Good Morning,
I received a Claim Letter from the court in regards to TM Legal.
The claim against me was for an outstanding balance owed to Orbit Energy from 2/9/19 to 2/12/21 for £640.95 increasing to £810.95 for court costs.
I submitted my defence as I moved out of the property in July 2020. The evidence submitted was a tenancy agreement proving when I moved out and payments to Orbit Energy in the time I lived at the property.
I could not prove this part as I did not have the e-mail, however, when I had moved out I received e-mails with somebody else's name on.
So, in hindsight the debt is somebody else’s.
Before I submitted my defence I did ask if they held the final bill,the reply was no.
I probably,upon reading some of these posts, could have delved further into the following also as they did not follow the Pre-Action Protocol but due to disputing all of the monies owed I left that part out.
TM Legal have now replied to my defence stating the below:
'We write further to the above matter.
Our client has all the necessary information to supply to the Court and we are confident of over-turning your Defence as we believe it has no merit, and all costs incurred will be added to your account, which means your outstanding balance could increase significantly.
To bring this matter to an early and amicable close, our client is prepared to offer you a reduction in balance of 50%, which means if you pay £405.48, this account will be considered as settled. You can either pay this in full or monthly at an amount of £50.00 per month until it is cleared.
If you accept the offer and upon receipt of payment, we will inform the Court that we have reached an agreement, no County Court Judgment will be entered against you. Our client will also contact the Credit Reference Agencies and request your credit file is updated as ‘partially satisfied’.

I would appreciate any help on this matter with how to move forward please.
Thanks
