  • Court Claim Advice

    Hi,

    Could anyone offer me some clarity and advice on the following sequence of events in relation to an attempted court claim ref Kearns Solictiors:-

    i will try and basic point on the timeline to keep things easy.

    - CCA request sent 30th January (no corresponence ever recieved until 5th Nov)

    - beginning of September I recieved claims paperwork from Northampton court

    - subsequently i defended the claim on the basis of no CCA and not recognising the debt etc

    - letter rec'd from the court 18th September, ackniwledging receipt of defence, stating they had served a copy to the claimant and that the claimant needed to contact the court within 28 days of recieveing a copy of defence. After the period elapsed (*now weeks over that date) the claim would be stayed and the only action the claimant cab take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay.

    - Nothing else happens until the 5th November where I receive a letter from the claimant apologising for the delayed reponse and have now gathered the relevant documents.

    - the following documents enclosed (copy of notices of assignment, T&Cs, Default notice, account statements

    - The CCA provided for Barclaycard although does show my name and address, DOES NOT show the date of agreement, any credit limit (just loose terms "we set your limit according to circumstances") and APR is also "we charge different rates on different balances"

    - I would like to note the claimant have stated in their letter that there are several options available and they would like to speak with me to bring the matter to an amicable conclusion. If they dont hear they will consider whether or not to proceed with the claim at the Civil National Business Centre.

    in light of the above, what do you think is the best course of action?

    many thanks,

    Hi CP315

    Welcome to LB

    The documents provided sound like they are 'non compliant', prescribed terms missing.

    The account was opened in 2003 so they have to provide a 'true copy' of the agreement, not a reconstruction.

    It's up to you, it is defendable, but of course it will be down to the Judge / Court as to whether the debt is enforceable.

      It might be worth phoning the business centre to find out if the claim has been stayed
      You should have received a court order by now about the stay so it seems unlikely
      On the other hand you haven't stated you have received a Notice of Provisional Allocation or a DQ from the court

          cpr 3.1 (2) (g) sorry post 3 second sentence I meant court direction, not order

          If the stay is imposed automatically when one party fails to comply with a court instruction, how does the other party find out proceedings have been stayed?

            by means of the fact that N180/directions are received
            The court will never write to parties and say claim is stayed. Not by directions nor by order.
            If CLaimant does not notify proceed, then case is stayed by default without further communication to parties.
