  • County Court claim form from Lowell Portfolio I Ltd

    Hi and thank you for spending you free time to look at this post aswell as possibly giving me some much needed advise!

    To start I would like to say I have spent about a week going threw the forums before making a thread so please don't think for a second I'm just being lazy.

    The Story:

    I received a county court claim form from Lowell / Bryan Carter on the 15/10/2015 with the issue date of 14/10/2015 later that night I went online and acknowledged the intended claim. I have not entered a defence as of yet.

    Now where I require some help is as following I have used a third party company to send letters for me in which Lowell get a copy, bryan gets a copy and I send myself a copy.

    I have sent off today a cpr and a caa letter and they are as of following:

    Leham
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
    24/10/2015


    Lowell Portfolio I Ltd
    Ellington house
    9 Savannah house
    ls10 1ab



    To whom it may concern,
    Claim Number: xxxxxxx
    Request for documents mentioned in a statement of case under CPR 31.14
    On 15/10/2015 I received a County Court claim from yourselves of which I have acknowledged receipt indicating my intention to defend in full.
    To enable me to file my defense and/or counterclaim, I require inspection of documents you mention in your statement of case ahead of filing my defense on 09/11/2015.
     
    1. Agreement / Contact
    2. Default Notice
    3. Assignment
    4. Formal Demand
     
    In accordance with CPR 31.15(c) I undertake to be responsible for your reasonable copying costs incurred in complying with this CPR 31.14 request.
    You should note that this claim has not yet been allocated to a specific track and the provisions of CPR 27(2) are of no effect..
    You should ensure compliance with your CPR 31 duties and ensure that the document(s) I have requested are copied to and received by me within 7 days of receiving this letter.
    If you require more time in which to comply with this request you must tell me in writing and confirm your agreement to an extension of the time allowed for me to file my defense as allowed under CPR 15.5 so I may notify the court.
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Yours sincerely


    Leham

    And




    To whom it my concern:

    Account/Ref No: Shop Direct xxxxxxx

    With reference to the above agreement, I/we would be grateful if you would send me/us a copy of this credit agreement and a full breakdown of the account including any interest or charges applied.

    I/we understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 [sections 77-79], I am/we are entitled to receive a copy of any credit agreement and a statement of account on request.

    I/we enclose a payment of £1 which represents the fee payable under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

    I/we understand a copy of any credit agreement along with a statement of account should be supplied within 12 working days.

    I/we understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with the request for a copy of the agreement and statement of account under these sections of the Act.

    I/we look forward to hearing from you.

    Yours faithfully



    Leham



    So are these the correct things to have of sent and do I just go online and enter full defense with this following statement




    The Defendant denies that he is liable to the Claimant as alleged in the Particulars of Claim, or at all.

    The Defendant has not entered into any agreement to receive finance and/or services and/or goods from Shop Direct, or any of it's subsidiaries, and as such has not received any finance and/or services and/or goods from Shop Direct and does know of any debt owed to Shop Direct.

    The Defendant has sent the Claimant a request for documents mentioned in the statement of case under CPR 31.14, and has requested a copy of the alleged credit agreement as allowed for under the Consumer Credit Act but to date has received nothing.

    The Defendant puts the Claimants to strict proof of their claim.




    Thank you for any help and I hope this helps others!

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean about using a third party company ? but essentially yes, you have acknowledged the claim with intent to defend in full, sent a CPR request to BC and a CCA request with a £1 to Lowell. Not sure about that as your defence at the moment though without knowing a bit more about your case - plus you have sent a CCA request but haven;'t mentioned it in your defence, and it is much stronger than the CPR request, defence wise.

    Defence will be due in before about 14th November.

    Also - is this true? ie. have you never had a Shop Direct catalogue account ?
    The Defendant has not entered into any agreement to receive finance and/or services and/or goods from Shop Direct, or any of it's subsidiaries, and as such has not received any finance and/or services and/or goods from Shop Direct and does know of any debt owed to Shop Direct.
    ( presumably you mean does not know of any debt owed to Shop Direct)

      Re: County Court claim form from Lowell Portfolio I Ltd

      ive used a company that prints and sends letters its called documail, I have never had a catalog so I assumed that was the defense to submit, it is also not listed on my Experian profile so I have no idea.

      but apart from that the two letters are correct ?

        Re: County Court claim form from Lowell Portfolio I Ltd

        Okay, well if you have never had a catalogue then yes that should of course go in the defence. I would use the actual references of the CCA in there as well, if you want to have a look http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...t-Court-Claims that will give you a bit more on the wording front for the CCA request. Judges don't necessarily know what the consequences of a creditor not responding to a CCA request is so you need to tell them.

        The letters are fine, I haven't seen the particulars of claim, but the CPR request should only ask for documents mentioned in the statement of case ( on the claim form).

        How did you enclose the £1 if you used a third party to send the letters?

        ( oh and you should wait for a bit, 7 days preferably to get a reply to your requests - you do have a couple weeks left before your defence is due )

        You will probably get a letter from BC saying the CPR doesn't apply and possibly from Lowell saying they are waiting for documents and they don't know why you need them as you had them when you opened the account etc etc. Normal stuff.

          ( if you didn't send the £1 - then you do need to resend the CCA request to Lowell with the £1 )

            The CCA is actually coming to me alone in which I will scan and send recorded I just wanted an official paper trail from a third party is all.

            So I send the CCA to Lowell with the £1 aswell as a copy to there solicitor (i.e them again) and then wait for there standard reply as stated and go from there ?

            Also I have viewed your link on defense, do I not just do this all online or do I have to send a copy in writing to the court ?

              Re: County Court claim form from Lowell Portfolio I Ltd

              You can do it online via Moneyclaim online where you did your acknowledgement of service if you want to have a go expanding your defence a bit with the CCA stuff post it up here.

              You need to put the defence in before the deadline, but putting it in before you send the CCA letter would mean you can't include it in the defence, so hang fire for at least 7 days after you send it ( 12 would be better - but keep an eye on the date )

              Let us know if you hear back from either Lowell or BC.

              CCA only needs to go to Lowell ( as they are the creditor )

                    Re: County Court claim form from Lowell Portfolio I Ltd

                    hey! so I have received a reply from bryan carter solicitors LLP and it is as following:


                    We write to further to your recent letter, requesting disclosure pursuant to part 31.14 of the civil procedure rules.

                    We confirm this matter will most probably be allocated to the small claims track as this is a simple contractual matter and part 31 of the civil procedure rules will therefor not apply

                    In any event the notices o default and assignment left the control of the claimant when they were dispatched to you

                    it is the original creditors policy to issue agreements at the start of the contract and statements throughout the duration of the agreement and, in this regard, we ask you to refer to your own records.

                    We confirm our client is not agreeable to an extension for filling your defence

                    we recommend you seek independent legal advice

                    yous sincerely

                    us robbing B's


                    any way any advise on what is being said would be much appreciated, I have sent the CCA letter yesterday 1st class recorded so am hoping on a reply soonish.
