  • Goods supplier taking me to court

    Hope someone can point me in the right direction, being taken to court by a goods supplier i owe them money i made them a reasonable offer of payment via time to pay response but they rejected now been told
    that their agreement may not be enforceable, they granted me £1000 credit limit, balance now over £1600 sole trader with no credit rating due to previous bankruptcy so in a sense i shouldnt have been granted the credit facility to begin with, do i have a leg to stand on or just best to try pay what they want?

    Hello

    Who said the agreement may not be enforceable and on what grounds? If you have a credit limit of £1,000 then how have you managed to reach £1,600, did they increase the credit limit?

    You acted in the course of business as a trader so I'm not entirely sure the argument about not granting you credit because of your bankruptcy is relevant. The supplier has obviously taken a risk with you in granting credit and you've failed to pay. Unless there's anything else that you haven't mentioned this appears to be a straightforward B2B breach of contract for which you are liable for.

    How much did you offer the supplier to settle? was it anywhere near the £1,600?
    If you have a question about the voluntary termination process, please read this guide first, as it should have all the answers you need. Please do not hijack another person's thread as I will not respond to you
