Hi,

 

We had to close our business in march 2020- and as expected people called in their personal guarantees, with some help and minimal legal advice, we dealt with a settled a few - some still to go. Most creditors have been easy enough to communicate and deal with. But one!

 

They ignored pre action protocol,and immediately issued county court claim for nearly £30,000 in April- during full lock down- dont reason, or negotiate etc- have been very aggressive.

 

Most importantly to date, is that it appears they dont have a personal guarantee as they have not provided complete signed paperwork- so statute of frauds

and what they have produced is only signed on behalf of the company etc- parts missing, used my husband so Etridge principles etc

 

They were offered a good will payment - immediately rejected and want me to sign a tomlin order which i refused- as i see this as a weakness in their case.

Ive met any court timetables to date on AOS and defence, but could really do with help, opinions

 

 

Can anyone help?

ok - please can admin approve my last post as took ages to write ?? pleeeease

 

Also- directions questionnaire due tomorrow-

so my case is proposed to go the fast track even though over £25k 

should i accept this or ask for multi track as it buys alot more time before hearings 1-2 years - or are the cost risks massive

 

what costs would a losing party pay in fast track as opposed to multi track? thanks

redacted -Official Defence xxxxxxxxJCF butchers claim form.docx

 

its a long one (defence)- my husbands is similar 

main points - we used a broker i have communications saying no pgs no debentures

 

we finally were accepted by claimant- they sent an 'offer letter'- i signed ( my husband did not as far was we can remember as hes nothing to do with operating my business) they cannot provide a copy of offer letter signed by him.

 

then afterwards they sent a 'loan agreement' which they only copy they can provide is a pre typed e signature on docusign by my husband apparently signed only 'on behalf of xxxx ltd ' so not signed in a personal capacity at all- but IP address is scotland near their offices in lanarkshire not our IP address down south england and we would have been home as certificate of completion says 11.25pm signed

CPR 31.14 and SAR has failed to provide a signed 'loan offer' letter by husband 

and 'loan agreement' signed by myself 

no deed of guarantee done or provided as per their loan offer letter stating in in execution section.

 

To be clear what they are trying to say is 'loan offer' is us signing a guarantee as its appendixed to loan agreement 

but no 'loan offer' for husband and no 'loan agreement for me 

 

they are saying 'loan offer' and 'loan agreement' = one contract so can use my signature from offer as a personal guarantee signature  for the agreement! and they dont need a DOGI. why write one in the execution if not required to be done .

 

hope not to confusing for you all

Why didnt you simply reply stating i signed no personal guarantee. The claimant has failed to provide one to date.

 

Imho there was no need for any of that war and peace defence

On the DQ

 

B your Local County Court because you are the litigant defendant...not because its easier to travel to.

 

D2 its Fast Track because the value is over £10 K not because of the nature of the case..the nature of the case could quite eaisly be dispensed with in Small Claims Track.

 

D  3 is not applicable to Fast Track.

D  4 is applicable you require full disclosure of all the original documents that the claimants claim relies upon

 

F Witnesses is your self/husband so 1/2

 

G Will be less than 1 day...say 4 hours

 

I. I would leave blank...this is for allocation purposes only not a further defence.

 

J. You must draft on a separate sheet your proposed directions for how the claim will proceed and attach to the N181

Have they served proposed directions ?  If you agree there is no need for you to do it also...if you wish to amend/add you must do it in agreement with the claimant.

 

You must stress and request the inclusion of the original signed PG and the credit agreement.

 

Here is an example of draft directions in accordance with CPR 28 (3.5/3.6)

All done- i guess i just sit back and wait?

I have requested multiple times now for docs- and they have confirmed they hold no more 

documents than the SAR response , and i wonder if that was maybe the reason they offered a tomlin order

even before DQ were done (which i refused).

Also they have placed unilateral notices for the same debt on two of my properties- my home and a rental

i have done UN4 to land registry and they objected to removal, as gave a copy of loan agreement only signed by company

 

i have wrote back to land registry and said look at contract, no personal signatures, no guarantees under statute of frauds you must remove as this is a company not a personal debt , but its being very difficult for them to listen to me, ive said same debt to multiple properties is abuse of process etc

 

any advice?

the claimant has done everything they can to apply immense aggressive pressure and i do believe its to scare me into paying

(which wont happen ) as there case has flaws, rather than see this in court.

 

Do you recommend the use of barristers?

well they will have to disclose the signed personal guarantee at the witness statement - disclosures stage .

how can a business register a UN on commercial and private properties in your name with said document?

I don’t know how - there is a clause in the contract about an equitable charge- but as I said - only copy is signed  by company only 

 

a separate legal entity who doesn’t have the consent to use another’s property - with out a pg or personal signature 

 

and no I haven’t been served their DQ yet

i received the DQ from the other side over the weekend- no suprises. They are still requesting their local court which is in wales!

but im assuming defendant usually always gets the court they request- especially as there are two of us.

 

original statement sent with letter before Action was £25906.83 to claim

 

but actual court claim thousands larger- no itemised amount or explanation of the 'fees' added on this new statement

one fee looks exactly same amount as court fee- so basically want to include in claim and add on top again as court costs

Litigant Defendants court always...irrelevant of how many defendants.
