I've received a Scottish Small Claims pack from Shoosmiths looking to recover approx £2k in regards an old defaulted MBNA/Luma Credit Card Account which defaulted November 2019. Looking for guidance as to next steps. I believe this account may be statute barred by means of last payment/contact made with MBNA before raising of default, but need to confirm this by SAR with MBNA/Shoosmiths. Should I apply to both, or just one? Also paperwork from Court has last response date of 25th May which feels longer than it should be, so want to double check this isn't a typo also.

Ok it was actually a Capital One card (not MBNA) so I sent off a SAR to Capital One, and one to Lowell Portfolio as the owner of the debt, asking for copy agreement, statements and deeds of assignment etc.
I got this back from them…
The information you have requested would not fall within the scope of a data subject access request. Your former Capital One (Luma Credit Card) account, Lowell Reference xxxxxx, is being managed by one of our external collections partners Walker Love. You should therefore contact Walker Love directly to discuss this account. Their contact details are:

Have I used the wrong request for this as thought a SAR was the correct way?

That is nonsense, send Capital One the following, make sure you get Proof of Postage, if they fail to provide the information, then a complaint should be lodged with the ICO-

The following is the correct form -

I take it you've filed a Defence

Just to update on progress (or lack of) - no further correspondence from Lowell, Capital One or Walker Love in regards SAR requests made and that has been 30 days now.
The court pack last response date to file a defence/acknowledge the case is the 16th May 2024 (not the 25th as previously stated, typo on my part) which is also when the debt becomes statute barred. Would this work in my favour if I stated as part of my defence I have no knowledge of the account in question, and no evidence has been supplied to me by way of a SAR and that the account details listed in claimants notes would suggest this debt would likely be considered statute barred (5 years under Scottish Law from last payment/acknowledgement).

Have you sent them a CCA request? - https://legalbeagles.info/library/gu...etter-example/
It won't be statute barred because they've filed a Court claim against you.
In your Defence you can write that you made a SAR request to them, they haven't complied, they said ......................
