          33 includes posting allowance, not a problem


          NOTE: The defence date is 28 days from service (ie when you received the claim) or 33 days (which allows 5 days for service) from the issue date printed on the front of the claim form. You can work out the date HERE >>> http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html

          Take it you have not read:- First Steps it is all at the top of this thread.

                If the Defence deadline falls on a weekend or a Bank Holiday then the deadline moves on to 4pm the next working day which is why I stated Monday 22nd.

                    what do u think the likelihood of them getting an agreement is. and I think half of the 5000 pound is interest.

                      This would have been a doorstep loan. In fact could it have been more than one which they have amalgamated?

                      The APR was often over 500% so there may be all sorts of issues to explore.

                      You've said you think you last paid in 2011 so this debt may be touch-and-go Statute Barred.

                      We've been dealing with some claims recently for old Provident loans where the agent (doorstep collector) didn't always pass on the money collected. Did you have a book which your agent signed when you paid?

                      Also do you remember how you opened the account (e.g. in your own home)?

                      What you need to do next is send a Subject Access Request to Provident to get the full history of the account.

                          [MENTION=87380]Diana M[/MENTION] yeah it was a doorstep loan and I think your right it could be a couple of loans together. I,m convinced its statue barred and like I said I checked noddle and its not on there.
                          I opened the account in my own home. where can I get a copy of a s.a.r plz

                            Well that may give them a headache since they may have to produce two credit agreements if you opened two separate loans.

                            We'll see.

                              No problem

                              As I said I only know because I had a few of these loans and more by luck than judgement I still had one when I sent a CCA request off.

                              Lowell had amalgamated 3 loans into one , they managed to send me the front three pages of all 3 but were unable to send the terms and conditions. To be honest they were hard enough to read on the original let alone if they had photocopied them

                              If they only send the fronts you should be OK

                              I know why they litigate these-because most people don't fight them - but I am hoping for the best for you

                              As you say it is 5 K- worth looking into trying to get some legal advice if it looks like it might go all the way

                              the forum will do all it can for you but as has been said on many occasion , the devil is in the detail.
                              [MENTION=87380]Diana M[/MENTION] The interest rate on standard provident loans was about a flat 58%ish I think . £3 a week for 53 weeks on every £100 borrowed

                                On their website today they're quoting the following example >


                                Representative example: £270 loan over 26 weeks. 26 payments of £16.20 per week. Rate of interest 112% p.a. fixed.
                                Representative 535.3% APR.
                                Total amount payable £421.20.



                                They then say comfortingly >

                                Loans can be repaid over a period of 13 to 52 weeks depending on the loan term chosen at application. The maximum APR for a loan is 1557.7%.



                                Holy Mackerel!
