    Help really needed please claim form was sent to wrong address so i received it late, have acknowledged service on line as time was running out but am panicking about defence as haven't got a clue how to word it and don't want to trip myself up, the debt to my knowledge is statute barred as not acknowledged or made payment since March 2006, could well be earlier but that's the latest date

    Any help really appreciated I'm so worried over this and don't know what to do

    Hi and welcome aboard

    Don't panic, you have acknowledged service which is the important thing for now. :thumb:

    If the issue date was the 4th of June, you have until the 7th of July to file a defence - 33 days from date printed on claim form: http://www.timeanddate.com/date/date...&am=&aw=&ad=33

    Below are the usual steps to take upon receipt of a claim, you have already taken step one which was to acknowledge.

    2: Send A CCA REQUEST to the CLAIMANT ( see here )
    This applies to all credit cards / loans / hire purchase / store cards type debt. It doesn't apply to Mobile Phones / Utilities or Overdrafts.

    3: Send a CPR request to the CLAIMANT'S SOLICITORS ( see here )

    Although you say the debt is SBd, it's always a good idea to request the documents as a back-up.

        No worries, that's what we're here for. :thumb:
        • CCA request - you don't need to chase that one as the debt becomes unenforceable if they don't respond in 14 working days and this fact can be used in your defence. Cabot are very likely to respond with a letter saying it will take them 40 days to obtain the documents and possibly that the account will be 'on hold'. If so, do not believe that the account is actually on hold, it's just a template they use to respond to all CCA requests and you still need to submit your defence before the deadline of 33 days from date on claim. :clock: The chances of them sending you the CCA before the deadline are slimmer than the chances of snow in July!
        • CPR request - you DO need to chase that one if they don't respond in 7 days (from when your letter is received). You can contact them by post or by phone and/or email to save time. :cell:
        • Defence - if they don't supply the documents and the debt is also statute barred, you'd be looking at a generic defence that combines both, this is an example (not a template, it needs to be amended to suit): http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...011#post494011 As you will see, the case went in favour of the defendant. :bounce:

            Don't worry about that, if your debt is SBd that would be the main argument of your defence and one that takes precedence over any other issues. :thumb:

            You can submit your defence online. :typing:
