  • Out of court settlement

    On 13th August I received a letter regarding a debt in my maiden name (I have been married 10 years) I have no recollection of this amount or the claimant. I sent a reply on 14th asking for proof (copy of agreement, other documents and statement of account).

    They proceeded to court anyway and I filed a defense requesting the same information and the court asked them to provide it (I have no idea in what timescale) but I set a timescale of 12 working days (as per the statutory requirement). During that time i have received a letter from the small claims court asking for mediation, and to nominate a court, I wrote back to them on 26th August telling them I still hadn't had proof... I have still not received this info but on 1st sept I have received a request to settle out of court.

    Can I assume this is because they haven't got the info and cannot go to court. The letter i sent states if the 12 working day deadline in not meant the debt becomes unenforceable is that correct...
    How do i respond to this request, I am not agreeing to anything until i have proof its mine.

    What do the particulars of claim state?

    What was said for the settlement offer?

      Nothing. They want me to fill in an I & E form. However they haven't yet replied to my request for more information. They said they acknowledged receipt of the request and would comply with the court instructions. The 'case' has been transfered to my local court.

        If the Court stated a direction for disclosure then they must surely have given a date for this?
