Hi all,
and thank you for accepting me.
I have recently received a county court claim from Lowell portfolio regarding an energy bill from a house I moved out of nearly 6 years ago.
I think the energy company named in the claim was my supplier at the time (I no longer have the paperwork) but the amount claimed (nearly £1000) seems extremely high.
I had some financial difficulties at the time due to illness and unemployment but I don't think I ever had an energy bill of that size.
I have acknowledged the claim online and stated I will be defending the claim.
The particulars of the claim are:
1) The Defendant enterered into a supply and service agreement with (Energy Supplier) under account reference xxxxxxxx("the agreement")
2) The agreement later ended but a liability remained outstanding for payment.
3) The agreement was later assigned to the claiment on dd/mm/2018 and notice given to the Defendant.
4) Despite repeated requests for payment the sum of (approx)£900 remains due and outstanding.
And the Claimant claims
a) The said sum of (approx)£900
b) Interest pursuant to s69 County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue (approx) £100
c) Costs
As this was not a credit agreement I'm not sure what my next step should be. (who I should send letters to or what I should say) Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
