IDEM / TSB Court Papers, illegible CCA, any guidance appreciated 🙏

[Brian785]

Hello everyone,

We are due to file defence by 4pm this coming Monday. (Saturday Today)

Idem have not responded within the 7 days to the CPR 31.14 (received by them 27/09)

what do I do?

Do I have time on Monday to ask the court with N244 form on Monday to make them disclose or throw out the case?

Or instead do I submit an ‘embarrassed defence’

any guidance is appreciated,

kind regards

Brian

Any feedback appreciated please

As I’ve been working through all the paperwork I’ve found a letter from them acknowledging the CCA they provided is illegible and also have different date in writing from them to the date they have stated in POC for the debt purchase date.

Im definitely interested to inspect these documents now, what’s the betting they will turn up tomorrow am when defence should be in by 4pm?!

Kind regards

Hello everyone,

the 31.14 request remains unanswered in any form, I have submitted a defence and now has been allocated to small claims track.

Am I right in thinking that now they do not have to respond to the 31.14 due to this allocation?

We have been offered mediation however it states that I need to have enough information to enter into negotiations, which I do not having not had the ability to inspect the documents in their POC.

I understand I cannot do an ‘unless’ order now the claim has been allocated to SCT.

is it worth calling / contacting claimant to ask again for this information?

I dont seem seem to have a court date, just a date to return SCDQ to court and claimant. I’ve read that all parties must disclose all they intend to rely upon 14 days before the hearing.

Any input on how best to move forward please?

Kindest regards

Brian
