Hi
Please hep me. I came home yesterday to a court claim. Claimant Arrow Global and the Solicitors Restons. I had two previous correspondance from this solicitors which I ignored as I had no idea who they were and thought that this may be some sort of scam as I do not remember owing them money. Particulars state:
" The claimant claims payment of the overdue balance due from the defendent under a contract between the defendant and Santander. dated on or about Aug 24 2007 and assigned to the claiment on May 10 2013.
I really do not know what this is about. I was living elsewhere at the time also. Please advise as I apparently owe nearly a thousand pounds. I had a bit of debt a while back but due to redundancy paid my creditors off. I have since sold my house due to divorce and now rent. I cannot afford this.

You have filed your Defence (which was maybe a little bit minimal )
The next step in the legal procedure is the Claimant has to inform the court of their intention to proceed or not. If they don't do that by the 28 day deadline then the claim is stayed.

I agree with letting sleeping dogs lie, but of course that prevents the debt from ever becoming SB.

In which case, no-one has the paperwork.
The defendant can't find half of his, & the court apparently destroys their files after 3 years (or so CCBC told me....they certainly can't find anything; they've now carried out 2 searches).

If you believe it is SB then you will need to amend your Defence.

Re: Reston/Arrow Global
Originally posted by Diana M View PostI agree that a claim can be stayed if the Claimant does not respond to a Defence.
But if a Claimant fails to meet a procedural deadline or comply with a court Order from a DJ then I would expect the sanction to be a strikeout of that claim by the court.
GSD Girl, a stay is a pause button on legal proceedings. If either party wants to continue they then have to make an application to the court to lift the stay and give their reasons. The longer the stay is in place (years not months) the harder it becomes to get it lifted.
So call the court to check the status of your claim, but don't worry if they haven't got an instant answer because NCCBC are about 20 days behind with their paperwork at the moment.

Yes I did send them a letter requesting CCA and sent a copy to Restons. What does stayed actually mean? This letter seems a bit like backtracking.

AG have had a few problems with this specialist legal department since it was setup.
I suspect another lash up with this.
As long as they are in default of the CCA request the debt is rendered unenforceable until the agreement or compliant reconstituted one is produced.

Yes I did, but I thought that I had paid that off many moons ago. I had a redundancy pay out around that time and cleared all cards etc. I have to say this is a surprise as I didn't even recognize Arrow as anyone I had an account with.

You sent them a s.78 CCA Request didn't you?
So that letter should really have said that they are unable to comply with your CCA Request and therefore the debt is unenforceable in court, because that is the true situation. How mean-spirited of them not to admit it.
They confirm that your Defence was filed on 17th July. The court has confirmed that it was received and sent to the Claimant who has 28 days to decided whether they wish to continue with the proceedings or not.
Their 28 days are up so unless they've informed the court of their intentions the claim will automatically be stayed. Call the court to check the status of your claim.
If would be foolhardy of them to continue if they haven't got the documents.
Maybe that's why they say that the claim is now being handled by their "in-house litigation team" meaning Restons Solicitors are no longer instructed
