  • Cabot Financial (UK) Limited V. GarlickFiend #2

    Hi, I've followed the excellent advice I found on this site so far, now having had a reply from solicitors, I would welcome any advice on the next steps, this is my second from Cabot. (or 1st, date-wise!)

    Many thanks! :-)

    Cabot Financial (UK) Limited V. GarlickFiend

    Date of issue of claim:
    01.04.15

    Date of Service:
    07.04.15

    Response required by:

    Tuesday 05.05.15 @ 4pm.

    Particulars of Claim

    1.The claimant claims the sum of 1900.00 being monies due from the defendant to the claimant under a regulated agreement between the defendant and VANQUIS (*****************) and assigned to the claimant on 09/02/2015, notice of which has been provided to the defendant.
    2. The defendant has failed to make payment in accordance with the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974.
    3. The claimant claims the sum of 1900.00 and costs
    4. The Claimant has complied, as far as is necessary, with the pre-action conduct practice direction.

    Last time it was acknowledged at all (at the time with Ruthbridge Limited) was November 2010 when I sent a letter with an income/expenditure form and £1.00 as a token payment.

    I have sent off the CCA Basic Request for Original Copy of Agreement to Cabot Financial (UK) Limited, and sent the CPR 31.14 Request for disclosure of specific information of documents mentioned in the statement of case (particulars of claim) to the named solicitors Shoosmiths LLP. I sent these off last week around the 20.04.15.

    On 26.04.15 I received a letter from Shoosmiths LLP, dated 24.04.15:

    Dear Sir

    Cabot Financial (UK) Limited -V- Mr GarlickFiend
    Lender: VANQUIS
    Account Reference:****************
    Claim Number: ********

    We write with reference to the above matter.

    Hi,

    could anyone please help me with this? I have filed a defence that essentially said that I had sent the letters to request the documents as described above, and that I had received a reply from Shoosmiths. I've followed advice from the site so far but I could really do with some help here if anybody can?

    Many thanks in advance,

    GarlickFiend

          Good morning GF,
          Looking in as requested by Kati.

          You have things well in hand so far!!

          When was Shoosmith 's letter dated?
          As son as you receive anything from them i.e. a copy
          agreement etc., phone the court immediately and inform
          them that the claimant has agreed to a 14 day extension
          from the date the docs are received.
          Check with the court today on the status of the claim
          and tell them that the sols have stated on date that they
          have " put the matter on hold" until the docs can be provided.
          Keeps you well up to date with proceedings.

          Did you send a CCA request to Cabot? If so when was it sent?

          If Cabot has not complied with the CCA request within the 12 + 2
          working days time scale the debt is unenforceable until the agreement
          is produced.

            Hi Nem,

            Shoosmiths letter was dated 24.04.15.

            I sent CCA request to Cabot on 20.04.15 and still have not heard back from them yet.

            Do I just wait to hear from Shoosmiths now then?

            Cheers,

            GF

              Yes, don't forget to inform the court of the extension.

                I have spoken with the court this afternoon; they have received my defence, noted my response from Shoosmiths and that I am still awaiting documents from Cabot & Shoosmiths. Apparently I just wait to hear from someone now, the ball is in the claimant's court, so to speak!

                That's one weight off my mind, or postponed at least!

                Cheers,

                GarlickFiend

                  Ok that's great!

                  Get back to us as soon as you get anything from Shoosmiths or if you don't have any response by the end of next week.
                  CCA request must be complied with in 12 + 2 working days (starts the day posted and excludes weekends and Bank Hols) so keep a check on that.

                    Received a reply from the courts this morning:

                    CASE NUMBER ********

                    CABOT FINANCIAL (UK) LIMITED -V- MR GARLICKFIEND

                    I acknowledge receipt of your defence. A copy is being served on the claimant (or the claimant's solicitor). The claimant may contact you directly to attempt to resolve any dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the claimant will inform the court that he wishes to proceed. The court will then inform you of what will happen.

                    Where he wishes to proceed, the claimant must contact the court within 28 days after receiving a copy of your defence. After that period has elapsed, the claim will be stayed. The only action the claimant can then take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay.

                      Hi,
                      Standard letter!
                      You would be wise towards the end of the 28 days and just after to check with the court
                      on the status of the claim, as you will Not be informed if the claim is stayed.
