  • ** DISCONTINUED ** Solicitors v micro

    Hi all,

    I've been hounded by DC's with the usual letters, but... I just got a Claim from the CCBC -

    Letter dated 8th Feb 2016,

    1. Going to acknowledge receipt of claim online later today.
    2. Going to send 1st class recorded post a CPR to the claimant solicitor ASAP

    Just need HELP with the THE PARTICULARS OF CLAIM.

    Not sure what to ask for in that part of the CRP letter.

    Here is what the Claim says:

    This claim is for the sum of £xxxx.xx in respect of monies owing pursuant to an overdraft facility under bank account no. xxxxxx/xxxxxxxx
    The debt was legally assigned by MKDP LLP (Ex Nat West) to the claimant and notice has been served. The defendant has failed to repay overdrawn sums owing under the terms and conditions of the bank account.

    The claimant claims.
    1. the sum of £xxxx.xx
    2. Interest pursuant to s69 of the county court Act 1984 at a rate of 8.00 percent from 24/01/12 to the date here of xxxx is the sum of £xxx.xx
    3. Future interest accruing at the daily rate of £ .xx
    4. Costs

    Where it says "and notice has been served" not sure what they mean - I've had nothing sent to me of that nature.

    Thanks

    Hiya, CPR 31.14 letter can ask for ' The Terms and Conditions of the Bank Account' and the 'Notice of Assignment',

    That does seems to be it.

    Any issues with this overdraft at all - do you recall when you stopped using the account ?

      Hi,

      Thanks for reply, does it matter too much to me that I can only ask for those 2 things?

      What about "notice has been served"" can I ask about that?

      Stopped using a/c in july/aug 2011 - default was for some reason recorded in jan/2012

      Sorry to sound thick but what do you mean "Any issues with this overdraft at all" - it was that long ago - not sure

                  In regards to their POC

                  2. Interest pursuant to s69 of the county court Act 1984 at a rate of 8.00 percent from 24/01/12 to the date here of xxxx is the sum of £xxx.xx

                  They being naughty with the date, as the 24/01/12 is the alleged date the bank applied a default notice. They do not say when they allegedly took over the alleged debt - but it seems it was only Oct 2015 -

                  From reading the forum it seems they can only charge and ask for interest from when they took over the alleged debt - what do other make of that?

                  Thanks

                    It will depend on the terms of the OD as to when if interest can be charged.
                    It complicates matters slightly that the debt has been in the hands of MKDP
                    who's admin practices leave a lot to be desired where dates are concerned.

                    I personally would check with NatWest as to when they actually defaulted/ terminated
                    the account, the bank has to hold records for 6 years after an account is closed.
                    A phone call could get the answers.

                            Well the CPR 31.14 has been sent off and hopefully i've asked for the correct things and the dates are ok.

                            Just realised tho' the address on envelope is the solicitors, (which is right to send the CPR 31.14 to) but I put mine and the sol's address on the CRP 31.14 letter - Have I done that wrong, should it be hoist's address on the actual letter?


                            Thanks again for all your help.

                              The Solicitors address is fine for the CPR letter.

                              The dates - you are correct - it is 33 days from the date of issue printed on the claim form ( as you had acknowledged within 14 days). It's not imperative to put the dates in the letter is just a guide so it really isn't fatal if the days are out a bit.
