by the way what is the case number im in the process of doing a CPR 31.14 request?

 

The claim form number...not the debt reference number

[andrew1402]

ok Andy i'll change it again to claim form number i'm getting confused with replies here 

[andrew1402]

I have the number on POC which I noticed is the account number  or Lowell reference from the letters or Claim number on top right hand of County Court paper which is it?

 

I've gone with the account number on POC as dx said going PO now see how much It will cost

Hi guys

I have an update on my Wife's claim they have sent her a County Court claim N9A and N9B and acknowledgement form any help with this form would be very much appreciated and I need a good defence.

 

So no court claim number on the N1 ? 

[andrew1402]

I've sent it now recorded 

[andrew1402]

When and what can I use as my wife's defence ?

[AndyOrch]

Here is one I drafted yesterday post #31....edit to suit..although the particulars are virtually identical to yours.

 

Andy

[andrew1402]

Thanks Andy but I'm defending all not part or admitting do I leave that bit out?

[AndyOrch]

Well yes obviously...hence the edit to suit 

[andrew1402]

would it best leaving point 3 out altogether as i'm not admitting to it also what is a reply form never seen any just letters with amounts on? remember guys i'm still learning this process and not sure of all the legalities and that's with researches so not sure where Lowell are being legal or not legal practise in their pursuit of debts 

[AndyOrch]

So you have never had an account with EON ?

[brassnecked]

I read it initially as they never had, as Eon wanted £200 upfront  so they never went with them.  I feel we need absolute clarity from OP here as its possible Eon have sold on a ghost account to Lowlifes and there may be no debt at all.

 

So was an account ever made active, and who was the other supplier at the time.  If never Eon your defence will be significantly different and you could have a field day with Lowells  and Eon.

[AndyOrch]

Even better then ...defence will only require 2 paragraphs 

[andrew1402]

as far as my wife is aware brassnecked is right we should never had an account with them

 

i'll tell you why

 

first of they wanted £200 upfront due to credit check she explained we couldn't afford that

 

2nd I think quite significant thing is that they offered to change the meter to a pre payment meter which couldn't be done

 

so if account was set up by eon then clearly something's not right there

 

also why would we open an account so near Christmas and be with them for over 3 months with no supply?

[brassnecked]

Who was the supplier you were with when Eon alleged they were?.  Think you hang fire whilst the Team get back to you regarding the defence, that will now be likely significantly different as there was no debt to sell on and Lowell might end up with EoN in a bit of a pickle.

[andrew1402]

not sure I think same as now Southern Electric but not 100% talking 5 yrs ago or more

 

I have sent a CPR 31.14 to Lowell solicitors yesterday recorded 

[brassnecked]

How were they paid DD or by the bill, must be some proof, ask Southern whan your account was opened if before the Eon, and to date they and Lowell could be in for an expensive time as there may be a claim for breach of GDPR, along with a groundless litigation.  Others will know more, meanwhile gather evidence of the other supplier dates.

[andrew1402]

I will ring southern in the morning and see what I can find out and see if they will post the imformation to me asap

 

I was just thinking now could it be Eon that carried on supply even though couldn't set up DD or change meter for the 3 months but charged us anyway for supply for 3 months is that legal? in other words with no agreement 

[dx100uk]

please don't get fobbed off if events/bill issuance are within 6yrs they MUST under the data protection act and the prevention of fraud act

hold and GIVE YOU your data, ask to speak to a supervisor if they refuse.

 

If they still refuse state that as soon as the call is over you WILL be phoning the Information Commissioners office and opening a serious complaint against them AND be seeking financial compensation.

 

so either..

I. they must give you your data

or 

ii. confirm its outside of 6yrs of age.

 

RECORD THE CALL.

 

 

 

[andrew1402]

problem is which name or do I just ask if an account has been registered using the account number provided?

[dx100uk]

well 1st of all you'll have to get her to tell them  her details then pass the phone to you

as you cant deal without her permission.

 

dx

 

[andrew1402]

could I try the complaints route?

 

or try and set up an online account using that account number? i'm just trying to think of ways around this my wife is no good on the phone with things like this 

 

to be honest i'm not sure what to say to them 

 

 

the account does exist with a debt of £166.64 in her married name
