    Re: Kafkaesque v LOWEL PORTFOLIO I LTD

    Also whats the worst case timescales with this? if I get a CCJ and I don't pay how long before the bailiffs come knocking? Or actually a high court order gaining entry?
    The reason I ask is I'm ill and getting really tired of this really quickly (which is what they want I guess) but as I plan to leave the UK in the next year is it worth wasting any more time on this?

      Sorry what's CRA?
      Sorry it stands for Credit Reference Agency such as Equifax or Experian (Noddle is free but doesn't always show everything).

      You can do this online in a nanosecond.

      If the entry is not showing then it won't give you proof that it was settled though because you're looking for something to show it was settled (if you follow me).

        I can see this is upsetting and has brought back bad memories, you but once you've got some proof to present to Lowells and/or the court you'll begin to feel things are working for you not against you.

        I don't foresee bailiffs knocking on your door.

        If you file a Defence (the forum will help you to compose it) then you will be offered free telephone Mediation if the Claimant decided to continue with the proceedings. But if your Defence is strong (and you believe it is) then they may discontinue the claim once they read it.

          OK thanks DI.

          I can try I guess but these CRA are normally useless as I moved around so much and in/out the UK.
          I also can't see the point if I have chat records from vodafone which say I owe the money. Why would they update the CRA file if they still think I owe them and then sell the debt to lowell?
          I think the odds of them updating the CRA file with the 2012 settlement (or payoff or whatever it was) are less than a nanosecond

            I reckon a call to Vodafone might help - if this is the same debt as the contract you cancelled and got refunded for, then Vodafone have cocked up by keeping it on their system when it should have been cancelled and removed - could just be a communication error between legal and accounts - worth a try speaking to them.

                        How's this going?

                        You need to keep an eye on your Defence filing deadline. It's 33 days from the claim Issue Date.

                        The court won't know you've been liaising with Vodafone so the timetable continues regardless.

                        You may need to keep Lowells in the loop too.

                          Morning Diana

                          I haven't been so well so sorry for lack of updates.
                          So using the date calculator from your 33 days I make the deadline Saturday 8th April? Is that correct.

                          I plan on pasting my defence here later today - would you be able to look it over please before I file it?

                            I think it's wise to file a Defence to protect your legal position. The court will then send a copy of it to the Claimant.

                            If you post it on your thread someone will take a look at it for you. Remove any details which could identify you first.

                            Have Vodafone given you the background information you need?

                            Depending on what you discover you may wish to invite Lowells to discontinue the claim. If you file your Defence before you do that then they won't be able to re-issue the claim without permission of the court if they do decide to Discontinue.

                              Thanks.

                              No info from Vodafone vet - Lee just keeps emailing me twice a week with "your complaint remains under investigation"

                              Could you please confirm the deadline of 8th April from the 6 March issue date is correct please?
