Hello
Firstly thank you all for this forum - really appreciate you being there.
I've registered the name kafkaesque as shall become apparent....
Received a claim? YES
Issue Date: 06 March 2017
Amount approx: £830
Claimant: LOWELL PORTFOLIO I LTD
Solicitor: LOWELL SOLICITORS LIMITED
Original Creditor: VODAFONE
Particulars of Claim:
1) The Defendant entered into an agreement with Vodafone under account reference xxxxxxxxx ('the Agreement').
2) The Defendant failed to maintain the required payments and the service was terminated.
3) The Agreement was later assigned to the Claimant on 30/08/2013 and notice given to the Defendant.
4) Despite repeated requests for payment, the sum of £6xx.xx remains due and outstanding.
And the Claimant claims
a) The said sum of £6xx.xx
b) interest pursuant to s69 County Courts act 1984 at the rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue, accruing at a daily rate of £0.xxx, but limited to one year, being £5x.xx
c) Costs
Is the debt Statute Barred?Don't think so
List any letters you have sent: Request for documents mentioned in a statement of case under CPR 31.14 for 'the Agreement'
I have also filed the AOS with MCOL.
Facts of the matter:
2012
a) I returned the phone in I believe, 2012 as I didn't like it and it didn't work properly.
b) I then had a kafkaesque experience for weeks so in the end I actually had to issue a MCOL against vodafone
c) Vodafone legal team investigated and settled this claim and I was refunded the amount I had paid + claim costs
2017
a) I have received a claim from Lowell via MCOL for £800+
b) I contacted vodafone customer service and have chat written records which state this is the SAME issue
c) I tried to access the original MCOL but have lost my login and password and spent ages on the phone to MCOL and they have told me the number - now I have to wait for a "move and merge"
d) I cannot find any written documentation of the original claim, nor any tracking number for the phone
e) I have spent days probably weeks if you include the first episode with this BS
f) I am currently signed off sick from work with anxiety and depression and am really struggling to cope with this
g) Today I have filed an AOS with MCOL
h) Monday I shall post the CPR letter
I feel I haven't done anything wrong I returned the phone, vodafone settled my original MCOL and I thought this was the end of the matter.
Can I make a counterclaim with all the stress and time I have had to waste on their mistake?
Also, what is that character after LOWELL PORTFOLIO? Is it an "I"(an uppercase I letter), a lowercase "L" or a number "1"?
Am I right in thinking this obfuscation?
I've written this post as thoroughly as I can - sorry if I have missed anything - just shout if you need any more info.
(I'm also dyslexic so please forgive mistakes!)
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks, K.
