I’ve had a few debts I’ve been trying to sort over the last couple of years, and with the help of this forum I’ve successfully managed to win a couple of court cases with Lowell.

 

However, just over a year ago they managed to get a ccj through by lying about my address.

I even phoned them up and they admitted to it on the phone but said there was nothing I could do about it.

I gave in and agreed to pay them £5 a month, and have been doing this ever since. 
 

I then took some advice from my union, and was recommended to get a debt relief order to get rid of everything and start again.

However even though they were really helpful, they were so busy that it just hasn’t happened.

 

When this was recommended I changed my bank, but I’d had an overdraft with my old bank, with ludicrous daily fees that I couldn’t afford, which I ignored.

They passed this onto a debt collection agency and I’ve just received a letter before action from them and I don’t know what the best next step is.

Could anyone help me and advise please? 


thank you!

  • Andyorch changed the title to Letter Before Action Old Lloyds Overdraft PRA

Yes, it is, thank you! I’m so sorry I’d hunted for just this information but couldn’t find it, I was looking for the wrong name I think! 
 

So I’ll get that letter sent ASAP. I don’t know what reason to give as to why I dispute the debt though. I couldn’t afford the daily fees and fees my family, so a couple of times I increased my overdraft to cover the short fall that the fees caused. And changed bank to escape the fees..

so post 3 in that thread is the one you need.

don't forget use OUR FORM, not the ones sent by the DCA.

 

i would suspect that most of the debt is lloyds own doing by levying disproportionate penalty OD fees and the interest those caused.

 

get an sar running to lloyds 

get all the statements direct yourself from lloyds from day one..

 

when did you take this A/C out please?

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Ok I’ll send those.

The account dates back to, I think 2007, it could have been a year either side though

 

thank you 

 

Just to clarify, I send the form back to PRA, not Lloyd’s, that’s right isn’t it?

Hi,

I've been trying to sort my finances out over the last couple of years, and this site has helped me no end. I posted for advice a couple of months ago after receiving a letter before action for an old Lloyds overdraft. I was advised to send off letters, which I did, and I got no response. I've hunted through and cannot find my proof of postage for these. I've been working from home and with a family as well it all got a little frantic, so they may well turn up but as it is I don't have them. 

 

I received 2 claim forms within a couple of days of each other, and one is for the Lloyds Overdraft. I was wondering if you could help to advise me with this, and how to proceed please. I have read the advice threads that you have, and have the CPR 31.14 ready to be posted first thing in the morning. I'm confused though, as it doesn't mention a default notice, should I mention that? Should I send another letter to the bank requesting all of my old statements?

 

Also, I will fill in your form here, but I wanted to add that the court claim states that I opened my overdraft account in 2007. This isn't true. I opened a basic account in 2007, it wasn't my main account at the time, and it was literally to separate money for my forthcoming wedding. I then used it for years, started using it as my main account but was happy with it as it was, before I upgraded to a current account, which I only did maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I only took out an overdraft at all a couple of years ago, and it killed me financially, so i changed banks.

 

I'd read a thread on here about them which suggested doing just that and then waiting until a debt collector buys the overdraft, then deal with the debt.

 

I was unaware until I received the letter before action in the summer that it had been bought by a debt collector.

I also submitted a claim a few years ago for excessive bank charges, but I never heard back from them.

 

My partner also submitted a claim for these, and hers was acknowledged and out and out denied. At the time we were not aware that we appealing this was worth doing.

 

Here is my form

 

Name of the Claimant ?

There are two versions of the CPR 31.14 Bob...one for current accounts and the other for normal loan/credit cards.

It does refer to a default notice.....different name for current accounts.

You must acknowledge service by next Tues  22nd Sept 4.00pm

Oops, I didn't realise that! I clicked on them both, I thought they were the same, I'll go and check again that I've filled in the right one before I post it tomorrow!

 

Should I send another SAR to LLoyds?

 

Yes, I got the right one, thank you!

Oh, right. I thought I needed them because of bank charges. I still might hear back from them from a couple of months back, but its not looking likely now after all this time. I'm assuming my letters got lost with the covid delays

Thank you, and sorry, I've been at work, but this is my defence that I have drafted, if you don't mind checking through it for me, any advice would be really appreciated! And I will try to submit it asap

 

POC

 

1.claimant claims the sum of £1700 for an outstanding deb owed.

 

2.On 10/04/2007 the Defendant entered into an agreement with Lloyds Banks for an Overdraft Account under reference 123456789.

 

3.On 01/12/2019 the Defendant defaulted on the agreement with an outstanding balance of £1700.

 

4.On 10/01/2020 the debt of £1700 was assigned to PRA Group. Notices of assignment were sent to the Defendant in accordance with S136 Law of Property Act 1925.

 

AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS 1. The sum of £1700

 

The defendant contends that the particulars of the claim are vague and generic in nature. The defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

1. Paragraphs 1 and 2 are denied. It is admitted with regards to the Defendant once having had banking facilities with the original creditor Lloyds Bank. 

 

2. Paragraph 3 is denied. Due to punitive and extortionate fees the facility became untenable. Any alleged balance claimed will consist totally of default penalties/charges levied on the account for alleged late, rejected or over limit payments. The court will be aware that these charge types and the recoverability thereof have been judicially declared to be susceptible to assessments of fairness under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. The Office of Fair Trading v Abbey National PLC and others (2009). I will contend at trial that such charges are unfair in their entirety and any alleged balance was due to punitive and extortionate charges.

 

3. Paragraph 4 is denied. The Defendant is not aware of ever receiving any Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925. 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.

 

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 put to strict proof to:

 

(a) Provide a copy agreement/overdraft facility arrangement along with the Terms and Conditions of inception that this claim is based on

(b) Provide a copy of the Notice served under 76(1) and 98(1) of the CCA 1974 Demand / Recall Notice and Notice of Assignment.

(c) Provide a breakdown of all excessive charging/fees and show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed.

(d) Show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed.

(e) Show how they have complied with sections III and IV of Practice Direction - Pre-action Conduct.

 

5. On receipt of this claim The Defendant requested documentation by way of a CPR 31.14 request. The Claimant has declined to comply with this request.

 

6. 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.
