  • County court form received today 😢

    Hello, I need some guidance on a county court claim please.

    issue date: 7/10/19
    acknowledged of claim - not yet
    amount claimed -£300
    claimant name -Lowell portfolio 1 ltd
    solicitor name- Lowell solicitor ltd
    original creditor - telephone broadband provider
    from 2011/2012
    original debt £140

    due to moving property early 2012 I had attempted to cancel the service with the telephone provided several times via telephone/email when I moved out of the property. They had continued the service even through the property was empty but continued to charge until they terminated the service themselves and passed on to lowell. If I remember I had contacted Lowell by letter years ago to explain I did not owe this money but they have continuously repeated letter after letter demanding payment.Today I have a letter for county court, to wish I want to defend

    please advise

        WIll do

        Get the claim acknowledged with intent to defend in full - if you can log in on moneyclaim online that is the best way to do it so you can keep track going forward. ( Acknowledge Claim
        )

        Do you have copies still of the emails / letters you sent trying to cancel when you moved ?

        Do you know exactly when the company terminated the contract ?

                    I think it would be worth asking for copies of all correspondence held by them, which would presumably include letters written to your old address after you moved away. When did they trace you at your new address? If you haven’t retained copy emails it would probably be advisable to be as clear as you can about the efforts you made to cancel, giving approximate dates of emails/letters/phone calls and your best recollection of what you actually wrote/said.

                        Since moving out of that property I have not once had a letter direct for the oc. I have moved twice in that timescale and only received any communication regarding the oc through Lowell.I have kept all of their communication the past year their communication has been strong . It has been swapped from Lowell at one point to another company called lucas credit then back to Lowell again and two letters since had a reduction of the original debt by 3/4 then they have put it up now to double the original amount.However I’m very ignorant and stubborn and out of principal refuse to acknowledge them(Lowell) but it seems now that I think it’s probably going to bite me in the backside.i will write to the oc and ask for all communications sent to this old addresses and ask if they have copy emails or recording of the telephone calls between me and them while I’m at it ( as most phone calls are recorded for training purposes) in hindsight I wish I didn’t clear out my email folders, moving forward what if they don’t send me these I ask for after all it was 2012? How long do oc keep this information on their files?

                              Anyone please I have another question. As there was no credit agreement nor was it regulated by the cca 1974. No default Would have been made.There is no mention of a default in the particulars of the claim, is it advisable to not mention the default part suggested on the forums Defense template and Remove that section out of my Defense completely ?

                              thank you in advance
