    I don't really know where to post but I'll post it again here sorry ...

    I received a claim form from Mortimer Clarke Solicitor in behalf of Cabot Financial and they are chasing for a capital one debt amounting £500+. I believed that this is already a statute barred as it is not in my credit file.
    I have 14 days to respond to the claim and I don't really know where to start , what letter to write Please kindly help me.

      I'll ask our @Kati (nicely ) to move this to the court claim section of the forum.

                      Ok, getting there slowly but surely!
                      Can you prove (from your records) when the last payment was made?
                      Are you sure there have been no payments made via debt management plans or similar?
                      Are you sure that you have not given any written acknowledgement of this alleged debt in the last 6 years or more?

                        Re: Crying for help ! Please!

                        So 07/08 definatly statute barred by your dates if correct and unenforceable through the courts but unfortunately you will still have to go through the process of defending so you don't get a default judgment...

                        There a few letter to send out and that's an easy enough process and all templated can be found in http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...-a-Court-Claim in green at the top off the page...

                          [MENTION=5553]charitynjw[/MENTION] yes I am sure no acknowledgement or payment has ever been made or similar to that. and I was not in this country from April 2008 to March 2011 and no payment has ever been made to Capital or Cabot or anything similar.

                              The first & most important step is to acknowledge the claim with the court.
                              You have received a claim pack from them; follow the instruction given (you can do all this on-line).
                              We can then move on to the next steps.
