Re: HELP, I have received a court claim from Restons Solicitors and unsure what to do

Good afternoon everyone.
Just a quick update again.
I rang the court today and a stay was put on my claim on the 16th Jan.
This can only be good news cant it ?
Thanks chris

The claim is, for the time being, in limbo.
The Claimant would need to pay to lift the stay.
Whether they will (or can), only time will tell.
But the claim is for ~£5.6k...........

Yes thanks.
Its a waiting game again.
They do not have the information stated in my defence.
If they cannot get it could they sell the debt on again ?
This could go on a long time :-/

Hi guys,
Another update, Today i received a letter from Restons asking me to withdraw my defence as i have been continuing to make monthly £10 payment.
Would you reccommend i keep these payments up or stop them.?
I feel its about to start up again !

Thanks Chris

Hello Chris,

A court will see these payments as a clear admission of liability, so I assume that you will contend the enforceability of the debt in court i.e. that no CCJ should be made???

Re: HELP, I have received a court claim from Restons Solicitors and unsure what to do

If they have failed to provide the CCA or maybe other important paperwork such as the NOA or Default notice, why on earth would you withdraw your defence?

It is a small claim I assume so costs are unlikely

If however they have produced everything you might want to get a professional to look it over and see what they think

Incidentally
I believe that Restons have a reputation for being really not very nice people so you will have to hold your nerve

Remember if they have produced all the paperwork there is still the chance of a Tomlin order but I think that would be done via mediation

Thanks for that.
I did not realise i was was still making payments. I have stopped them now.
No they failed to produce any paperwork.
What is even more weird, Restons have taken me to Court on behalf of Arrow. I have had a letter from Arrow stating it is not their debt.
I honestly do not know what is going on.
The debt is for £5600
Any help you give is greatly appreciated.

If you read other threads it is comments on LB you will see that Arrow often deny they are the creditor which is rubbish , well if they aren't the creditor then they can not be the claimant - might be worth including in your WS when it comes to it.

From what you have posted it seems a slam dunk - they have not provided any of the proof you owe the money but courts are a funny place
