) Provide a copy of the Notice served under 76(1) and 98(1) of the CCA1974 Demand /Recall Notice and Notice of Assignment.
 (c) Provide a breakdown of their excessive charging/fees levied to the account and;.
 (d) Show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed.
 (e) Show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim.
 (f) Show how they have complied with sections III & IV of Practice Direction - Pre-action Conduct.

 5. On receipt of this claim I immediately requested documentation by way of a CPR 31.14 request, which was received by the Claimant on the xxxxxxxx. The Claimant has failed to comply with this request. Therefore the claimant in their non compliance to my requests have frustrated my attempts to clarify their claim and against pre action protocol should be considered when the question of costs arise.

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

Responding to your PM 

 

So are you looking at a way to settle this debt to prevent this claim proceeding ? I would s till advise you to submit a defence in the meantime...otherwise the claimant can get judgment if you miss your defence date.....you can still negotiate after submitting your defence and hopefully the claim will be stayed allowing time for this.
