Hello all,
Firstly thank you all for your contributions to this website i believe its been extremely helpful in our battle against these crooks... however now i'm a bit stumped.
Long Story short... my other half withdrew some money whilst working abroad in the Summer of 2008 and was charged by Lloyds TSB. Being away he kinda put it to the back of this mind and when we got back the charges had mounted up so he refused to pay it! Having no permanent residence he got away with this... until recently!
We have been living in our own flat for 2.5 years and Lowells have contacted him saying he owes this money etc. He ignored the letters but it has started to get more serious.
After numerous threatening letters, this debt (now at £542.49) has now been passed to BW Legal. I came on here and decided to follow the 3 letter solution I found at www.getoutofdebtfree.org
Letter 1- sent 30th January/ recieved 31st - no response
Letter 2 - sent sent 7th Feb/ recieved 10th no response...
However on the 11th The Northampton Court sent through the papers which he had been threatened with. Now my understanding of this is he has 14 day to register that he will be contesting the claims and then another 14 days to create a defense.
So we then sent a CPR and a CCA letter (and £1 fee) to Lowells and BW Legal on 12th Feb, asking for copies of all documents to prove their claims against my OH.
Role on today (14th Feb) and BW Legal have responded to the 2nd letter stating that they are obtaining copies of the documents and please bear with us until we can obtain the documents from the original creditor not Lowells.
So my question is now this;
1) do we send the third letter or no need to bother?
2) My OH needs to register his intention to defend by 25th Feb... do we need an extension for the defence due date based on how long it will take BW Legal to provide this proof of their claim?
I'm just concerned now that he has had the Court Stuff through and literally has hardly any time at all!
I just dont really know what the next step is? Will he have to go to court? How do you put together a defence?
Thanks in advance for any help
