My daughter received a claim issued 17.11.16 on 19.11.16 for just over £5,000 - Claimant Hoist Portfolio Holding 2 Ltd, solicitor Howard Cohen and Co, original creditor Barclaycard. No payments or acknowledgement of debt for at least 8 years although daughter has moved a couple of times and hasn't got any of the old paperwork. Thank you to Stu from this site who has talked us through the first steps and Charity for giving us help with timeline. My daughter has now acknowledged service online and letters were posted 21.11.16 (CCA request to claimant with £1 postal order) and CPR request to Howard Cohen.
Have now received a letter from Robinson Way acknowledging receipt of request under S77/79 of the consumer credit act and saying "please find by return your £1 fee. Your account is now with our clients solicitor Howard, Cohen & Co and they have issued a county court claim against you. We have forwarded your request to them as under CPR.31.14 you are entitled to request documentation mentioned in the particulars of claim. They are currently in the process of retrieving the documents requested. Therefore please accept this letter as agreement to a general extension of time. Once they have provided you with the documents requested they will grant a further 14 days for you to respond to the claim form as you feel appropriate."
Not sure how long general extension of time means and do we need to let the court know and how do we do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated
