Centrica/CST Manual Claimform - Scottish Gas / training bond. Went dead - now new claimform.

[starb18]

Documents sent, 

 

is it now a case of sit and wait for a response? 
 

apologies for a lot of possible easy questions etc, very stressful!

 

thanks for all your help, much appreciated!

 

 

[AndyOrch]

Wait and see if CCMCC acknowledge receipt or reject.

[starb18]

I had an auto response back saying they have received my email but processing times will take longer

[AndyOrch]

Fingers crossed for you then but at least you have submitted.

[starb18]

Hi,

 

I have received a letter today as a notice of proposed allocation to the fast track. 
 

truthfully again I have no idea what areas I need to fill out or what this fast track even means. 
 

I have until the 14th of October to respond.

 

any help is greatly appreciated 

 

thanks

[AndyOrch]

 

[starb18]

That is the form I have been sent, 

 

what sections do I complete? does this mean I have to go to court now?

 

 

[AndyOrch]

Its fairly self explanatory...you complete all of it. This form allocates the claim to the appropriate track and moves the claim to your local county court then you will be given further directions to prepare for the hearing.

[starb18]

So am I better fighting this battle or try and set a payment plan up now with centrica? I’m presuming if they are willing to take this further I’ve basically lost? 

[AndyOrch]

Dont throw the towel in just yet....this is  the next stage of the procedure. The DQ offers you a chance to enter into mediation if you do not wish to proceed...if you do not complete and submit the form you will get a CCJ anyway because you have failed to comply with the next stage.

 

A.  Settlement for all   1. tick yes  2 tick no

 

B. 2 tick yes and write reason .... Defendant Litigant in person.

 

C. Leave blank

 

D.  D1 Tick no  D2 leave blank D3 leave blank D4 leave blank

 

E.  Tick no

 

F. 1 witness ...yourself

 

G . Less than 1 day and state any dates you will not be available....holidays etc etc.

 

I.  Leave blank

 

Sign and date...run 3 copies 1 for the court 1 for the claimants solicitor and 1 for your file.

[starb18]

Ok excellent thanks.

 

i will complete the above first thing and send off. 
 

With regards to the next stage, I’m presuming the will challenge this the whole way? Like at this point is there anyway they will drop it? 
 

I seen bad mojo posted in his thread recently how is has gone 35 days and I had a reply very quickly.

 

thanks 

[AndyOrch]

Lets see how keen they are to proceed when they have to pay the  hearing fee on a Fast Track claim 

[starb18]

Hi,

 

apologies have been away working and completely forgot to send these off before I left, is it just a case of sending paper copies back to the court and directly to CST law? 
 

thanks

I have until the 14th of October to respond.

 

Yes as detailed within the Order you received with the N181.

[dx100uk]

what happened?

dx

[starb18]

I had responded to all the letters and documents sent after the one I put in above,

then a reminder was sent because they hadn’t responded so they had a further 30 days to respond,

then a further 14 after that.

They didn’t respond at all so I called the court and they had said it had been throwing out at their end. 

from that I then received a small claims court document from CST law,

everytime I called for approx 4 weeks the case handler was busy.

Haven’t heard anything since they sent the documents.

[dx100uk]

so they never paid the court fee and the claim was struk out by the court?

have you this in writing?

you should never be ringing the they!!

Hello, 

I hadn’t heard anything in regards to this again until now, another claim filed at the Carlisle court, with a breakdown of all costs and copy’s of my contract and the training bond in this claim.

is it worth me conceding and offering to pay now?

Looks like they aren’t giving up, would my wages be arrested if this did go to court?

thanks for any help 

just for context:

1: At all material times the Claimant carried on business as a supplier of Gas and Electricity to both commercial and residential customers. The Defendant was employed as a Finance Analyst by the Claimant.

that is the opening sentence, which is wrong, that’s not what I was employed as.
 

[dx100uk]

God no don't give .in.

 

File out our sticky again please.

[starb18]

Sorry, what’s the sticky? 
 

thanks

[starb18]

Name of the Claimant ? Centrica / CST LAW

 

Date of issue – 16/11/22

 

Particulars of Claim

 

What is the claim for – 

Over payment of salary / expenses 

 

What is the total value of the claim? £11580.10 (previous amount they had tried to claim) New claim now: £9743.88
 

Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? Yes, previous posts, notice of a court case, they hadn’t responded in time and then heard no further until approx March this year with a small claims court hearing - never heard anything after that correspondence until 16/11/22 - heard nothing since that date either 
 

Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? Yes, centrica has been informed of the change.
 

Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? Yes, centrica

Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? No
 

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After
 

Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Training Centre in person (signed an e contract but nothing shows I’ve signed the training bond) 
 

Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? No
 

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Assigned to CST law
 

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? No - not initially until communication from CST
 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? I received a letter in 2017 from centrica then nothing since. 
 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ?  No, only the court and small money claims court letters as correspondence
 

Why did you cease payments? I never started, was advised not to as they wouldn’t chase, advised by old BG manager and ex colleague.
 

What was the date of your last payment? Never given one.
 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No, only this - however they stated I had electronic goods on a work place scheme which I did, I then had to repay this through my tax code due to leaving. So they are trying to claim for this, and I have already paid it back via my tax as far as I’m aware

 

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No, none. 
 

[dx100uk]

The debt has not been assigned to cst law, they are a solicitors and can't buy debts and you've had no notice of assignment.

 

I would follow exactly what you did before.

 

Dx

[starb18]

I have nothing to defend to in this case, previously I had a template and form to fill out. Where as this has purely been a document sent via email by CST law.

 
should I just leave it until the next communication or what can I do in the mean time to defend this? 
 

thanks
