    6, The claimants Particulars of Claim states the agreement was entered into on the 26th November 2015. (is that date given in the Particulars of Claim?) <<< Yes it is - O.K. (next time, copy stuff verbatim)

    7, The defendant contends the alleged debt is statute barred by virtue of section 5 of the Limitations Act 1980 in that no payment or acknowledgement has been made for over 6 years. (so you are leaving that in). <<< Yes, I'm hoping it's ok to do so. I don't think it is Statute Barred, because they didn't default the account until July 2018. But keep it in, if you wish.

    8, The Claimant's statement of case does not state that the account was assigned from FCA Auto Services to CA Auto Finance UK LTD. The defendant does not recall receiving any notice of this assignment. (it might just be a name change) <<< I guess it might be but I'll leave that as is if that's ok - o.k.

    9, The Claimant is required to prove that the Default relied upon complied with the requirements of S88(4A) Consumer Credit Act 1974 and that the notice was in the prescribed form as required by The Consumer Credit Enforcement Default and Termination Notice Regulations 1983. (did you receive a default notice at the time?, if not you really need to include the complete wording) <<< I received a default in July 2018 but I believe they didn't legally give me enough time to pay. The Default Notice they are using is dated Jan 2018 but I don't ever remembering receiving that, so it could be 'manufactured'. - Include the complete wording from the example defence.

    10, On the 13th May 2024 the defendant sent a request for inspection of documents mentioned in the Claimant's statement of case under Civil Procedure Rule 31.14 to Stevensdrake. The defendant requested the Claimant provide copies of the Default Notice, the Notice of Assignment, The Statement of Account and Termination Notice. (did you ask for the CCA as well?) << I requested the CCA separately. - You should have requested it in your CPR 31.14 request, because they state it in their CPR Particulars of Case..

    I'll add point 12 - ok.
    Not all heroes wear capes....Thank you echat. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

        OK, So the solicitor has finally come back, way, way past the 28 days they had after receiving my request for all the docs (I sent it recorded in May) All they have sent is a few things that I requested and, as I said, not everything I asked for.

        They end the letter with telling me I'll be asked shortly by the court to complete Directions Questionnaires.

        What do I do now echat11 ?

          Wait for the Court to send you the Directions Questionnaire.

            Questionnaire has arrived. It seems simple enough to fill in but then I wonder if I tick if I agree it goes to mediation.

              Yes, you want Mediation, but that's providing you've received the requested documents.

              Mediation is 'good' as it allows the parties to settle the matter without a Hearing.

              If you haven't received all the documents state that 'you want Mediation, but the Claimant hasn't provided the requested documents'.

                Sorry Echat, not been able to access for a few days.

                Ok, so I'll fill in the hard copy and send back to court. I'm assuming all my defense etc will have to be supplied at a later date, on a different form? This being the part about irresponsible lending etc.

                I am still waiting for 2 documents of which I asked for. They have said one of them will come from Creditor but they haven't mentioned the other one at all.

                Just one other thing, if by going to mediation...could it be determined (whilst in mediation) that they might not want to go to court and it be decided to drop the case?

                Thank you so so much for everything thus far.

                  a) I'm assuming all my defense etc will have to be supplied at a later date, on a different form? This being the part about irresponsible lending etc.

                  You mean your Witness Statement, and evidence, yes that comes later.

                  b) I am still waiting for 2 documents of which I asked for. They have said one of them will come from Creditor but they haven't mentioned the other one at all.

                  O.K.

                  c) Just one other thing, if by going to mediation...could it be determined (whilst in mediation) that they might not want to go to court and it be decided to drop the case?

                  That's the whole point of Mediation, see if the case can be settled.

                    echat11 OK, so finally received copy of their N180 (they filed it late after a warning from the courts). Do I now wait for something from the courts?

                    Solicitor just sent me a threatening, intimidatory email stating they anticipate receiving instructions to apply for a summary judgement on the grounds I have no defense....(they have no idea what my defense is!!)...also they offered a 15% discount if I settle now, as long as I make 3 payments of roughly £2500 a month...again, how do they have any clue what I could afford, even if I did lose the case?

                    I'm still waiting for some paperwork not provided with my SAR request, which (by the way) took them 9 weeks to produce. Not withstanding the last payment made was Feb 2017.

                    I really felt their email reeked of them trying to 'bully' me and I'm considering reporting them for that. However, do I stay waiting for a date from the court or should I be doing something before that?

                      You need to concentrate on what you need to do, don't worry about their threats etc.

                      The next step maybe Mediation if both parties has agreed to it (a free service outside of the Court process).
